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…
Sanity Check – dealing with self-doubt
The Sanity Check is a common test in The Call of Cthulhu RPG, and it’s as good a title as any. This is slightly off-topic for the usual blog but I think it’s relevant to a certain degree. Ultimately it’s why gaming has been good for me, and helped me grow as an adult. RPGs…
William Heron’s 40, ‘K?
It was my 40th birthday earlier in the week. The last twenty years seem to have passed so quickly, but its quite a long time when I think about it. In that time I’ve changed careers form Audiovisual to Computing – I probably wouldn’t have been the best AV guy anyway given that I was…
Way of Tree, Shadow & Flame for The Secret Fire RPG
The Way of Tree, Shadow & Flame for the Secret Fire RPG has now launched on Kickstarter! It’s not everyday that I get the chance to self-promote an RPG I’m involved with on my blog (sorry if its a bit self-promoting!). Last year I blogged about writing my first piece of freelance work for George…
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…
D&D4e – A Watch Upon the Border
I’ve always been someone who adapts to circumstances as they happen, but hate being an early adopter! Working in IT, I always wait until the first service pack is released before upgrading an Operating System (OS) and I tend to carry that over to gaming rules-sets as well. I’ll freely admit that Dungeons and Dragons…
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…
First time freelancing!
I’ve just finished 27,000 words on Demons for the Secret Fire RPG, the first supplement: Fragment 1: The Way of Tree, Sword and Flame. For me, this is the longest thing I’ve ever written on a single subject and I’m kind of chuffed to get it done with several days to spare until the deadline.I’ve…
March Madness!
I’ve not had the chance to blog much recently as I’ve been too busy. It’s crazy at work too! Currently I’m writing 20,000 words on the Demon/Druid War for the Secret Fire RPG‘s first supplement, Fragment 1: The Way of Tree, Sword & Flame which is due in at the end of April. Ed Greenwood…
The Secret Fire RPG: The Demons Shall Arise!
Last year I did some work on The Secret Fire RPG for Secret Fire Games – much of the flavour text in that book is from my own twisted mind as it were – mainly the monsters, a lot of the spells, and the setting descriptions. One thing I’ve learned from the game’s release is…
