Are you addicted to achievements? Do you treasure your trophies? Well then this is the place for you my friends; welcome to The Hunter's Lodge. Here we can boast about our earnings of the past month and plan for our next batch. This is a place where we can exchange advice and look for co-op partners. In short, it's anything and everything that a up and coming trophy or achievement hunter such as yourself could ever want.
The Hunter's Lodge is for any and all achievement or trophy hunters regardless of previous experience or platform of choice. I'll use psnprofiles.com to help me track things for trophies and I'll find a similar site for Xbox and Steam achievements if possible.
On top of all that, you can report your earnings through the month to me by the end of each month on these same posts, and I will spend part of each new month highlighting the most proficient hunter of the previous month, earning them the title of Top Dog. Since this is our first post and we don't have anyone else's information yet, here's some of mine to give you an idea of how it will all go.
Since this is an ongoing thing throughout the year, click the link below before you bookmark. That will make sure that your bookmark will always take you to the most recent Hunter's Lodge posts.

________ TOP DOG ________
_____________________________
This month's Top Dog is me (by default). I went into the month on a quiet streak when it comes to trophies, but finished the month with a total of 69 trophies earned from a spread of six games. It started with a few bronze trophies from Injustice: Gods Among Us and continued when I mopped up some of the lingering trophies on Brutal Legend (including for beating the game on the hardest difficulty). That's when the month really fell into place though as I went on to get the Platinum trophies for both God Of War and God Of War II. Recently I moved on to both Shadow Of Mordor and Far Cry 4, both of which I hope to Platinum in January. That's 2 platinum, 8 gold, 35 silver and 74 bronze trophies this month for me.
I've also set up a leader board for all of us to see where we rank and track ourselves with. Check it out here at this link; there's a sample with my stats for December so you can see how it will work.

________ MY PLAN ________
_____________________________
My Plan for January is to wrap Far Cry 4 and then go for Shadow Of Mordor. Once complete, I will finish up my platinum in God Of War 3 and after that I'll try to finish up MGS: Ground Zeroes. If I manage to get all that done, then I'll go back to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance to try and finish the platinum and play through the DLC.
The only thing I have left in Far Cry 4 is the two co-op trophies; one is simply to take an outpost while playing as Hurk, and the other is to do a vehicle takedown from the passenger seat while the other player is driving. If anybody would care to help me out with those things, I'll gladly help with whatever FC4 trophies you need help with. To clarify, I'm playing on PS4.

Now that I've got my stuff out of the way, what are your trophy/achievement hunting plans? Be sure to comment regularly and update everyone on your progress throughout the month.
If anyone is seeking co-op or competitive help for hunting, please leave a comment below specifying the game, platform, and exactly what you're looking to accomplish.
Also feel free to ask for advice or help with any trophies or achievements that have you scratching your head.
