I feel like most of the title should be in sarcastic air quotes .Well, it has certainly been a year, hasn't it?
With the pandemic, the transition to working from home started in March, and saw me lose out on basically all of my hobby/fun space in the apartment as time went on. Though I did keep after some small hobby projects well into the summer, (and will have some catch-up posts eventually,) this lack of space largely put the damper on any additional significant hobbying this year.
Additionally, I got zero games in this year, which is a terrible record, even for me! With the return of Easy Army I was stoked, and earlier in the year I was making some inroads with folks to try for more regular games, with the new edition and all. Unfortunately, the pandemic quashed that, and the girlfriend didn't want to unwind with any wargaming at all during all this social distancing either. I don't typically have hours at a time uninterrupted, so Universal Battle games have eluded me as well.
Unsurprisingly, no games and no hobbying resulted in very little blogging as the year progressed.
Looking to 2021 though, there could be good things coming... if the pandemic gets more under control here in the US. In the fall, an old WHFB player from the shop decided to start on an Abyssal Dwarf army, and I've been in contact with him already. And with various progeny being older now, some other friends were also thinking of dusting off old armies and playing more games occasionally. Here's to hoping I can get a game of 3rd in before 4th Edition drops!
I've dodged the worst of 2020 (still employed, pretty healthy and pretty happy here), but it has been an incredibly rough year for many. I hope this quick update finds you well. Hopefully 2021 will see us all gaming again swiftly!
