  • Writing Considerations – October 2015

    I’ve been really busy these last few weeks, with one thing or the other. Much of it has been spent organising gaming stuff, but the majority has been trying to make a reputation for myself as a freelance writer/developer. I’ve recently indexed three supplements, and although it’s not “creative” it does encourage a certain amount…

  • Restless

    I’ve been contending with a certain amount of restlessness recently. I’m sleeping better, and my stress levels are pretty low. My general health is good although I’m suffering from allergy-induced eczema which is driving me a little crazy right now. I’ve been at a bit of a loss to explain why I’m so restless, but…

  • Edinburgh Geekdom Web Portal

    Edinburgh Geekdom is an idea I’ve had but will probably never implement. There’s a huge amount of work required and to keep on top of things requires more time and resources than I can deal with. I already maintain the Edinburgh Gaming page, and for now it’s a project placed on the back-burner. What is/was the idea of…

  • 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…

  • Her Serenity’s Agent – The Mutant Chronicles

    First off, a big thanks you to The Adventuring Party podcast team who played in my Mutant Chronicles game at Q-CON! Thanks for the mention on your podcast recently (I’m mentioned on it at 15:06 minutes)! I’m glad you guys enjoyed it! You can find the podcast (and others they’ve done) here. As a Modiphius Silvershield, I’ve…

  • Procrastinating timey-wimey stuff

    I’m going to be pretty candid with myself here. I think I’m largely failing right now as a writer, or even game designer. This doesn’t really upset me, as I can pretty much pinpoint the cause of my failure to get on with any writing – now that I know what the reason is! Ultimately: it’s all timey-wimey…

  • Surviving the UK Games Expo! And Mutant: Year 0

    I got back from the UK Games Expo last Monday. It’s quite an experience if you’ve never been and something every gamer should try. I’ll try and break down my experiences by day. Thursday Thursday did not start well, but not the fault of theExpo. I repacked my case again, so the books wouldn’t roll…

  • UK Games Expo 2015 – Preparation

    I’ve been doing quite a bit of work prepping for the 2015 UK Games Expo in Birmingham (at the NEC) later on this week. I’ve offered to help the Modiphius team with the setup and will be running some demo games, so will be heading down on Thursday afternoon. Luckily, it’s not far from the station to…

  • Evolution of a Gaming Site & the Dark Side

    When I began writing this post become something far different than I’d envisaged. Then I realised: it’s May the 6th – May the Sith be with you. Welcome to the Dark Side. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory.…

  • UK Games Expo 2015 – Prepping “like a boss”

    So far there’s a lot going on for me at the UK Games Expo 2015 (and Q-CON a few weeks later!). I’ve volunteered to help out the folks at Modiphius Entertainment with set-up on the Thursday night and to run some demo games. The demo games will likely be on the Friday and Sunday, although they’ll…
