After doing the RPG Writer Workshop in November 2020 and producing Unsettled Ground on DMsGuild, I came into 2021 with grand plans to produce more. Those plans haven’t turned into outputs and it’s in part down to the usual “spinning too many plates” but it’s probably as much due to...

Onwards and upwards…
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...

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...

Favourite Inspiration For Your Game? Some of this goes back to the setting post as Dragonlance and Star Wars are my strongest influences in game plot development. What I’d add into that mix though would be a variety of other media associated with whichever genre of game I’m looking to...

So there were a few things I was looking for when at Gen Con that I didn’t buy largely because I actually didn’t find precisely what I wanted. Amongst that list was something I only realised I wanted after playing in the Atomic Robo. Mike was using what is called...

Charity fundraising…
Many many years ago (it was either 1991 or 1989, not sure) I took part in a 24 hour RPG event to raise money for Red Nose Day. Throughout the KoA days we had a modest but consistent charitable donation plan focussed around cancer charities such as MacMillan Cancer Support....

Conpulsion 2014 – The negatives.
This post has taken a wee bit longer than I had originally thought it would, in part because of “real life” but also I wanted to make sure I wasn’t just coming across as a moaner. No guarantees on that front though! Couple of scene settings comments before we leap...
