Spoiler alert: if you plan to play The Evils of Illmire, don't read this! Leaving behind the mysteries of the town of Illmire for now our party head out to the Old Watchtower on a warm, muggy spring day; acting on Lord Crellmont's information, they seek Sergeant Wilfret who is stationed at the watchtower and … Continue reading Evils of Illmire: The Old Watchtower
Spoiler alert: if you plan to play The Evils of Illmire, don't read this! Inn of the Weary Wagoner From the outside the Inn of the Weary Wagoner is mostly unremarkable, a two story stone building that screams "come and get your average ale and food here". The interior is less appealing still, dark and … Continue reading The Illness of Illmire
Spoiler alert: if you plan to play The Evils of Illmire, don't read this! It's been a while since I have written game reports; the last was Better Than Any Man for LotFP which finished in 2018. I've run plenty of games since then, but just not had the inclination to write session reports. This … Continue reading The Evils of Illmire Session Zero
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
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

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

In the lead up to the event I was delighted by the response of gamers on Twitter, with plenty of GM's … Continue reading BurritoCon3 been and gone
A week after the event I write this with tears in my eye, tears of joy for Expo was truly awesome, and a tear of sadness now that it is over. Friends, games, food, beer and a single game of footy made it a weekend of epic proportions. Just how did it go down? Thursday … Continue reading UK Games Expo 2019
You know you have those weekends, the special ones, the ones you look forward to for weeks or even months in advance. Maybe it's to celebrate a big life event, a break away with the family, or a gaming weekend (especially gaming weekends!). Whether it's a one day con or a whole weekend like UK … Continue reading One Weekend to Rule them all
This small, friendly con is my first in 2019 and holds a special place; it was the first RPG con I ever attended two years ago now, and the first time I met some of the great gamers I enjoy playing with still. As the first con of the year I like to think it … Continue reading Convergence 2019
