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...

What, a post so soon? It’s Day 1 of 2021 but I’m not using that naming convention for these blog posts anymore. I mentioned in my end of year post about potentially publishing content for games other than D&D. Whilst doing some reading of the other Community Content Programmes on...

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...
