Fuego Fish posted:1. Write at least two new books for sale. Specifically for sale so this doesn't include any short free fiction that I might put out. If I'm gonna be serious about earning a living from writing, I need to be upping my output and giving people more to buy. 1. I did not manage to finish 'em. 2. A bit hard to measure this, so it's a resounding "not really". 3. More like gain another 10kg! Ha ha my diet went to poo poo. 4. Didn't manage this either. 5. Nope! Wow I am a loving mess. Goddamn you, 2016.

Zark the Damned posted:1. Keep track of what I buy / paint minis wise, and try to ensure the latter is higher. Possibly via some kind of blog. 1. Keeping track of purchase/painting has been successful (via a Google Sheet). Getting painting higher than purchasing less so, though mostly the purchasing has been smaller packs of figures that are pretty characterful rather than tons of plastic (with a couple of exceptions). 2. I got rid of a couple of things but still not had a thorough sort out yet, though I do have next week off so can give it a better shot. 3. Mixed. I lost some weight and have been keeping track of my diet but it hasn't gone as well as I'd have liked. Overall I'd give it maybe 50% success overall? Definitely something to keep working at.

gradenko_2000 posted:1. Don't flake out on any games. I've been slipping on my PbPs, but I'll reconnect after the holiday break 1. My 2016 PbP's still died, and I had to back out of my AD&D campaign mid-stream when the wedding prep starting catching up to me, but ... 2. ... I got to bring my 3rd Edition and 4th Edition games to a satisfying conclusion! 3, 4 and 5: Thank you to ScaryJen, Covok and Libertad! for introducing me to Vampire the Masquerade and Tenra Bansho Zero! Perhaps this still isn't hitting the "crunchy not-D&D" point all that well, but definitely VtM isn't magical fantasy, and they're on the light side. 6. Haha oops I still fell flat on this because one of the few non-D&D games I ran was Delta Green. All in all I'd say I hit about half my goals?

Er, well...looks like I forgot to make a resolution this past year? I might as well evaluate things by my failed resolutions from 2015, then. -Still no Fate hacks, though if anyone in the group runs on in the future it will definitely be me because the previous two GMs hadn't quite gotten it. But I did at least run a comedic game of Fantasy Age, which was similar in concept as a Loose-Run Game for the Party to Run Amok In.  -No "real job" yet, but I have finally finished with my degree and am looking for a career at this point. -Still haven't learned to whistle. -No Metroid Prime LP, but I ended up doing something different. So at least in terms of the previous year's goals, the general sentiment is that I fulfilled the spirit of the list but not quite the letter.

AlphaDog posted:TG: Hahaha, nope on all counts! 2016 has been a poo poo year. I did get to run some Inverse World online and it was great. Played two Dungeon World one-offs. Everyone I game with has ended up with conflicting schedules this year. Or moved away. Or has new kids. We're about halfway through Pamdemic Legacy. See above. Conflicting schedules. Didn't do any pbp here. Maybe this year. Hopefully this year. Injured a shoulder, a knee, and a foot at various points. Got pretty sick a couple of times too. So didn't lift heavy weights and didn't get to do much jiu jitsu. On the other hand, I did acquire an awesome dog who likes very long walks, so that's been at least keeping me moving. Pictured: Karl the dog, one of the few unequivocally good things to happen to me this year.

Alien Rope Burn posted:
Work actually goes on my RPG project, but it's not playtest-ready. But it's pretty close; the basic rules are about 90% complete, and I just need to finish the basics of character creation, add some more enemies and hazards, make some sample characters, and it'll be ready to test. I'm not as far along as I'd like to be but I'm pretty satisfied with my progress. That working title has to change, though. I did start a PbP game and it's ongoing. Circumstances kept me from fulfilling the last one but I've actually written F&F writeups for Rifts books beyond CJ Carella's material and then some, so I've done more work than I held myself to... it's just not posted yet. But it exists. Honest.

Cascade Jones posted:Games Games: 1. I posted more! Like maybe 10 or 15 times, so not as much as I wanted. And I didn't post at all in F&F, so that's half credit at most. 2. I stopped playing Pathfinder! Oh, and I'm running a monthly and a weekly group in Mongoose Traveller 2E. Feeling good on this one. 3. I got back into Battletech, Alpha Strike in particular, and got into the Firefly board game. Nailed it! Other: 1 and 2. I've got 50 books again (barely) and I forgot about refreshing Japanese again, so in this case:  3. According to my wife my meal planning and cooking have improved. Most happy about this! Not too shabby. Three and a half out of six!

potatocubed posted:I did pretty well last year! So I'll set the same target again: 1. I have completed... one project this year. Turns out it's way harder to get things done with a toddler than a newborn. 2. Nope. I have a great many photos of Little Miss, but most of them were taken by my parents. 3. Got back on. Fell off again. 4. Nope. Although it's looking good for the Spring Thing in April. So that's a big zero on 2016 resolutions.

Sion posted:1 - Continue to drink less booze! 2013 was a real hallmark year for this! Since then the waterline has dropped which is both a good and bad thing. Yes to all three. I ain't sobre but I'm certainly more stable than I once was. Played a pen and paper game for a while and want to do more of it. Helped run another goddamned megagame in Scotland. Good jobbe.

thespaceinvader posted:Lol, no you won't. Pretty much pulled it off. The benefits of low expectations  In more detail: did a bunch of x wing tournaments, had fun. Cosplayed at a con. Got a new job. Painted and modelled a bunch of stuff. Had a bit of a miserable start to the year but things have perked up.
