Writing goals for late 2017
Since I last blogged, things have been busy. I’ve had a lot on, and the day job has been fairly frenetic. So what’s been happening? My freelancer work has seen me doing indexes for a number of Modiphius core books: Infinity, Conan, and Star Trek Adventures (my name is front and centre in the credits!).…
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…
Damnation Dossier: The Heimburg Hellraisers
The Heimburg Hellraisers first appeared in the Cartel Tactical Centre fanzine for the Mutant Chronicles. I write a column called the Damnation Dossier for CTC, under the guise of the Serenity’s Agent 😉 Compiled by Her Serenity’s Agent Sir William Heron. CLASSIFICATION: Brickbat Lingerie Sirs. Upon my recent sojourn to Dark Eden during the Incident (see…
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…
Damnation Dossier: NPCs for the Mutant Chronicles
As I’ve been working on Mutants & Heretics as well as the Dark Eden campaign, I’ve been having fun stat’ting up NPCs for the Mutant Chronicles. Here’s a couple of new NPCs: Avena Reznik [NEMESIS] “The pin-up of CEN” as she is known in Luna PD (although not to her face), Avena is a detective,…
Taking a breather!
It’s almost the end of summer here in Edinburgh. The leaves are already coming off the trees, and the Festival is finally ending. After a rotten personal start to the year, things have – by and large – sorted themselves out. I’ve found it necessary to de-clutter, and got rid of some of my gaming…
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…
Great RPG clearout begins!
I’ve got a number of books in my collection that are either duplicates or are of no use to me, so I’ve decided to give them away. As with the Pathfinder give-away recently, I’d rather these went to a decent home, and someone made a donation to charity. Alternatively, trade me something. Some of these books…
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…
Got any book recommendations?
