After almost 10 years of blogging over at Blogger, I’ve decided to migrate the blog to here. All of my previous posts have been imported and everything seems to be ok. I suspect there might still be some errant links that push you back to the Blogger page but as...

More than one new thing for 2023.
I teased a new project for 2023, this isn’t that post. This post is about other new stuff that I’m doing in 2023. First up. I should be releasing my first Fear Itself adventure under the Pelgrane Press Community Content Programme in January. “Only way out, is up” is almost...
Continue reading...2022, now that was a year.
It’s been a year of mixed fortunes, and one I’m both glad and sad to have ended. Gaming highlights: I went to UK Games Expo, Gen Con, hosted Tabletop Scotland, ran lots of games, published Horror in the Highlands, got back into board gaming at East Neuk Tabletop, and went...

My Tabletop Scotland 2022
With the last Tabletop Scotland event being held in 2019 I had a feeling of apprehension coming into this year’s event. Not about attendance levels. Our pre-sales had blown the doors off 2019’s pre-sales. Not about whether people would have fun. Put gamers in front of games and that’s largely...
Continue reading...Days and Weeks
This time next week I’ll be at Gen Con. Fly out on the morning of Tuesday 2nd August and then get home again on the 9th. Plus it’s less just over 4 weeks to Tabletop Scotland 2022. As I said in my previous post, I’m more than a little bit...

Gen Con 2022 Event Booking
As I said in my recent post, I’m looking forward to Gen Con 2022. Flights, accommodation, tickets etc are all sorted. So the next step is to work out what I’m going to be doing for my best 4 days in gaming. Gen Con event booking is different to most conventions,...

So, as with many things, attending conventions in 2022 have an element of hesitation about them. Many of us who go to multiple conventions per year can’t wait to get back to visiting them, whilst at the same time we’re all maybe a little bit apprehensive. So when this year...

Horror in the Highlands – A Call of Cthulhu Scenario
On Friday 23rd February 1722, something horrible happened in Moy. It is almost Friday 23rd February 1923, and Moy will once again experience something horrible. The Bodach Glas has come. There will be Horror in the Highlands. After writing The Oxford Articles (now a Silver seller on DriveThruRPG!), I decided to go back...

Ten Years
You know, if you said to me 10 years ago that I’d go on to do what I’ve done within the tabletop hobby I would have thought you were nuts. I mean, I didn’t join the army nor have I become a professional hitman but it’s definitely been a life...

More RPGing + Board Games on the horizon?
2021 was a year of more roleplaying, 2022 looks similar but with regular board gaming hopefully on the horizon. I came into 2021 with a reasonable expectation that unless there was a significant improvement in all things COVID, I would continue to game exclusively online. That expectation became reality fairly...
