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...

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.

2020 huh. The year of the Critical Hit etc etc. It’s certainly going to be one for the history books for the saddest of reasons. The next few months are going to be really challenging for everyone and I hope you’re all keeping safe and staying well. I’d like to...

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...
