Tabletop Scotland 2019 was a fantastic show. It was the first gaming convention I'd been to with a focus on RPGs and board games, as I'd only really been to wargames/miniatures shows before, such as Carronade, Claymore, and the now-defunct Wappinshaw. I've written previously about how much I enjoyed Tabletop Scotland and won't bother retreading… Continue reading Should I Run a Convention Game?
There are certain games for which I am truly an evangelist. Paranoia is definitely one of those games. It's not the game I'd choose to play every week, but it's such a great experience when you do get to break it out. It gives great opportunities for one-shot silliness. I loved the 2nd edition of… Continue reading Bundle of Holding: Paranoia (The New One)

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
You may have noticed already, but I love RPGs. I like most forms of tabletop gaming, but RPGs are special. I really enjoy taking part in that sort of collaborative storytelling. There's something so... pure about it. I'm probably sounding a bit silly, but I'm used to that. Generally speaking, I like to play in… Continue reading RPGs: In Person VS Online
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
It’s Friday, and here on No Rerolls that means it's time for an all-new 5 on Friday. We're going to start with 5 exciting releases for this week before moving on to our usual digest of some of our favourite articles from the past week. Of course, we’re slow readers, so don’t be surprised if there are some articles… Continue reading 5 on Friday: 10/08/18
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
I've got a lovely opportunity coming up. Some old friends are interested in trying out a roleplaying game and I'm delighted to be their GM. I love GMing. I like playing RPGs, but GMing is where my heart is. I like telling stories and working with the players to really create something special. Thing is,… Continue reading Choosing an RPG for a New Group
