Where Have You Run This Game – RPGaDay 2022

The question is: What situation is your character currently in? As mentioned in the last post, I don’t have a current character. So, I thought I would repurpose this week’s questions to be about a game project, Divided Horizons. So, the question is: Where Have You Run This Game? Conventions. The opportunity to run a…

Where to Host a First Game – RPGaDay 2022

The question is: Where would you host a first game? I personally enjoy the freedom of running at a convention. It might not be ideal — as it can be noisy, disrupted and heaped with added pressures for everyone who hasn’t met before — but it does provide a chance to play brand new games, experience new…

Blocks, Cookies and the King of Spain

For me, attending UK Games Expo in the past has meant preparing and running five or six games – and probably misjudging that prep until the last moment. This year I chose to run only three games and opted to focus on adventures – or, at least, set-ups – that I have run before. For…

Don’t Pity Him

I suspect B.A. would pity me for my shoddy respect of his fighting skills. You can only really appreciate that you’ve done something wrong when you test it in anger – and I can see after a couple of sessions that I haven’t figured B.A. Baracus out right. It isn’t a problem – indeed, I…

Quick Doctor Who Characters

I’m running one or more convention games of Doctor Who (from Cubicle 7) over the next few months, starting with this coming weekend. This past weekend, I finished creating a set of “pre-generated” character cards for the game. Essentially, they’re not complete characters by any measure – just enough to get through a session. While I could…

The Importance of Being Urgent

I’d say we have about two weeks before UK Games Expo. By that estimate, I have a mere 336 hours or so to spend panicking. It shouldn’t be that way. I mean, I have seen this coming for some time now. I have no excuse. The adventures were submitted a long time ago. All five of…

Of Corby and Cows

I spent the weekend away, Friday/Saturday in Milton Keynes, and Sunday in Corby, Northants. I managed to combine both a visit to family with some fun time away with friends and playing games – which is rather nice! Of the latter, I had Mother Day and my dad’s birthday to attend to. We visited them…

UK Games Expo 2015 – Running Games

UK Games Expo event booking has opened up, so I’ve been drawing up my proposed games for the event and picked four so far – with the provision that I might consider a fifth. I have given some consideration to systems based as much on the date and time as anything. So, for example, I’d…

Planning and Passing

I have been tackling my editing duties with a determination of purpose rarely seen round my way. As I planned to have writing done by the end of December, I now have editing targeted for the close of play this weekend. Assuming all goes well with the publishers, we might have a green light for…

Conventionally Done

I attended the Kensington-based Dragonmeet convention at the weekend. I’m verging on being a regular, having attended for the last four years, but never been before as the guest of anyone. On this occasion, I attended as a guest of Arion Games owner Graham Bottley. Mind, I would not get to sit around and freeload……
