What was 2022 like?
Gamingwise – I don’t really remember.
January
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
I have more fleshed out ideas than usual that people could even steal.
March
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
Most of this isn’t new. Reason why I like this is that there’s real game philosophy on the role [sic] of dice.
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.
Lot to say. Included images. I’m thinking of going to KublaCon 2026.
June
Not a great post, but it’s an idea I need to think more about.
July
It may have always been obvious, but it only became obvious to me when I wrote this.
August
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
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.
At this point, any time I talk about something different, I’m vastly more impressed than I once would have been.
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
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.
