I spent most of my time as a player or GM, with 55 game sessions, across 18 systems both onstream and off. The lion's share of these sessions came from my 2 beloved homegames - Blades in the Dark, and Daggerheart. Forming these incredible groups has been the singular highlight of my gaming year.

As a producer, editor, or guest/panelist, I sat in on 38 sessions recordings, livestreams, or Session 0s. I count these because they're a crucial part of the production process! I'm particularly proud of my editing work on The Walking Dead, though I've still got lots of improvement to work towards.

Obligatory TTRPGs of 2025 wrap-up. In total, as a GM, player, producer, panelist, host, or chat guest, I took part in 97 sessions this year, across 27 systems. Yes, I am fuming about missing 100, especially since at least 6 sessions were cancelled in December because I was so ill. Behold, data:

I need to share my most treasured acquisition from Dragonmeet. Our incredible GM @samsighs.bsky.social commissioned these @runefable.bsky.social dice for our Daggerheart group. Our Hope dice and Fear dice match the collector's edition perfectly and are more beautiful than any dice I've ever owned.

A pair of D12 dice, one bright yellow, full of shimmer and rippling tendrils, ink in purple, the other a vibrant purple, similarly full of shimmer and contrasting tendrils, inked in gold.

Listen I don't know if you knew this but I just established some awards and now I am the decider of who is good and cool. I am therefore delighted to present you with this very real and official award (graphic design is not my passion)

A very serious and official awards certificate, which states that Michelle Kelly is hereby recognised as The Dog's Bollock's, Innit. For giving 100% in absolutely everything, being a better colleague and friend than we deserve, and creating games, stories, and moments of joy that literally no one else could. Signed with a very real and authentic signature, by me JC Darcy, as the self-appointed arbiter of such things.

Like a nerd, I keep track of my game sessions throughout the year. Sometimes it's a pain, and I'll forget for a while then have to go back and check my calendar to fill in the table. But then I get pretty data like this at the end and remember it's worth it. Repost cos I forgot an entire system.
