2026 in gaming

Well, we're supposed to have our first session of the year on Saturday. Already one guy bowed out. I think I'm going to talk to the husband/wife team that have been running the game (husband was running when I started, got kind of burned out and let his wife take over while he took on a character) and see if the other two are going to be as flaky as they generally have been, should we have a plan B that we can do on short notice if the sessions fall apart like this? And this is where I think I'm going to offer to run.

I'm not sure what would be best to run, but I'm kind of thinking something like Cult of Undeath; my shortened and trimmed version of Carrion Crown, or possibly the Freeport Trilogy with the whole Kastor Lieberung situation from Enemy Within thrown in too. It'll be 5e, sadly, but that's what they play and what they know, and they've expressed no desire to move from that at all. Sometimes you've got to meet people where they are rather than where you wish that they were. 


That image was generated by ChatGPT. Man, does that summarize D&D in "current year" or what? girlbosses and animal people everywhere.

We'll see how it goes.

I also was texting on Telegram with my son-in-law yesterday, and he started playing a Sith Warrior in Old Republic. I decided to join him and group with him and go through some of his early story missions with my own Sith Warrior, Phovos Maledict. He's not super high level, only 35, but certainly high enough to breeze through anything on Korriban. That was fun too.
