Steve's Game Plan (2009)

[steve_hix]

Writing out the games I played last year has me in the mood to plan out what I want to play this year. Last time I tried this, I think I was overly ambitious; this time, I'm keeping it simple:

• I want to run a 3 to 7 episode game of Mouse Guard - which my Tuesday night group is already doing. [ DONE! ]

• After that, it looks like we're going to play Season 2 of our Primetime Adventures: 'The Other Side' game. This would make it the longest running game we've ever done, and the first time we've revisited one of the stories we've told. [ DONE! ]

• I'm going to run Bacchanal this year - a one-off game of wine and decadance in ancient Rome. [ DONE! ]

• In terms of publishing, I want to finish putting together the Bad Family ashcan so other people can read and play it. Then I want to choose a 3-page game to publish - at this stage it's looking like either the Zombie Plan or my untitled LARP game.

Last time I did this, I saw themes in my choices; this time, not so much. It's simple stuff that I really want to do - Bacchanal is probably the only point where I'm pushing myself. Hopefully, keeping this list small and focused will give me lots of space to fit other intriguing gaming opportunities (such as TORG, Spione, and Capes) if they arise or if I get excited about organising something.

What about you? What's your game plan?
