"Where have you been?!" I hear you ask. Well, dear reader, I've mostly been here...
I went on my holiday. It was fabulous. Then I got home and jumped back into doing what I usually do: work, PC game, and roleplay. I realised this blog was here, waiting, but I admittedly felt a little tired and didn't have anything to add to it.
And now? Well, there are so many things going on right now that I should probably babble about them. Let me do a general update entry and see where we go from there.
Dragon Heist
My most recent D&D Waterdeep: Dragon Heist playthrough finished in October after 16 months. With 43 sessions, it was definitely the longest playthrough, but it was a ton of fun. I have lost count of how many times I've run this particular campaign (I think it's six or seven times now) and still it remains a favourite.
With the end of this campaign, I now have only two campaigns I'm presently running.
Homebrew - SA edition
We're twelve sessions into my homebrew and it's going well. I have a lot of writing to do before the next session, but I'm excited as we're reaching a well-beloved story milestone in the game. Challenges I'm facing... hm... is mostly my desire to make it interesting for players who've done this bit before. I've got three of the five who has been through this milestone. Now, they chose to join the game knowing that repeats of things would happen, so it's on them on the one hand, but on the other, that doesn't mean I want to have them bored.
Homebrew - North American edition
At 41 sessions, things are going good. They've gone off the beaten path a little, which means I have had to create extra content - a challenge and a delight at the same time. I'm really enjoying the progress we're making with the characters.
There is admittedly some nerves. They're not yet at the same point as the first South African group that we stopped, but as we approach that steadily, it will be more anxiety-inducing. That said, we'll see how things go.
Girls in Gaming 2026
Another Girls in Gaming event is being organised by Valhalla Gaming. I'm not going to be DMing as I have something else on that day, but I'm helping with getting some Dungeon Masters situated for the event. I'm also helping by writing some of the oneshots and such for one of the DMs who is doing an event like this for the first time. So that's exciting.
Is that it?
Hm.... I can't think of much I've been doing besides playing computer games. I might dive into some highlights next month if I remember and have the energy to do so.
So while I've been quiet here, I've been plodding along as per usual. Still kicking... it just hurts me now when my kick connects with something.
