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...

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...

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...

Conventions (and ears) in 2022.
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...

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...

Last year AlbaCon raised over £3,100 for a Scottish charity, specifically for It’s Good 2 Give who provide amazing support to young cancer patients and their families. Ahead of last year’s event we had no idea whether people would come or indeed if people would pay to play RPGs....

Day 366 of Year 2020…
It has been 31 days since my last post and it also happens to be the last day of 2020. As far as leap years go, it has been a year full of challenge and no doubt many people will be keen for it to be over with as soon...

A look back at 2018 & 2019 and a look forward at 2020.
I skipped the whole of 2018 and 2019 from this blog and I feel kinda bad about that. Not hugely bad because both years were excellent in hobby terms but still kinda bad as I had plans for this thing. So how do I summarise the last 2 years in...

So as ever I’ve not posted here for some time. Why now? Well this remains my primary “brain dump” source for what’s going through my head hobby wise. I do brain dumps less and less these days because I have a number of other channels in which to do that...
