Review of my 2025

That should do it for 2025. Let's have a look how it went.

How Was 2025?

What a busy year! Or at least busy everywhere except for my blog. Over the course of this year, the blog earned itself 24.2K views, and I made incredible 42 blog posts on it. While that is the highest number of blog posts I've had on the blog in any year so far, I have to also caution that 31 of them were made as part of the Character March challenge. Outside of that, I made no blog posts throughout May and all months from July until November. Let's see how my resolutions went!

Resolutions from 2025

My goal for this year was to make 12 to 25 Things. I ended up making 45, so I won't be listing them all here. Instead, I'm gonna list some goals I am most proud of.

Public TTRPG Presentations. I made two public appearances to speak about TTRPGs in two of the biggest cities in my country. As part of one of these, I was also a Game Master on stage for a session that was played live in front of an audience.

Videos and Streams. I made five videos and three streams during my previous year. Not a bad start, but I should do more stuff like this. Despite all the views my blog gets, it gets zero interactions, so I hardly feel like anyone really reads this stuff.

Daily Drawings. I drew every day for seven of 2025's twelve months. While I can't say my art is amazing, it most certainly improved as the year went on. The total amount of daily drawings is 228.

Published TTRPGs. I published a total of 11 TTRPGs, or updates to existing TTRPGs, last year. The longest of them, Pirate Sea, took an entire month and a team of three people to develop. Some of them were short, but they also have companion videos as a compensation.

Hopes and Goals for 2025

I want more variety next year. Last year's few goals worked out for me, I got done so much, this year I think I could try to go for more than that. I'll try to keep my goals brief.

• Stream 12 times
• Publish 12 videos
• Make 12 Things*
• Lose 12 kilograms
• GM 52 TTRPG sessions

* Streams and videos don't count as Things for the sake of this, and I am discontinuing counting monthly things as two Things. It was nice while it lasted, but let's be real here - doing something for an entire month drained me of a lot of energy, even if it took little to no time. I am still recovering from developing that pirate game.

As for the GMing of 52 sessions, I'm going to include solo games. I started playing one with a good friend of mine shortly after Christmas, so I'm hoping it's gonna be played for 52 days at least, and if it is finished by that point, we'll try to start another one.

Ideally, I'd finish all five of these items, but if I'm going to be realistic about it, fewer are more likely gonna be the case. I'm not gonna be unhappy if I finish four, or three, or even just a single one. I'm just gonna do what I can without attaching yet another number to it.

Thank you for reading! Have a happy New Year 2026, a great century, and may your resolutions too come true!
