  • RPG retrospective 2012 – Edinburgh Gaming

    In what’s become something of an annual tradition, I’m taking a look back over the year in a RPG retrospective. By that, I mean to talk about stuff that happened over the last year in various RPGs I’ve been involved with over the year. And events at ORC Edinburgh of course. I’ve had little chance…

  • RPG plans for Summer 2012

    I’ve got quite a bit of things planned over the next few months, both on the site and at ORC Edinburgh. And its not just me: there’s a mini-campaign of the Dragon Age RPG kicking off, a Pathfinder game, a GURPS Swashbuckling Superhero game, as well as my own Marvel Super Heroes game. I’m also…

  • 2011 year end retrospective of ORC Edinburgh

    ORC Edinburgh has had an “interesting” year – in the same vein as “May you live interesting times!”. This has been my second year as defacto ORC webmaster (and general heid yin) for ORC Edinburgh. I’m going to try to create these reviews on an annual basis. The year started off in a neo-Ice Age with…

  • September break!

  • An ORC Horde

    As I recently posted on the ORC Edinburgh site and Facebook page, ORC has a lot of players and the site is the busiest I’ve seen it in a while. I find it a little ironic really that D&D is the most popular game, yet so few want to run it. With that in mind,…

  • ORC: Looking forward, looking back

    It is hard to believe that I’ve been maintaining the site at http://orcedinburgh.co.uk for over a year after taking stewardship from Dave @ KOA. I got my renewal reminder from the hosting company the other day. Hopefully I’ve managed to continue the same tradition of keeping the community open to all gamers in Edinburgh. The…

  • Crawling Chaos

    No, it’s not a reference to my flat or my mental state. It’s a reference to the HP Lovecraft creation known as Nyarlathotep. He/it is also mentioned in the Metallica song the The Thing that Should Not Be, which is about Innsmouth and the Deep Ones. With Halloween creeping closer, I’m getting back into the…

  • Road to Hell: Creating Arunstoun

    This early sunrise malarkey is really messing up my sleep patterns: I keep waking up at 5am. As a side effect, I appear to be having very vivid dreams: I’ve had some great ideas for a new location for Cthulhutech and Call of Cthulhu, as well as a short story or two. It’s a fictional…
