The Best of … 2022

December 31, 2025

What was 2022 like?

Gamingwise – I don’t really remember.

January

Virtual True Dungeon 7

Why call out this post?  I was prepared to skip January where I’m sure as time goes on there’s going to be fewer and fewer Best Of posts just because I post less than I used to.  In this case, rereading it, it’s long …  It shows how much more I cared about VTD years ago than I do now.  It isn’t just how many rounds of combat runs took.

February

More Legendary Ideas

I have more fleshed out ideas than usual that people could even steal.

March

Ill-Fitted Suit

Bunch of this isn’t actually that good, so why call this out?  I have important things to say here about what makes superhero play different.  I don’t know how much I say anymore that is different from what I’ve said before, but I think I got into quintessential elements of what differentiates the supers genre.

April

May

Mission Accomplishing

Most of this isn’t new.  Reason why I like this is that there’s real game philosophy on the role [sic] of dice.

VTD 11

It’s just a long description of playing something very few people care about, so why?  Difficult vs challenging.  Oh, and I did analysis other people don’t even if nobody cares.

KublaCon 2022

Lot to say.  Included images.  I’m thinking of going to KublaCon 2026.

June

PC Santa

Not a great post, but it’s an idea I need to think more about.

July

More Morals

It may have always been obvious, but it only became obvious to me when I wrote this.

August

Gen Con 2022

Should every Gen Con post make one of these lists?  Probably.  There’s just so much in the way of analysis in my reviews.

September

B.R.I.M.S.T.O.N.E.

Should I care about this RPG or should I not?  Why does it matter if I don’t know?  If I can bang out some basic mechanics in a couple of hours, should be possible to make something meaningful without a ton of effort.

[Past Blast] May Wheel of Time CCG Ideas

When I care enough, I can create some quality stuff.  Oh, I don’t know if the cards’ numbers are quality, I mean the tightness of the card text.

October

[Past Blast] Wheel of Time CCG Modules

Ah, Fall 2022, the month of WoT CCG stuff.  This is cute.

[Past Blast] Wheel of Time CCG “Current” Decks

Even with the broken image links, this is sexy.  Amazingly enough, in two-player CCGs, I understand much more the obsession with deck builds.

Lingering Wounds

At this point, any time I talk about something different, I’m vastly more impressed than I once would have been.

Gamehole Con 2022

I’d like to be able to just go every year.  With more effort, maybe I’ll be able to make that happen.

November

December

Run, Franco. Run.

Not really about gaming.  I do find it interesting how much more I care about sports than many a person I know.

So, 2022 was the year that game stuff recovered some from pandemic.  So much of recent years just merges together in my mind and I don’t specifically remember much of it.  I find it funny that WoT CCG stuff was at all of interest.

Well, 2025 is a year I hope to write about in 3 years.  Hopefully, things will be in a better place, then.
