Website Update - 2024

19/08/2024 20:51

I was speaking to someone recently about something which I knew I had previously written about on the blog. Hopping onto the mobile website I couldn't find what I was looking for easily, either through tags, or through scanning the titles. Eventually after much scrolling and button pressing I found...

Happy 1st Birthday RPG Saturday

30/06/2024 20:53

RPG Saturday, the rpg meet-up I run in my local gaming store is reaching it's first birthday (or should that be first anniversary) in July 2024. It has been a slog, and a learning curve, and I have been very reliant on my local gaming store, OnTableTop, to provide me a venue but I have finally made...

Like a Swan

Sometimes people look at you and they think you are not up to much – they think you just sit and bob about on the water gracefully like a sawn, when in reality you are paddling like F**K under the water just to keep yourself upright and hopefully going in the right direction – Well that just about...

Life and Scheduling

14/11/2022 11:38

Sometimes Life throws things at you - and Life doesn't miss so when those things hit they hit hard. Life does this for a couple of reasons 1 to make you get off your backside and actually do all those things you promised yourself you were going to do 2 to make you stop and take a rest before you...

Kings of War 3 - Builder League - It Lives!

28/11/2021 16:37

Kings of War 3 - Builder League - It Lives! Kings of War 3rd Edition has now got some traction in the club and so I am dusting off the League (and my minis) and getting it up and running again. One of the reasons the league failed the last time was lack of games being played in a timely fashion. I...

Critical Errors

15/05/2021 18:26

Just a quick note to say that things were going well over here up until the point in time that my laptop (that I use every day) that I had all my work on crashed. I have been out of action for the past two weeks trying to resolve this issue. All those items I was working on recently are now lost to...

Lock-down update #3

04/09/2020 21:00

With Coronavirus still holding it's grip on the World, and there being no change in getting back to face-to-face gaming, especially in the short term, most groups and games have moved online where possible. I joined the online revolution following lock-down here in the UK and have enjoyed several...

Lock-down Update #2

13/07/2020 18:22

I am definitely craving social interaction. Webnode, whilst being free isn't the greatest web page generator out there (and I have come to this conclusion after using it for quite some time, and that conclusion is based on the fact I have coded previous iterations of my web site myself), but it is...

Lock-down Update #1

13/07/2020 18:19

As I write this it's been fourteen weeks since I last told about the beginning of the lock-down madness for me, and in total about fifteen weeks since this all began here in the UK (23rd March 2020). I have been working through this period so my free time is still at a premium, although with not...

It is 29th March 2020 and unless you have been living under a rock for the past couple of months, you will be well aware of the global pandemic of novel coronavirus (Covid-19) that has gripped the planet. With increasing country lock-downs, it is taking a toll on the social aspect of the tabletop...
