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…
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…
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…
Conpulsion 2015 – Review
In keeping with previous conventions I’ve attended (Dragonmeet and Q-CON) I thought its only fair to review Conpulsion in the same way. “Conpulsion is Scotland’s oldest, largest gaming convention” as it is billed, run by GEAS, the Edinburgh University RPG society. Ironically, I’ve lived in Edinburgh for over 40 years and this is the first…
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…
Convention Games and Demos
Some of you may already know that I’m making the convention rounds this year! So far I’m appearing at Conpulsion, UK Games Expo, Q-CON, and hopefully Dragonmeet. As I’m a Modiphius Silvershield I’ll be running a few demo games – with the exception of a Prayer for St. Nazaire and Cliché they are actually games…
Dragonmeet 2014
So, after Q-CON earlier this year, I decided to try and make it to Dragonmeet, a gaming convention held in London’s Earls Court. I had a pretty pleasant train journey down from Edinburgh, although London rush hour is not a favourite of mine now. I was staying with my sister in Hackney so, accommodation-wise, things…
Q-Con 2014 Belfast – possibly my first RPG convention
Q-Con is definitely on the cards for me this year. I’ve not been to a proper gaming convention (aside from Claymore, a few years back). There’s no way I could afford to to go to GenCon in the states. Here’s the blurb from the official Q-Con website. Q-Con is the annual Gaming & Anime Convention…
