“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo."So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the … Continue reading The One Ring Roadtrip: Winterfilth 2020
There has been some confusion about signups, mostly caused by myself, so this post should clear things up. I'm keeping a master list of everyone who has said they want to attend, either as a player or GM - it's on a Google Sheet with lots of little ticks in different columns. In the past … Continue reading BurritoCon5 Goes Virtual Update

It'll probably come as no surprise that BurritoCon is going online. I'd really wanted to have a face to face event to get together with the amazing gamers who come along for RPG fun, while also supporting the excellent Fanboy 3 where we had planned to run the event (check out their new site, it's … Continue reading BurritoCon 5 Goes Virtual
It was no surprise to see Virtual Grogmeet at it's biggest and best yet this year, in part due to the cancellation of quite a few 'before coronavirus' cons, but mostly due to the great organisation of the hosts Dirk and Blythy and the great gamers who have come together to make this happen. Initially … Continue reading Virtual Grogmeet 2020
Ok, so I'm a bit late putting this out, but it's been one of those weeks. The weekend of 6-8 March saw the 4th outing of Convergence in Stockport and my 4th visit. As in previous years I only attended the Saturday, but I know many enjoy the full weekend experience. It's a great con … Continue reading Convergence 2020
It's becoming a bit of a thing now. BurritoCon is in its third year, bringing together brilliant RPG players with amazing RPG GMs for fantastic RPG games! And potentially Burritos. I've booked a load of tables at Fanboy Three for Saturday 1st August. The event will run from 10am to 6pm, with game slots of … Continue reading BurritoCon5 is a thing
Grognards in Tenby = Grogten. Not just ten Grognards hanging out somewhere; there were actually eight of us there, top gamers and good mates. The idea came together last year, I think inspired by The One Ring Roadtrip. I must have been raving on about it to my Barbarians of Lemuria group when @davepaters suggested … Continue reading Grogten 2020
Last year I set out my gaming plans for 2019 - they were ambitious but open to change, and for the most part I followed them, getting to cons and running most of the games I had planned to. The games I didn't get to run were Black Blade of the Demon King and World … Continue reading 2020 Gaming Plan
There are events you look forward to - a weekend break, Christmas, your best mates wedding, and they are nice. Then there are the epic events that dominate your thoughts for months in advance, a sense of excitement growing as the occasion draws near. Grogmeet is one of those events, occupying my RPG thoughts for … Continue reading Grogmeet 2019
