I keep track of my RPG and miniature purchases as I go each year and I have done this for more than a decade. I was updating my list for this year and it occurred to me I ought to go look at what I was buying and what I was playing and compare it to now plus mix in some hindsight.
What I was playing:
- The year started off with some Marvel Heroic
- Most of it was spent running my Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous campaign into the ground
- Lots of talk about the new Savage Worlds Rifts books that were getting Kickstarted back then. Lots of Savage Worlds talk in general from cards to using it with different settings.
- Managed to work in some Deadlands and some d6 Star Wars
- Later we managed to work in some FFG Star Wars
- Holiday time meant it was time for the Time of Crisis in Mutants & Masterminds!
It's funny that it took me ten years to finally finish Time of Crisis - at least it was with a couple of those same players!
Miniatures-wise it was Eldar ... so much Eldar. This was the year I built what is still the core of my Eldar army.
What I was picking up:
- Perhaps not surprisingly it was a lot of Savage Worlds stuff
- There was also quite a bit of Pathfinder
- A fair amount of d6 Star Wars
- A little FFG Star Wars - they were still putting out new material then
- Some Mutants & Masterminds books
- A few 5th edition items
It is good to see that most of what I was adding was being driven by what I was playing or thinking about playing. This year was effectively the end of that Pathfinder campaign as it just ran out of gas after 3 + years. I officially ended it in January 0f 2017. Both Star Wars games and M&M and Deadlands remained intermittent occasional games for years.
