Listmas 2021: Tabletop Gaming
Tabletop Gaming, while never quite going away, is certainly seeing something of a renaissance. It's been happening since the last half of the previous decade, but quarantines have seen it boost even higher through both family activities and online programs such as Tabletop Simulator.
Some readers may remember that I used to be involved with a community gaming day. This fell apart around the time other things in my life were, and after a falling out with that group in general I am looking for a new community to join. But I will always thank those people for helping me by either introducing me to or rekindling an old passion for many of the games on these lists. While it has been and continues to be difficult, I am eager to make new fond memories playing these games.

Listmas 2021: Top 5 Lists I'm NOT Doing This Year
Welcome to Listmas 2021, my experiment to see if I can handle semi-regular updates. I plan on posting one of these every other day, then slowing back down to a couple a month if I have something to say.
Here's how we do things here. My lists come in two flavors: Top 11 and Multiples of 5. I find Top 11 to be vastly superior to Top 10, the one and only worthwhile contribution Doug Walker ever gave society (told you some of my older posts would age like buttermilk). But sometimes I have far more or far less so I otherwise keep it to Multiples of 5.
Some lists will just be lists from top to bottom with no further explanation. Other times when I have more to say and want to indulge in some dramatic tension, I'll go for a more countdown-oriented model. Some posts will be several lists surrounding a topic and other posts will focus on just one.
Today's list will be a single short countdown: The Top 5 Lists I'm NOT Doing This Year

The Twelve Lists of Listmas
Plus, I'd like to keep up for posterity how things have changed, even if its as minuscule as slight reordering.

After Over a Month of Nothing, Hey! Post-A-Day!
What I won't have this year is a standard Halloween entry, since due to budget and time concerns I'm just pulling my Vader suit out, and it's like - who hasn't seen that?
I'll also be stepping outside my comfort zone a bit this week, so be prepared.
Lastly, this December I'm bringing back my Listmas thing from my early days, to simply update based on new material and changing opinions.
Watch this space.

My list of Top Star Wars Characters? My Order of Preferred Films? The ones I've referenced in dozens of articles? The things I was set on?
Well, I'm changing them!
That's right! I've changed my mind about how certain things are ordered in these lists! Bet you never expected THAT!
