I should have done this post on April the 13th itself but unfortunately it’s taken til now for me to get around to it! So on Sunday April the 13th, Alan (+donjondo) and I hosted the first of hopefully many events under the banner of East Neuk Tabletop Games. So how...

March Madness – Non-D&D OSR Blog Challenge (Part 3 of 3)
Definitely cheating this time as I’m writing this before the end of March, at least I’m posting it on the 31st though! 21 What is the narrowest genre RPG you have ever played? How was it?I don’t think I’ve ever played an RPG that was so narrow in genre… Cold...

Continuing the March Madness! 11 What post-apocalyptic RPG have you enjoyed most? Why?This is a tough one. I’m a fan of Gamma World but whilst I think it’s fun it wasn’t my favourite to read. I think ultimately I’d probably choose The End by Tyranny Games. Quite the controversial little...

Continuing on from the D&D posts I’m now leaping into the non-D&D posts! This challenge stems from the blog Tomb of Tedankhamen and was supposed to be a March daily posting challenge. As with the February one I’m chunking this up into 3 posts of 10 (well 10, 10 and 11)....

A continuation from the previous post of what was supposed to be a Daily Posting challenge for February. Day 15: What was the first edition you didn’t enjoy. Why?AD&D 2nd Edition. Multiple reasons. I bought it when I wasn’t really gaming and tried to use it to reinvigorate my hobby....

So I totally missed this (and the follow up which will be subsequent posts!). The D&D 40th Anniversary Blog Hop Challenge was (from what I can see) set up by Stelios V. Perdious who is the author of the d20 Dark Ages blog. The intent of this challenge was to...

Way way back at the beginning of this blog I posted about Battletech. As I said back then I tried playing the full (well Introductory Set) rules and it didn’t quite work for me. That aside the universe and the idea of playing with giant robot mechs (I’m a boy after...

2013 Retrospective
This has been a bizarre year in many respects and I’m not just talking gaming wise. I’ve changed job twice since the beginning of the year and that brought with it some challenges around my free time, particularly of late.I started this blog which when I set out to do...

Navigating the Barriers
Whilst perusing the blogosphere lately I’ve either struck on a pattern forming or at very least I’ve found some blog posts that resonate with where my head is at with the hobby. It’s probably the latter really and the nature of my Google-fu. Over on Plaid Hat Games there was...

Off the rails.
So it looks like I’ve underestimated the challenge in maintaining this blog on a daily basis. Rather than promising to overcome the challenge I’ve decided to pull back from the daily post commitment and at least for now keep the posts to when I can make them. I have plenty...
