My November Gaming

 November didn’t feel like a strong month for learning games for me. However, when I looked at it, I realized that play testing games actually helped shore that up. 

I learned:

And My Tax

Dionysia: Soliloquy (playtest)

Jardin Japones

Caterpillars 

The Wandering Library 

Adventurous (playtest)

And here’s the thing. I don’t think play testing took the place of me learning other games. I think it would have been a fluff month otherwise. It was not a month for prioritizing gaming, which is how the end of the year tends to go.

And the non-playtest games were extremely light.  Heck, Caterpillars was the least interesting game I played this year and I played some games that were honestly broken.

The Wandering Library is a journaling RPG. I try and play at least one every November in order to honor NaNoWriMo. Compared to playing The Magus last year, the Wandering Library wasn’t as strong but I had fun.

Play testing can be stressful since there are dead lines and it can be confusing since they are games in process. But, yeah, it was rewarding this November.
