Mysteries of Montreal

Another bumper year of gaming, with 93 sessions over the last 52 weeks, 30 as a GM, 63 as a player.  A few gaming highlights were playing Legend of the 5 Rings (1e) with John Wick as GM in January (that's a post of its own). 2024 was of course a NecronomiCon year, which brought a bunch of Highlights (I'm going to call out 2 games with Oscar Rios as the games that have stuck with me). This was also the year when I started to run Masks of Nyarlathotep again, and getting through 2 chapters, plus a couple of self insert mini chapters was also fun, however, since there is a new prologue chapter of the campaign, I am yet to reach mu own high tide mark for running that campaign (London), but we are a total of 18 sessions in all so far, with more to come in the new year.  Special mentions also to Ten Candles, Heirs to Heresy and Deathmatch Island as games that I really want to play/run again. Now, on to the facts and figures. Games Played Games Ran In that selection of games for 2024...

 RPD a Day: day 3, Most often played game? Why is the often in bold? Is that to take emphasis away from the word played? Does a GM count as a player? If so, then the answer is by far Call of Cthulhu. Hands down, over the last few years since I got back into RPGs steadily in 2017, I've ran more Call of Cthulhu than any other game (over a hundred sessions), and I've ran more games than I've played. Now, if the word played is taken to mean only games where I am rolling the bones in front of the screen, then we need to go to the stats. These are not all games played in the last few years, but only the top hitters. Surprising me, is that both Heirs to Heresy and DCC beat out call of Cthulhu. Mothership also makes a good show for itself. 5e is up there in third, mostly due to playing through the Witchlight campaign. Numenera is in second place with a stunning 51 sessions played, and still going, but I'm very happy that top place goes to The One Ring, due to the masterful Dark...
