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…
Setting some goals – The Things To Do List!
Someone recently called me one of Edinburgh’s gaming celebrities. I’m kind of amused by that: I certainly don’t consider myself that way! Yes, I run a blog and may be fairly well-known around town, and I do try and keep the various gaming communities in the loop. I see myself as fulfilling more of a function…
Conpulsion 2015 – Games I’m Running
As some of you may know I’m running a few games at Edinburgh’s Conpulsion 2015. This is Scotland’s biggest gaming convention, and I’m ashamed to say I’ve never been. I’ve got some great news – thanks to Red Scar Publishing‘s Marc Langworthy (a fellow blogger, writer and convention survivor), I’m running a playtest of the…
The Art Stop: A New Edinburgh Art & Games Workshop Hobby Stockist
As well as the other hobby stockists, and places like the Games Hub, and 6s2Hit I try and keep my Edinburgh Gaming page up to date with stuff that might be of interest to Edinburgh Gamers. So I was bit surprised when I received an email from Games Workshop’s Trade Developer for Scotland and the…

It’s basically about the places I’ve gamed and some of my experiences at these places, and what I’d prefer to have in a venue. I’m pretty certain that some folk will empathise with…
RPG Retrospective 2014
Another “Year in Gaming” post! This time it’s the RPG Retrospective 2014! Almost as traditional as turkey, but possibly not as dry. This is my annual look at my gaming experiences over the year. As always, these views are my own and may be the result of my own warped perceptions. This year was very…
RPG retrospective 2013
RPG retrospective 2013 is the latest in what has become something of an annual tradition for me. I’ve let the GMs and players over at ORC speak for themselves on the ORC website, but its been quite a year for me. Personal achievements I’ve not written so much on this blog this year, as to…
Legacy of Praag – WFRP encounter
Legacy of Praag is a short encounter designed for a holdover game of WFRP that should take a session. It can be run in downtime when PCs may be training or healing up. Although it was set in Weissbruck, it could have easily been set elsewhere in the Warhammer World. If you’re a WFRP GM…
Running Shadows over Bogenhafen (WFRP) Summary
I finished running Shadows over Bogenhafen for WFRP last weekend. The experience I had was interesting, to say the least. Although it was fun to run, there are some significant flaws in the supplement and adventure. Although Mistaken Identity from the Enemy Within campaign book is linear it provided quite a good way to get…
