Thanks to Stuart I am now the proud owner of a PlayStation and Playstation 2. (Well, a re-owner of the PS1 as my father threw mine out, and this is my second PS2, but the other...

Hang on. 1989: Nicolas Cage stars in Vampire's Kiss as a man obsessed with a vampire. This is quite appropriate, as we'll see. 2000: Nicolas Cage produces Shadow of the...

I saw this on Scroobius Pip's twitch channel on Friday, and it is glorious. I'm not 100% sure what it's advertising. I think it's textured wallpaper, but surely you don't want...

Dragonlance was 40 years old in March and I missed it! But it's never too late to celebrate... You can get the design on t-shirts (and some other bits) here or here. (I get a...

Oops. It seems that my last post on this subject was the result of a misunderstanding. Apparently what was wanted was a list of all possible locations for antidote vials for...

Short Review: Break!! is a well-designed game that reminds me a lot of Redbox Hack, and a little of 13th Age, and as I like both of those games a lot, I'm quite well-disposed...

I've had a good look through Break!! and I'm putting a review together, but for now let's just say I like it very much and I'm considering running it. Maybe. Before unleashing...

Last night/this morning I dreamed of a forgotten Britpop-era banger, circa 1997, from a band with the initials "FF". It was a jangly, jolly, upbeat number, somewhere in Feeder...

If you like purple-clad turtle tech geniuses as much as I do, then there is a new design in my merchandise shops: You can get the design on some bits and pieces like notebooks,...

Well, I know Keir Starmer isn't popular with every section of his party, but this seems a bit harsh.

After what seems like ages* Fight On! magazine returns with issue #15! I've got a couple of pictures in there, plus a comic strip with Jonathan Linneman. Fight On! is where I...

So Robert Downey Jr has returned to Marvel to play... Doctor Doom. Huh. I didn't expect that. It's an interesting choice, and I'm intrigued to see how it's done. Evil...

The Acorn Afloats, and so I must answer, albeit a month later. PETER HOOK, aka PETER THE HOOK, aka HOOKY PETE, aka the SOUL FISHER: Armour 14 (as leather), Move 150’, 2* Hit...

In Star Trek IV: The One With the Whales -- the best one -- it's suggested that in the Kirk era Starfleet doesn't recognise cetacean intelligence; over the course of the --...

Oh, I didn't write any more about the 2024 series of Doctor Who after all. Oops. Oh well. I enjoyed it anyway. I thought the finale, "The Legend of Ruby Sunday"/"Empire of...

I am relieved, but I am not enthused. We've had 14 years of incompetence, cruelty, and corruption from the Tories, and Labour should be better than that, but Labour's official...

Here's an idea I don't have time to explore at the moment, but popped into my head at lunch time and probably should be written down somewhere. Bog standard fantasy business,...

This arrived yesterday! I have been following Reynaldo since the old blogging days, through the halcyon Google+ times, and then through the Break!! development, so backing the...

I have just finished Ian Livingstone's 2022 Fighting Fantasy gamebook Shadow of the Giants. It's not too bad! The main issue is that for the most part there's only an illusion...

This is an arrow made of some sort of lightweight but strong metal. The name "Saint Sevurdapoy" is carved along the shaft. Feels icy cold -- almost painful -- to the touch....

This is your semi-regular reminder that Temple of Doom is the best one. #TempleOfDoomIsTheBestOne

I forgot to mention that as well as Rogue Trader, Stuart and I played a bit of the pithily-titled The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game the other day. It's a fun game,...
-
Here's a scenario for Stargrave. Fresh out of my brain and untested. I'll see if I can get Stuart to play it with me. I may return to this with conversion notes for other...

It is the Space Year 1987. Long before his adventures in the wilder regions of space, Fateweaver Duu'ey of the Ad Hoc Craftworld, fresh out of Farseer Academy, is sent on his...

As I may have mentioned before, Shadow of the Colossus is one of my favourite computer games ever. When the team behind that announced a follow-up, The Last Guardian, in which...

Here's a piece for an upcoming issue of Fight On!; the magazine that refused to die. I'm very rusty, but it's been fun to draw again.
-
The BBC released the first two episodes of the new series of Doctor Who on Saturday and I very much enjoyed both, although I'm not blind to their faults. It's a bold and...

My print copy of Ruination Pilgrimage arived today, so I tested it out by making a character! Doctor Sessan, itinerant surgeon: Strength: 30 Agility: 37 Intellect: 39 Combat:...
