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,...

Horror in the Highlands – A Call of Cthulhu Scenario
On Friday 23rd February 1722, something horrible happened in Moy. It is almost Friday 23rd February 1923, and Moy will once again experience something horrible. The Bodach Glas has come. There will be Horror in the Highlands. After writing The Oxford Articles (now a Silver seller on DriveThruRPG!), I decided to go back...
Continue reading...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. That expectation became reality fairly...
Continue reading...AlbaCon 2021 is soon!
Last year AlbaCon raised over £3,100 for a Scottish charity, specifically for It’s Good 2 Give who provide amazing support to young cancer patients and their families. Ahead of last year’s event we had no idea whether people would come or indeed if people would pay to play RPGs....

I started 2021 with a few notions in the back of my head about what I wanted to achieve this year I referred to some of those in my end of 2020 post. Mostly my hobby goal is to enjoy my hobby as much as I can whilst also introducing...
Continue reading...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...

So as ever I’ve not posted here for some time. Why now? Well this remains my primary “brain dump” source for what’s going through my head hobby wise. I do brain dumps less and less these days because I have a number of other channels in which to do that...

So I probably should have posted about this a long time ago but other things took priority. This Saturday (14th October) I am running a RPG at #RPGLiveUK which is a RPG mini-con being held in The Dice Cup in Nottingham. There are 4 games currently on offer and tickets...
