... The Year of Gaming Dangerously

In the tradition of The Viking Hat GM's 2007's gaming in review here is the summary of my years gaming for 2008.


All up I had 123 gaming events for the year!
That is down by 3 on last year but I was unavailable for almost 2 months this year.


They break down like this:

21 sessions with ORC

• 7 playing Just Speculatin' homebrew scifi
  
• 1 doing crazy character generation
• 13 playing Osere II homebrew modern spy
  

43 sessions with my Tuesday Knights group

• 4 playing Magic as the main event (there are usually some games each week) well down on last years ~50% thanks to some recruiting
• 32 running roleplaying. 17 on Judge Dredd. 1 on a one-shot called Tribe 9. 14 for Deadlands.
• 7 playing boardgames

27 sessions with the Black Guild on Thursdays

• 2 running a Special Forces one-shot
• 14 running In the Sand improvised based on The Peace War
  
• 4 running a Traveller one-shot Gzan's Recruits
  
• 4 playing the Shadowrun kids game
• 1 running The Shattered Earth one-shot
• 1 playing the Battlestar Galactica boardgame
• 1 creating Traveller characters
  

13 Sundays gaming group days playing board, war and card games

5 Spontaneous boardgaming get togethers

4 Spontaneous Magic playing sessions

2 poker nights

4 Magic Tournaments amongst our group of players - one for each new set

1 Geektogethers

2 visits to LURG my old uni games club


All up I played with about 34 different gamers (and about 8 non-gamers).

• 4 players on Mondays
• 8 players on Tuesdays
• 6 on Thursdays (3 shared with Tuesday)
• 18 at Sundays gaming, 7 from Tuesdays, 11 not. Multiple attendees: 6 from Tuesdays, 2 others.
• Spontaneous Magic was only with Tuesday night gamers.
• Poker was with around 8 non-gamers.
• Magic tournaments brought 5 from the Tuesday group, plus one ex-Thursday and 2 ex-Tuesdays players and another non/beginner-gamer.
• The visit to LURG gave me a couple of board/wargames with 3 or 4 new gamers.

Phew! Luckily I can cut and paste most of that from last years wrap up.

I the coming year I expect to drop back around the 100 mark as I intend to avoid the three times a week that was the middle of the year - damn you tempting chance to run stuff on Thursday nights!
