So a month or so ago I posted about what I saw as my Hobby Objectives at that time. Let’s do a checkpoint – Sustainable and regular gaming. Big success here as I think I’ve managed to go to the games club every Friday for 4 weeks in a row...

GenCon UK
In my planning and thinking about going to GenCon in Indianapolis next year I’m reminded of having attended 3 different GenCon UKs over the years. There is no real comparison between GenCon Indy and GenCon UK. Other than it’s all formats tabletop gaming in 1 venue for a 4 day...

I had planned to be kicking off a Star Wars EotE game by now but due to a number of factors that hasn’t happened. So for October what I want to do is complete character creation likely using this fabulous character generator (and so much more) created by OggDude on...

Continue reading...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...
Continue reading...Horror & Me
So it’s Friday the 13th and other than trying to make sure nothing disastrous strikes today I also wanted to touch on Horror in games and my views on it. As a genre Horror covers a multitude of things whether that be the splat fest of a slasher movie to...
