2025 - A Year in Review (Saturday Review)

As another year draws to a close, it's time to pause, look back,
and take stock. As has become something of a tradition, this
article shares with you my 2025 gameplay experience, some stats
about the blog, my event attendance, a summary of the blog's
finances and a brief look ahead to 2026. It's as much for my own
record as it is for anyone who wants to know more about what 2025
has been like for me and the blog. Just don't expect any grand
conclusions or dramatic discussions.
