It looks like it's going to be another quiet year for gaming. I fully expect my game at work to continue, with us probably reaching the end of "Storm King's Thunder" towards the end of the year (and then...?). Other than that, I don't foresee running or even playing in any other games, largely due to the lack of a group.
Which is a shame. But then, it's something that I could probably change if I really wanted to, and was willing to put the effort in, and the truth is that I'm not bothered enough to actually do anything about it.
This year also looks to be one where I reduce my RPG purchases even further. With the move of Pathfinder to 2nd edition, the time will finally come for me to end my subscription to their Adventure Path product. By my count there are seven issues still to come, including the one that has just been shipped.
I don't expect any other purchases for any RPG other than D&D. That might, just possibly, change - I might be tempted to buy the core rules for the Star Trek RPG while it remains available - but I think that's unlikely. For D&D, I'm currently reading through the "Creature Codex" from Kobold Press (I had intended to skip this, as I don't need more monsters, but got a really good Black Friday deal), and I think it's possible I'll buy one (or even two) of WotC's offerings this year - I'll take a look at any rules supplement they issue, and as before I'll buy an Eberron, Dark Sun, or Spelljammer book if they produce one. But I'm no longer interested in their other adventures, in more monsters, or in getting supplements just for the sake of it. They have to offer me something I want, and that's looking doubtful.
So that's 2019: little gaming, the end of one set of purchases, and a likely absence of others.
