I GMed the second year of our DnD 5e campaign which runs every other week. We went through the official modules Waterdeep Dragonheist and then on to Dungeon of the Mad Mage. We are currently at the final battle of the 4th level of the dungeon. The heroes will be level 8 after the battle. It's just such a nice group and I am happy we manage to play for so long without any major breaks.
In my second group which is every other week alternating with the first one we had the GM drop out after a little over half a year mid campaign. I offered to run Pathfinder 2e for the first time and it went great. The party is level 5 now and close to the end of the small campaign I prepared. Maybe 2 or 3 more sessions to wrap up. I made up the campaign myself but set it in the world of Golarion. GMing Pathfinder was a blast and I highly prefer it over dnd now. It'll be my go to system once the mad mage campaign ends which might well be another 2 years. After my Pathfinder campaign ends another player will GM Storm King's Thunder which we already got characters for and began to play when I couldn't make prep work in time since GMing 2 groups is a lot for my schedule.
Lastly I began offering beginner one shots in Pathfinder 2e in my flgs and it's been absolutely awesome. People routinely buy PF books right there at the store after the session ends which is probably the biggest compliment. The beginner box is great for that.
I'm working on a proper dnd 5e beginner adventure similar to the Pathfinder box since the dnd sets aren't really beginner friendly at all nor do they have proper matirials at the ready.
All in all I had a fantastic RPG year. I hope things can keep going like this in the future.
