Exploring and celebrating the tabletop hobby
The week started with the best of intentions - a good tidy up! The focus was on my games room and the little room that leads off from it. The initial focus was on the miniatures - sorting them and tidying: I ended up getting rid of some old stuff I know I'd never look… Continue reading Hobby Update 12/08/18: Putting One’s House in Order
The week started with me missing the deadline for the latest round of painting for the club's slow-grow league. I was not surprised to miss the deadline - I usually do. I'm not doing well in keeping up with the timescales, but I'm happy with how the painting is going, overall. it's good for me!… Continue reading Hobby Update 05/08/18: Burn the Gooleyman!
We're back up north, having spent a couple of weeks visiting family, buying a new car, seeing friends and generally chilling in the Central Belt. It's always nice to go off somewhere, but I like coming home. On Wednesday, I headed down to Lybster for one of my D&D groups. We've been using the Portland… Continue reading Hobby Update 29/07/18: One Construct and His Blade
I have made a few sets of Triple Triad templates, and I have seen some nice work from others, but by far the best set of templates I have even seen are the Triple Triad Realms set by Kas.

The week began with a bit of a craft project. I printed up a deck of cards to use in my Wednesday game of Paranoia. In addition to the printed cards, I used some other supplies. These were a selection of sleeves and some old Magic lands to put behind the prints to give them… Continue reading Hobby Update 08/07/18: Prepping Paranoia
Lots of fun this week! We kicked things off on Wednesday with some Hive. Of the two games played, I managed to win one but lost the other. I like that my regular Hive opponents are getting more used to the game, so things are a lot more even and a lot more competitive. Later… Continue reading Hobby Update 24/06/18: Establishing Our Legacy
It's been a roleplay-heavy week, this one. Rest assured, that is most definitely not a complaint! Specifically, I've been to two games of Dungeons & Dragons with two different groups. First up was a group that has only recently formed. Indeed, this was only our second meeting, but we're starting to along very well. I've made… Continue reading Hobby Update 17/06/18: All the Dungeons, All the Dragons
This week started out with me meeting a new group of Dungeons & Dragons players and starting a new game with them. I found this group on Facebook as they were looking to get going. I'm usually nervous about meeting new people, but I'm very glad I went along to this as I really enjoyed… Continue reading Hobby Update 10/06/18: In Service of Blibdoolpoolp
