Thanks as always, Terry! I know you count campaigns as a single release and am not arguing with that, but just wanted to point out that if you take DCE and RotB2 as individual missions, you more than double the T2 count for last year, which is awesome! Also, I can't wait to see the T1G count this time next year, I predict double digits thanks to the T1 20th Anniversary contest. :D

With nearly 20 authors having declared their intent to participate, there's even a possibility that there will be more T1 missions next year than T2 missions, the first time that would have happened since 2000.

This is always a very cool and interesting stat. Thank you for doing this, Ricebug! :D

Speaking about campaigns...
Apart from "Death's Cold Embrace" and "The Rebellion of the Builder 2", which were the heavy hitters, there were actually some more in 2017:
Let's not forget the brilliant "Godbreaker" from January with 4 missions: ((

In July Christine made her comeback with "Rabenbach / Raven Creek" - a two mission micro-campaign, if you will.
And Cardia's "FTE life" also consisted of two related missions.
But in 2016 we also had some:
Cardia released "Umbelina" - a two-parter in June 2016: (

The Keeper of Infinity 2 got a second part - Raven's Nest - which was combined with a reworked Part 1 (but got two forum posts):
Part 1 - Bad Venture: (

And then there is the "Strife Campaign" by a certain "Ricebug" which got a re-release for New Dark.

This sloppy fellow apparently has to do some maintenance on his webpage (broken download link)! ;)
The and we could ask Ri... ahem... Terry if he counted the release in 2016 or not...
This is still less than in 2017 - so yeah, it was a better year for releases - but the gap closes a bit, depending on how you count.
(Pardon me if I have swept anything under the rug!)

As for 2018 and Thief Gold I for one hope that "Thief: The Black Parade" will be finished... ((

That's very unlikely since everybody who's on the Black Parade team is taking this year to work on Contest entries, but I still call that a Win.

@Calibrator: Thanks for pointing that out. I fixed the link.
@Yandros: Yes, it's unfortunate that large campaigns only count as "one" mission. But, the authors argued back and forth about it and settled for what we have now. I may do a separate slide to highlight the issue. Personally, I find it difficult to stack an FM that took 2 weeks to create against a campaign that was years in the making.
Yandros on 2/1/2018 at 14:09
I wouldn't worry about doing that, I just wanted to point it out. We already had the discussion in TEG last year and I think most people (myself included) agree with how you are doing it/have done it all along.
