New this month: There was discussion on RPanons about how modern games stack up, activity-wise, to older games. Lacking detailed data, I looked at many tags a game averaged over its lifespan and compared 29 closed games to dozens of current games. That's on a new tab on the sheet! If you'd like me to add a closed game, just reply with their username.

New games that got their first or second data entry this month:
- Serendipity
- The Dark Fields
- The Return Journey
- Reparacija (characters accepted, starting this month)
- The Quiet Year (characters accepted, starting this month)
