An act of re-imagination, love of gaming and musings on faith
So thrilled to see this post on Facebook! Everway is one of my favourite tabletop RPGs, a simple narrative game with great flexibility and creativity. Perfect if you have a group that like to contribute to the generation of ideas and plot rather than leave that to the GM. It so many ways it was … Continue reading Everway is coming back!

She’s come to the high cliffs to be alone, to face the truth about her life, to … Continue reading The Light Keeper by Cole Moreton
So recently this blog has mainly been posts about gaming with a smattering of vinyl in between. Of course, when I say recently, that is a slight exaggeration, the last post was at the beginning of the month and now we're nearing the end. Part of the reason for this delay is that I've been … Continue reading I see you…
Session played: 18.01.19, PCs active: Andrei, Toad & ‘K’ At Andrei's instigation, the Assembly decided to start a new project alongside the ongoing creation of the Museum and developing Cropland. Now they would also be working on a Pigsty!

Session played: 14.12.18, PCs active: Dink, Toad & 'K' Having brought the Elder back to the Zone in the last session, our Mutants sought to consolidate this session, opting not to begin any new projects but press on with those already started: the museum, Toad's statue and developing the cropland. 'K' worked on cobbling together an irrigation system for the cropland, moving this … Continue reading Mutant Year Zero Campaign – Part 4: Strangers Sighted
Session played 26.10.18 Ok, so it's taken a while to write this session up - in my line of work November and December are somewhat full on! This session picked up where the last left off. The Elder is still missing (session threat) and the Ark in turmoil as they come to terms with how to respond. … Continue reading Mutant Year Zero Campaign – Part 3: Life in The Zone
A few years ago I backed The Gods War, a new Gloranthan boardgame, on Kickstarter. I'd been close to backing Cthulhu Wars, but Greg Stafford's fantasy setting in this version pushed me over the edge. Ever since I've been waiting in eager anticipation to play - it's been a while, with various troubles befalling it, … Continue reading The Gods War – it’s been sighted!
This time of year it's all go! Sunday evening it's our church carol service and I'm just settling down to do some video editing and talk crafting with Miles Davis' 'Kind of Blue' smoothly spinning from the record player. Seems the right vinyl of choice having sneaked in a chapter or two over breakfast of … Continue reading An Advent Kind of Blue
As you will have gathered from my previous posts, I'm a fan of Free League (Fria Ligan's) Mutant Year Zero tabletop rpg. It will come as no surprise then to gather that I'm excited by their Twitter post today - I'll be backing as soon as it drops! Get ready for the end of the … Continue reading Exciting Mutant Year Zero news!
Session played 14.09.18 In the previous post I reflected from a GM's perspective on the joy of character creation in Mutant Year Zero (MY0) and how through this quick process not only do you quickly develop flavoursome characters, each with their own genre defined niche and relationships between them, but also a description of the … Continue reading Mutant Year Zero Campaign – Part 2: Life in The Ark
