December '25 In Review

 It's never not a busy month in December. Work is always crazy busy for me this time of year, and with the holidays it makes the rest of my time equally busy. The holidays themselves were relatively low key, mostly focused on keeping the kid entertained, but as exhausting as it’s been, it was great to spend time with the family, and I’m looking forward to what 2026 will bring (I say with some dread). 


Gaming
The B team has dealt with the fey in Kobold Korners! Some interesting reaction rolls have resulted in the remaining fey wanting to stay and work with the kobolds, now that they are free of the fairy queen's influence. I don't know what their plan is next, but I should figure it out so I can make sure I've prepped what's needed. 

I didn't get quite as far along in my session reports as I'd planned, but still made a decent dent, and should wrap up August the next time I get to sit down to write.

My work game has been on hold for the holiday season, but should be starting back up again in January with the return of a player who's missed the last 6 months!

I’ve been thinking about what I want to do gaming wise in the upcoming year, and in short I want more. I was thinking about doing one of those daily challenges, but they’re hard. 

Miniatures
Coming in just at the wire I did manage to finish Valfuryx and I'm pretty happy with it! I didn't manage to finish up everything I'd planned for Q4, but I got most of it, and a solid start on everything else. 

In addition to that I've got a small pile of primed metal minis, mostly from Stargrave, that I plan on working on over the next few months. 

Unplanned, but I've continued to make good progress on my Flatline City terrain. At this point I've got more than enough painted terrain to play some Stargrave! So really no excuse not to get a game in next month.
