Preparing for a home campaign

Very excited about this! I'll be running The Ruins of Castle Gygar using Troika! with the dungeon crawling rules of B/X stapled on. I haven't run an in-person game in a long, long time, so I'm excited to get back into it. The core backgrounds are Chris P. Wolf's "Troika! on the Borderlands" alongside a few hand-rolled ones.

Moving away from competitive games

As I get older, I realize that I'm not cut out for competitive online games the way I used to be. Instead, I'm trying to focus on playing games on my own and at a much more leisurely pace.

Recently, I've been playing:

• Monster Hunter Rise. Using the Steam Controller gyro with the insect glaive mid-air stuff is fun.
• Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. I haven't played this series since Shattered Skies on the PS2. Incredibly engaging, and a lot easier to control than it used to be.
• Final Fantasy XIV Online. Slowly working my way through the Heavensward expansion. There's so much you can do in XIV, it's a bit overwhelming...
