Exploring and celebrating the tabletop hobby
Well, January was pretty quick, wasn't it? Hard to believe we're more than a month into 2019. It's been a busy month, too. Hobby-wise, I've not done a huge amount. I have managed to get in a couple of games of Terraforming Mars. I played with a group at one of our Northern Knights sessions… Continue reading Hobby Update: A Month Into 2019
Welcome to our top 50 games list for 2018, in which I list my personal top 50 games at this point in time. My choices are not limited to games from this calendar year, but instead, represent my current thoughts on the top 50 games to me. Next year, some of the games featured may… Continue reading Top 50 Games of 2018 (10-1)
I last posted on the 25th of November with a Hobby Update. At that point, I said I didn't have a lot of time, and things haven't changed hugely since then. The good thing about having these longer gaps between hobby updates is that, in these quieter weeks in hobbying, I can gather a few… Continue reading Hobby Update: Checkin’ in Before the Top 50
With my computer woes banished, for now, it's time to dust off this old chestnut and share what I've been up to for the past week. Then again, given that I've not done one of these in a while, it's really more than a month that we need to catch up on. I'm not going… Continue reading Hobby Update: It’s Been a While
I run an RPG group for children. Well, we're a general tabletop gaming group, actually, but D&D is the current focus. For the past few years, we've mainly played board games with an occasional go at the D&D or Star Wars: Edge of the Empire starter sets thrown in. We've always hovered at between 3… Continue reading RPGs with Kids: So Much Fun
Today, I thought I'd take you through my collection of RPG books. That is, my physical collection. As you can probably surmise from my frequent links to Bundles of Holding, I have a lot of digital copies of RPG books, too. Those folders are vast, but also unimpressive and ultimately less satisfying from a collector's… Continue reading My RPG Collection
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
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
