I did think about only including runes that are not d6 on the sheet, but knowing they all exist is part of the Glorantha / Runequest experience.

Character sheet here. This is pretty much all there is written down about the conversion. I will probably write it up like i did my Dracula Dossier one, but haven't yet.

A simple on the fly converstion, nothing written down. Attributes, Rings, Distinctions, Traits. Rune Magic and Spirit Magic are dice with a "step down on hitch" SFX, but Rune Magic adds to total no;t just pool. Very much WIP. I originally went more complex but slimmed it down.

I'll be prepping my next Cortex Glorantha scenario (we are half way through the planned arc, and this is a "B plot" scenario to showcase one of the PCs). And I'll be looking over some playbooks, etc, for a Slugblaster game that's coming up.

The owls are exactly what they seem... the perfect gift for that significant person in your Lodge!

Clearly that should be 'dust off', but then Dust 'of' Randolf sounds like a posthumous Ephemera if my character dies!

Im in! I can dust of Randolf, and also take some turns in the GM chair if you want to play!

I've played a dozen sessions or so as a player (with a great GM - @nica.bsky.social ) and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I'm in agreement about how good it is. #TeamVancianOrder all the way. I now wanna get behind the screen for this once space opens in the calendar. Keep making IS stuff, please!

This year I want to finally get Invisible Sun to the table as a GM. The Wellspring delivering soon is great timing!

Same reason ticket prices for some acts are not published until they are about to go on sale - to stop people having rational thinking time about the cost.

Having picked up tickets recently for my daughter, my theory is that a time pressure is so that people don’t sit there and think “wow these tickets are too expensive, can I afford to go?” And just click buy to avoid missing out.

Today I also played a session of Into the Odd. Almost immediately afterwards I then played a session of Alice Is Missing. Two very difference experiences, both enjoyable!

My final thought is that as always the best thing to come out #TTRPGs for me is the people. Almost all my closest freinds were met because of gaming, and I continue to meet and do creative stuff with many wonderful people because of the hobby. Here is to another year of that!

Fellow #TTRPG gamers, what are your goals for 2025? Here are mine!
- Get back to weekly gaming with my oldest, dearest friends.
- Try at least 10 new games.
- Finish clearing down my collection and move to 90% PDF.
- Go to two new conventions (not sure which).
- Do more face to face gaming.

The plan for my wednseday group is to start up RPing again next week, which I am super excited about. So that'll be me back to GMing two campaign s as we restart Cortex Glorantha. Thankfully as we are old friends, we still met for boardgames most weeks, which is always wonderful.

Although on my stats the UGMs are third, second place was the collected games at ConTingency 24, which doesn't really count as a group, but its how my spreadsheet works.

So, what has your 2024 in gaming looked like, Bluesky?
comment in response to

What does this mean going forward? Not sure, really. I'm happy with more RPG time (conscious decision to spend less time single player PC gaming and more time RPGing, and I am enjoying that). I'm happy with playing more different games. So I guess more of the same going forward.

How does this compare across the years? A steady increase in RPG time in general, more conventions and streaming, but a shift in the last year from playing to GMing as a majority.

The one I was disappointed with was Cyberpunk Red/ Some of the rules changes from what I remember of 2020 were welcome, but the character creation options and general setting tone just seems to have thrown the cyberbaby out with the corpo-poisoned bathwater. But that's just my tastes not defintive.

The standouts from the 'new' list are:
- Mothership 1e, which just rocks short form sci fi horror. Plus the GM advice in the Warden's Guide is really good no matter your experience.
- The Between, which delivered a really interesting story and some brilliant interpersonal scenes and drama.

It was a one shot year compared to the last two. It was also a great year for trying new things. I tend to be a creature of gaming habit; even though I buy, read, and talk about new stuff a lot I tend to go back to "comfort foods" of gaming. Thus year I made a marked effort to try more games.

The next closest with 22 hours with the Unconventional GMs (find them (and occasionally me with them) on YouTube). My other "weekly" group only played 6 times for RPGs for various reasons mostly related to emotional energy (and its perfectly valid not to play when not everyone is feeling it).
comment in response to

Just under half my hours (109.75) were all with the same group, who played 41 times - not quite every week but a good enough hit rate that I feel we can call ourselves weekly still. That was mostly the main Shadowrun campaign which is 51 sessions in as of this week, but also some fun one-shots.

I am currently running Runequest with Cortex Prime. I get to focus on the bits of the setting that I enjoy, and have rules support for them.
