Farewell to the old, in with the new for 2022
Sadly the Modiphius run of the Mutant Chronicles license is ending. It’s a pity but all good things come to an end. I’ve worked on various parts of the line. I had a few more bits and pieces I’d like to have seen published, but that’s just how it goes. Here’s the full announcement In…
2019 – Looking Forward, Not Back
In the past I’ve looked back on the previous year’s events, and made a few observations about the previous year, etc. I’m not doing so much of that this time: I’ve been pretty busy over the last few months, and haven’t really had much time to game – as a GM or player. I have…
A Year in Gaming – A Review of 2018
I think it’s correct this last year has been something of a roller-coaster. There’s been a lot of ups and downs for me personally, and it is safe to say I’m very much in a better place – literally – than earlier this year. I moved out from my flat in Albert Street, which is…
Breaking Radio Silence!
It’s been a bit quiet on here recently. There’s a lot of reasons for this. The main reason is the lack of time, but there’s another contributing factor: I’ve had to slow down a little. So what’s eating my time? Put simply, work is largely responsible along with poor health and trying to do too…
RPG Retrospective – 2016
I have mixed feelings about 2016. I reckon everybody has now. I’ve had a load of setbacks, but have also upped my “game” this year considerably. Not all of these setbacks were gaming related, but they impacted on both myself and my gaming nonetheless. I made the official jump to being a freelancer last December (as…
ORC Edinburgh: Moving On
ORC Edinburgh (Open Roleplaying Community Edinburgh) is the RPG community website I’ve been running for several years. It has been a challenge. The RPG scene in Edinburgh has grown exponentially, along with other tabletop games. Over the last few months, I’ve realised I can’t keep track of the various games and groups, not to mention…
A Silent Spring!
It’s been pretty quiet here recently. There’s a number of reasons for this, and I’ll come to them shortly: it’s a mixture of good and bad news. Simply put: I’d had a lot of plans but some are going to have to take a back seat. I’ll be attending the UK Games Expo and Dragonmeet conventions this…
Open Games Day 2016
As de facto High Heid Yin for the Open Roleplaying Community (ORC Edinburgh), I thought I’d mention we decided to try and get more folk in to play RPGs. We’re open to anyone who wants to play RPGs in Edinburgh, but not everyone can get into a game. Also a number of GMs would like…
RPG Retrospective – 2015
As has become the tradition, this RPG Retrospective looks back over my gaming year. It’s been one hell of a year for me. ORC Edinburgh After a management change at the Peartree lead to the possibility of being charged to play, ORC Edinburgh moved to the Kilderkin pub on the Royal Mile. It’s been a…
