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
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
In preparation for this I was reading my review of 2018 - it showed a very busy game filled year. I'm pretty certain though that 2019 has been even busier, with more games, more cons, meeting more gamers, all great stuff. Once again Roll20 played a massive part in my gaming life, in fact apart … Continue reading 2019 Review
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
Now in its third year, DevaCon is the same small friendly con with a big heart held in the super posh Crowne Plaza in Chester. Stephanie McAlea has done a great job pulling the event together with everything you need for a full day of gaming in one place (ok, food and drink can be … Continue reading DevaCon 3
Warning: BTAM serious game ruining spoilers ahead! Caught in a desperate and bloody combat inside the main entrance to Goblin Hill, the Black Dogs are scrapping with half a dozen masked and unarmed cultist Burgerfriedensmiliz who stand between them and the huge iron doors that lead outside and to freedom. The alarm has been raised … Continue reading Better Than Any Man: The End and Closing Thoughts
Warning: BTAM spoilers ahead! Perhaps the aspect of BTAM I've enjoyed the most is how open it is - a true sandbox, but with a pressing time constraint (that Swedish Army isn't hanging around). Like all good sandboxes, it's never worth looking much more than a session ahead as the players can choose where to … Continue reading Better Than Any Man: Imminent Doom
Warning: BTAM spoilers ahead! Deep inside the Burgerfriedensmiliz headquarters, home to the Insect God cult, our heroes flee from a mob of enraged cultists. At the end of the last session they had arrived at a junction... to their right the corridor opened into a room with what appeared to be two stone benches, at … Continue reading Better Than Any Man: The Battle for Goblin Hill
Warning: BTAM spoilers ahead! The Black Dogs have been standing on the edge of a cesspit, walls crawling with maggots, and flies swarming around since our last session towards the end of 2018. Human waste rains down nearby from a shaft leading to a toilet and entrance into the Burgerfriedensmiliz HeadQuarter... all they have to … Continue reading Better Than Any Man: The Toilet Gambit
At the conclusion of a highly satisfying 2018 of RPGing, it's time to give some thought to the next 365 days. Like all good agile plans this is likely to change and I'm quite happy to accomodate quite a bit of feature creep... Conventions Convergence (1st-3rd March, Stockport) - I'll probably only attend on the … Continue reading 2019 The Big Plan
