Games to June 2025

 

As we've hit half way through the year, here's an update on the roleplaying games that I have played.

So far I have have played 34 sessions, fifteen of which I was a GM, and the remainder as a player. This is unusual and reflects the end of the Achtung! Cthulhu campaign and the hiatus between. I have played eighteen games face-to-face, all at conventions.

I have attended Revelation (report), Airecon (report), North Star (report) and LongCon. I plan to attend TravCon and Furnace later in the year.

My most played game is Trail of Cthulhu, with the final eight sessions of the Eternal Lies campaign that I've mentioned before.

Next is Traveller/Cepheus. This has been a mixture of one-shots at conventions, Far Horizon and more lately, The Jägermeister Adventure. Seven sessions so far and more throughout the rest of the year, hopefully.

Sneaking into third place, like a Hobbit into Mordor, is The One Ring. We played the Lone Lands campaign from the second edition over the LongCon weekend, and also had a session zero, for six sessions. Lovely campaign and I will post more soon.

After that, City of Mist and Achtung! Cthulhu are tied at three sessions each.

There are a number of one-offs as well.

VTT wise, half the sessions were on Zoom (Eternal Lies at eight), one session was on Role (The One Ring) and the remainder (Traveller and Achtung! Cthulhu) were on Roll20. The latter is noticeably better performing, but it doesn't beat the AV quality of Zoom or Role.

Overall, a good first half.
