Reply To: Hobby Pledges 2025

I don’t remember making any pledges for 2024, if I did, I almost certainly didn’t complete them.  Anyway, maybe 2025 is the year I try to get my hobby under some control rather than the ‘scattergun’ approach I normally follow.

So, this year I plan to do the following if I can.

• Finish off my 15mm Ancient India army and finally mark that project as complete at the very least.  If possible, look over some of my other projects and get those marked as complete to reduce the number of active projects I have.
• Put some effort into some sort of Pirate game, possibly Blood and Plunder or something else.  In any case, I have a lot of figures and ships that I need to assemble and paint.  Most likely do some terrain to go with it.
• Re-home lots of my terrain builds to free up some space and unclutter my mind.
• Paint more than I buy or produce.  That goes for figures and terrain and update my stocktake project to bring it up to date.
• Put a restriction on spending so that I can only spend money I generate through clearing out other projects and commission works.  No dipping into my wages for new toys.  I have boxes upon boxes of untouched stuff to keep me busy.
• Play more games with friends and family.
• Play some of the board games in our collection that have never been played.
• Avoid looking at Kickstarter and becoming a sucker for FOMO.

Pretty sure I will not complete even half of that, but I will do my best to try to stay on track.
