Merry Christmas 2025 and a Happy New Year

It’s the Christmas holidays here at dndatwork.com and we are taking a well earned break. Whether you are wrapped up inside from the cold or down the beach in the sunshine I hope you are having time off to relax. I also hope you got lots of gaming goodies in your stockings!

Having downtime like this can be a great time to reflect on the year gone and the year ahead. Given the scope of this blog, this can work for both gaming and work.

On the gaming side, I’ll be reflecting on my Weds night group our past campaigns and our current Mythic Bastionland game. Where will we be going next. What themes can I include. How can I be purposeful in my leadership of the group. For 40K, I want to consider the club that’s grown, how can I get more involved and what campaigns can I run for maximum engagement. I also want to think about how I can be a better player in the other games that I play in, making sure I support the DM and the players.

Most important to me are the gaming friendships that I’ve made over the years. I want to make sure that I look after these properly in the year to come.

On the work side I need to stay purposeful as a leader and make sure my staff and business are nurtured over the next 12 months. We have a fantastic culture and achieving growth while protecting that is going to be crucial.

So aside from stuffing my face with food and having fun with the kids in the surf, I’ll be giving a lot of thought to the above so that 2026 can be a fun and also productive year all round.

I also want to take a minute to thank all the loyal readers who keep coming back to this blog and reading my articles and to those who interact with my posts and thoughts on social media. I really appreciate the fact that you spend your precious time reading my thoughts. Thank you!

Merry Christmas 2025
