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,...

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.

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...
