  • Running Greenest in Flames – Hoard of the Dragon Queen, Part 2

    Chapter 1: Greenest in Flames First a bit of background info – the first chapter of Hoard of the Dragon Queen sees the party arriving in Greenest in time to see the Cult of the Dragon and their allies attack the town. I’ve made the town affiliated with the Caravan city Scornubel, which is itself…

  • Hoard of the Dragon Queen – Part 1 – Preparation

    Prepping and running “Hoard of the Dragon Queen,”, the first part of Tyranny of Dragons took a bit of work on my part. The campaign itself has been reviewed elsewhere on the web, so I’m not really going to comment on the actual module itself, just what I did to make things workable for me,…

  • Gearing up for 2015 Conventions!

    So, sadly I’ve bit behind on my writing and other projects. I’ve finally started the Tyranny of Dragons D&D 5e campaign, so expect to see some posts about that soon. I plan to try and blog about each chapter as I go. I’m also in the last day of WFRP’s “The Power behind the Throne,”…

  • D&D 5e Demo Games: Edinburgh

    D&D 5e (Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition) came out in July with both the Starter Pack and the Player’s Handbook (PHB) released at the same time. The D&D Dungeon Master’s Guide (DMG) and Monster Manual (MM) will shortly follow over the next couple of months. This probably isn’t news to most RPG fans, but what…

  • Plans for 2013

    My work life is pretty much leaving me with very little spare time. Working the hours I am right now, I’m pretty tired when I get back. I’m still able run RPGs, and play in them, but some of my other projects are going to have to be shelved for the time being. The Mandragora:…

  • 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…

  • 2013 RPGs – Looking forward

    I’m going to try and write a bit more about the last year gaming-wise in a separate post (more on this to appear later). I’ve started doing this every year, as a sort of retrospective of things happening in the Edinburgh Games community, ORC and elsewhere. For now, here’s a very short post detailing some…

  • Gaming in Edinburgh – July 2012

    Well, its been a while since I’ve blogged anything, but that’s largely because I’ve been so busy! These “Gaming in Edinburgh” posts I do are obviously largely geared toward events at http://orcedinburgh.co.uk, but I try to keep things up to date where possible in regard to gaming in Edinburgh generally. I’m working on a few…

  • Signal to Noise

    What we do in life echoes in eternity – Maximus, Gladiator I began clearing out a lot of old bookmarks the other day. I’m surprised at how many sites have disappeared from the ‘net over the last few years, many of which were actually quite useful! While sites like http://web.archive.org are useful, it got me…

  • DNDnext: Epilogue

    Well, considering how everything has worked out since my earlier post, I’m quite surprised at how much speculation exists out there regarding the next edition of D&D. Monte Cook chose not to see out his contract period with Wizards, but his departure has fuelled a number of conspiracy theories. The playtest is available from later…
