Off to Jupiter

This year has been, gaming-wise, a great year.

Firstly, I started blogging this year.

We began our GURPS 4e campaign in March, and ended in July.

We did some one-shot Pathfinder games in August-November, and officially started our campaign this month.

I bought or was given:

Various gaming apps,

The Pathfinder Inner Sea World Guide,

The Pathfinder Bestiary,

The DC Universe Role-playing Game

Many, many free games,

The Pathfinder Core Rulebook,

The Chessex Pound O' Dice,

 and two Chessex Dice Sets.

I'll review some of those items soon.

Not to be sappy, but this year also initiated my entrance into this great community of fellow bloggers, gamers, and general ruffians.

Overall, an awesome year.

Happy New Year's!

This is Off to Jupiter's 100th post! Thank you, readers, commenters, and contributors. It means a lot to me and I enjoy our daily arguments, rants, and observances. *grin* I'd like to show some statistics and notes on the blog's history.

Off to Jupiter has been up since May 2011.

The month with the least was this past November, with a vapid four posts. This equates to an average of 0.13 posts a day.

The month with the most hits was August 2011, with 1, 553 views.

There has been 9 polls in Off to Jupiter's 8 months.

Off to Jupiter's very first post was about a new wave of DC Universe Classic action figures.

The first post with a comment was about a new GURPS supplement. Thanks, Tim!

On July 26, 2011 I won the Newbie Blogger Award. Once again, thanks, Tim!

On October 14, 2011 I started to do PhotoShop Fridays.

Thanks, everyone. Merry Christmas, and Happy Hannukah and what have you.

I'll be gone for about a week. Apologies in advance if I don't respond to comments or anything like that.

So, inspired by Jeffs Gameblog, Knights Of The Black Banner, and Gothridge Manor, I've decided to start a weekly post, called...Photoshop Fridays. These will showcase my Photoshop projects, and are around for two reasons. One, to have a weekly post, so I'll have a dependable posting schedule. Two, because the blogosphere could comment with compliments/criticism, thereby increasing my PhotoShop skill. (Hopefully) With that, I bring you...The Dark Tower.

This week's question was....

Would you purchase a Pathfinder bestiary containing around 25 monsters and selling for around $10?

Off to Jupiter's poll closed today, and I learned that you, my appreciated readers, prefer to play tall characters in RPGs, rather than Dwarves, Halflings, and the like. Why?

Just wanted to post and say I won't be online for the next five days, starting tomorrow.  Why? It's classified. I'm not supposed to talk about it. But it involves expensive tuxedos, futuristic gadgets, and shaken drinks. Not stirred.
