So, new year begins. During the holidays, we had a heated discussion amongst the gaming group about our lackluster ways of starting and abandoning projects. Thus, I’m setting a preliminary plan for the games I’ll be GM’ing this year, here and now.

Henryn viimeinen iso keikka – The current heist mini-campaign I’m running. It’s only 7 games + prologue and epilogue, so I should very well be able to make it happen. The band of thieves have now set their sights on their score and are about to pull it off. Considering we have 6 games and the epilogue to go, and we hopefully manage to do a couple of sessions per months, I’d say this one will be completed somewhere between April and May. I will run a second game of it with fewer game sessions after I’ve completed the first one, and possibly a couple of one-shots, followed by it hopefully giving me a free pass to RoPeCon with a couple of gaming runs. At that point, I also hope I have a nice PDF version ready to show the internets.

College of War – The fourth incarnation of the campaign should continue soonish. University Drama. Magical theory as a science. It’s a lighthearted campaign. Something of a Fantasy Heartbreaker. And most of all, it’s a campaign that I love a lot. And that has been the stage for various stories in the past years. The CoW has something like at least 20-40 game sessions left in it, so barring any players leaving the country (which caused the current pause the campaign is on), we should have more than enough for the whole year.

Sneak:run – This is a campaign that almost got started, and one that I would still like to run. The previous try to start it got horribly mangled by people having ideas and me not having enough preparation to bring to the table a basic proposition what I wanted the campaign to be. Basically it’s a dualistic campaign – two player groups with similar goals but different means. I’ll probably start this campaign after Henry’s is done.

One-shots and playtests – apart from the previously-mentioned Henry-oneshots, I’ll try to have a couple of other small games that aren’t related to things. I’m still rooting to get the play group to try out The Shab-al-Hiri Roach at some point as well as run a game of either Burning Empires or Mouse Guard to them. Also we’re doing playtesting for the Tokyo Rain RPG, so we’ll probably continue doing those playtest runs as long as they’re needed.
