This year I added a new element to my monthly planning. I'm playing a signature historical event each month, and the collection will be another project by year-end. In today's episode I will count down 10 events you can replay on your tabletop this year. I also provide a recap of my recent tabletop experiences.

In today's episode I introduce a goal setting format known as OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) to show you one approach to goal setting in your tabletop project planning. I will also compare that to KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) to show how those can be used differently. I also provide a recap of my January Tabletop experience.

Today I take a closer look at a recently re-released game. Roller Rumble was one of the original Plaay titles, but was shelved a few years ago as they worked on rebranding it for Plaay Now. It finally returned in Fall 2022, and I'll discuss what you get with the game, and my initial thoughts on it. Also, I recap a recent event from my Tabletop where I replayed the 1st ever Royal Rumble from 1988. It's a rumbled themed show for #99!
