And we’re back…
At least for now. I’ve kinda drifted away from the blog for a while. I’d say it’s been the best part of a year since I really blogged anything of note. So why am I back? I suppose you could call it a checkpoint or perhaps something more fundamental than...

RPG A Day 2015 – Day Twelve
Favourite RPG Illustration……. Dang this is a hard one as there are so many to choose from! Easy answer would be anything by Larry Elmore but that’d probably be cheating although still accurate. Especially Elmore’s early work for D&D and his Dragonlance work. Overall though there’s been that much different...

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....

Battletech: Alpha Strike
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...

Introducing Tabletop Games to Kids
As part of my rediscovery of my hobby and in relation to one of my objectives that I’d posted previously one of the things I want to do is introduce my daughter to tabletop games. She’s about to turn 7 as I write this and tabletop games are nothing new...

Try something new
So, after trying something a little different and then trying to go with what I knew I could easily have opted for giving up or taking an extended break. But that’s really not what you do with a hobby that has been an integral part of your life now is...

Go with what you know
Now by “Go with what you know” I mean RPGs. *there’s a sequel to this post coming so bear with me if you’re someone I play with currently* It’s a safe option with me. Trouble was I didn’t want to just leap into a D&D Campaign or similar. I mean...

Something a little different
When you try to rediscover what drove you to enjoy your hobby many people go back to basics. I kinda did that but instead of going for my “comfort zone” of RPGs I decided to try a game I hadn’t played for 20 years or so. Battletech – http://bg.battletech.com/ Now I...
