Obviously a lot of my outdoor kit is now well over a decade old. After a little hunting around where all my outdoor gear is stored. I eventually found my Bushbuddy wood burning stove. Naturally I had to fire it up, which I did yesterday. The Bushbuddy is a rather cool stove. It’s double walled, … Continue reading stoves and some recipe plans
Last night three very good friends joined me in playing some games at our usual location of the Wisbech St Mary Sports and Social Club. Earlier in the day I had started a six bean chili of my own creation. My chilli paste I used was a combination of ancho, pasilla, guajillo, and kashmiri chillis. … Continue reading Spicy Gaming Session!
I think one of my gaming highlights of the year has to be the annual gaming day that Jeff hosts to celebrate another year going round the sun. For the record the other is going to the UKGE. This year like the previous one saw Memoir 44 hit the table with an overlord map. Our … Continue reading Bad Guys two, Good guys nil
Last week I got to visit Nathan. As I was driving down on the Tuesday afternoon Nathan was taking his driving test. Which was finishing around the time I was passing his location. So I deviated from the M3 to surprise him at Fleet train station and give him a lift home. When Nathan and … Continue reading Curry, Games, and Pain!
After a relaxed start to the day (which I’m totally allowed seeing as I’m on holiday) I taught Nathan how to play the two player game Splendor Duel. As usual I didn’t win. If my bgstat app is correct (and why wouldn’t it be?) I have never, I’ll repeat that never won a game of … Continue reading Father Son Gaming New Year Edition

After a pretty cool roast dinner we watched the Wales vs England match, and then John Wick 2 (we had watched John Wick the previous night, and guess what we are watching tonight?) Why a roast dinner last night? Nathan gets all the credit for that. I guess he … Continue reading Return of the Return of Father Son Gaming
SPOILER ALERT TO MY ADVENTURERS! The following post contains spoilers for the up and coming campaign. You may want to avoid this post and join me in a future one. It’s been a long long time since the previous session planning post for our campaigns next session. And we all know why that is. But … Continue reading Update on planning session 8 #4
I don’t know when or how Matthew Colville first popped into the stuff Youtube recommends to me. I do remember that it was his reaction/explanation video for some key twist/event in the climax of Critical Roll season one. A brief aside I’m not a fan of Critical Roll. I think it presents an unrealistic view … Continue reading All Hail King Grull
I thought in this first part of the post I’d talk about playing Dram. It wouldn’t surprise some of you to know that I’m a fan of the Dragonlance books, in particularly the Chronicles trilogy that tell the story of the War of the Lance. The actual story itself is told through the eyes of … Continue reading The only two things in life you can guarantee
Welcome to the second D&D post. The last one took a while to write, but now we are all up to date on the adventures of Dram and the large folks these posts should be quicker to write. Naturally when I retell the events of the adventuring that week they will be told from the … Continue reading The magic behind the wizard
