Since my last post I’ve done a few things. Running & Playing Ran session two of Midnight Sub Rosa for Pelgrane Press’ Trail of Cthulhu. As someone who likes a visual reference both as a GM and a player I decided to make a “map” of sorts for one of the...

DMing Lost Mine of Phandelver
So I’ve finally got round to running a game of Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. Specifically I’ve started running Lost Mine of Phandelver. This is the scenario that comes with the Starter Set and I’ve chosen it for a number of reasons. None of the players have played it. It’s...

Sentinels Of The Multiverse: Campaign Game
Another one of those games that I’ve blogged about on here on a few occasions is Sentinels. Seeing that someone was running a 3-part scenario driven game of this at Gen Con I knew that I had to play in it. The linkage between the scenarios was light so that...

Atomic Robo RPG At Gen Con!
So as you may have gathered from previous posts I’m a bit of an Atomic Robo fanboy. Perhaps you can imagine my fanboyness reaching exponential levels when +Liz Mackie and I played in a game of Atomic Robo run by +Mike Olson who only went and wrote the game! Ok so I think I...

Alpha Strike After Thoughts
So on Friday 10th January I played Alpha Strike for the first time. Tonight I expect to play it for the second time. What worked? I bought it on the premise of it being a simplified and distilled rule set that enabled me to play Battletech on a Friday night....

Cursed Item Horror Stories
As I’ve posted previously me and horror don’t really work that well together and given that this post is going out on Halloween I felt I should post something with the word Horror in the title. This post could so easily have been about horror stories of games that have...

Character Creation: Edge of the Empire
So we recently went through character creation for EotE and I really felt this was one of the easiest and most interactive character creation processes I’ve ever taken part in. To set the scene – I’ve got about 9 people interested in playing and that number might increase so looks...

Seasons is a game of layers.
Not that long ago I picked up a copy of Seasons. I picked it up on a whim really, I knew of it but only that there had been positive noises on the internet. Plus the box had the typical Asmodee approach of “lets use lots of colours to dazzle...

Lords Of Waterdeep
I picked up Lords Of Waterdeep on a recent visit to my FLGS. I had planned to buy it when it first came out but it was too early in my journey into the 2nd Chapter so I ruled it out. When I learned that the expansion Scoundrels of Skullport was...
