It's interesting because 2025 and 2026 have both been my most active years in the hobby, but I was definitely feeling a bit overwhelmed last year with the content consumption. So much this year has been about my sustainability, but I wasn't really able to describe it until I read the article above

There are some things I regret, but this year has had some massive changes in my working life, so I needed to find time to rest. And my hobby was starting to feel a lot less like rest!

2026 has been the year I put a lot less focus into "staying in the know" with the hobby and I am enjoying so much more of my games than I was before. My podcast queue is over 60 episodes long now, and my unread blog feed is much longer. But my games are fun, and memorable. My community is alive!

I'm very excited to make more Rascal Reading Club. It's a fun show to do (especially the talk back episodes) and I'm not-so-secretly very proud of the first season. Help me decide what season two should be about via the magic of ranked-choice voting.

It's been such a privilege to write for Rascal, to write for you, and it would be really nice if I could do it next year as well. If you can sign up, please do. I would do so much better, the work world be so much better, if the site wasn't precious.

I'm not so far in but I enjoyed the breakdown of the different levers of fun that come from miniature games, and their proposed player profiles! Really interesting to map that to the friends I have.

I spoke at Vienna's Spielefest about Playstorming, our Monthly RPG playtesting event here in the city On this slide, I talked about our joke (but not a joke?) goal to make Vienna the RPG Design capital of Europe! But all we really want to do is make a community space for sharing the joy of design
