Welcome to the Deathtrap: Year 4 in Review

I have been writing Welcome to the Deathtrap for four years! I can hardly believe it has been so long!

In the last year I've put out a couple of light games, like Drakken and Dragonette, I've nearly completed my complete edition of Deathtrap Lite, and have a couple of other rules light games in the works in my spare time. I haven't spent nearly as much time as I would have liked on reviews. I have a backlog of books I've read, or have almost finished readings, but haven't had much of an opportunity to review.

The ebb and flow of the 'blog has definitely reflected the good and bad times in my life. In the past year and a bit, I have partially lost use of my hands, feet, and lips, and developed chronic fatigue due to a brain injury, I've been forced to move once, and nearly had to do so a second time. I've lost 28 lbs. I've tried to go back to work, and found myself too ill to do so effectively. I've learned a new skillset, and I'm starting a business.

And I'm afraid that I haven't been able to give this blog and its amazing readers nearly as much time as I would like.It has been really edifying to see that I regularly come close to 20,000 views a month, despite being not nearly as productive this year then the three before it.

I have been playing a hell of a lot of the games that I do review:

• I have run a 20-session campaign in Fabula Ultima, and am starting a second.
• I ran an incredibly detailed solo campaign using Star Adventurer.
• I ran a 15-session campaign in White Star with regular updates here.
• I am currently running a solo game of Death in Space.
• I've played in a 50+ session campaign in Blueholme.
• And I've returned to Swords & Wizardry, which has definitely become my go-to OSR game.

 I am hoping, as life evens put a bit, I will be able to better thank you all for sticking with me.

In the meantime, I  have quite a few things in the pipeline,  among them my own Solo TTRPG  podcast in the vein of Tale of the Manticore and Legend of the Bones, with a gonzo twist, entitles Swords Against Madness. The first episode should be out in about a week.
