Sorry it this is a bit late but unfortunately I had some real life things that had to be taken cared of. Oh such is life. Any way, I will not boor you all with what I had to deal with. Instead, lets get to my new year resolutions that deal with hobby gaming!
1. Though I am kind of worried about the longevity of the game, I really want to get a group of L5R players going on in the area. I have two places where I could play and I should not let them go to waste. I am not planning on playing competitively but would like to play casually monthly. I may post my thoughts on the game latter.
Goal: Create a local play group and play at least 12 matches of L5R.
2. I haven't been playing a lot of of magic lately, probably another topic I will post about soon, but I still have a place for the game in my heart. Which is why I would like to finish the cube that I have been working on. I started it late last year and managed to get a small chunk of it completed. I am using a list that already existed, it is just a matter of finding all of the cards. It will probably take me a very long time to finish the cube if I wait to play with it till I have all of the cards, so I am willing to proxy the more expensive cards for now.
Goal: Finish building my cube, with proxies aloud for cards over $15 dollars. Then I want to draft with this cube at least once.
3. I have finished painting my Heavy Gear models just in time for DreamPod 9 to drop a new set of Alpha Rules. Though I haven't been able to play the game yet, I did have some thoughts about the rules that I was kind of turned off from. But I had planned on playing the game because JT had wanted to play. I am hoping that the alpha rules do manage to alter some of the rules that I had problems with.
Goal: Read the alpha rules and post my thoughts. Then play at least four games either with JT or a game group.
4. There are two miniature games that I have been itching to play for a while now, Medieval Tales and Ron and Bones. Both are now out of print games but they have awesome models and small skirmish rules. The models have been sitting in my to do pile for a very long time now and I am feeling very guilty about this. I should paint the models at the very least.
Goal: Paint all the models that I currently have and play at least one game of either or.
5. I have been wanting to play Warmachine for some time now, I even have an army that I won at Templecon a while back and I have a small number of models for another faction. As this is the big game to play at Templecon, I really should learn to play the game. My buddy Darkstar is trying to get into the game as well.
Goal: Challenge my buddy Darkstar to an escalation league of Warmachine.
6. Speaking of Templecon, I really need to get more games in. It seems that whenever I go I end up doing demo's, buying stuff, and generally just walking around. Now don't get me wrong, that is a wonderful way of spending a weekend, but I really could throw a lot more gaming into the weekend. I mean that is what the con is really about right? The problem for me and the convention is that I never have enough models to field any armies.
Goal: This one may be a bit tricky as you don't really know what games are going to be available till closer to the con but by the end of the year I should have a good idea on what games will be on the agenda. So my goal is to have two fully fleshed out armies that I plan on taking with me to templecon.
7. I really have not been doing enough Roleplaying. I have always loved to play but ever since I moved to my new location I have been pretty much out of the loop. I would like to change that.
Goal: Play at least four games of any RPG system.
Well that is the overall goal of the year, though I am sure many of those will change. We shall see. Post your goals below in the comment section!
