As members of the Maxminis.com roleplaying community would know (and they well might be the only ones who read these musings…), I recently bought a bunch of second-hand AD&D 1e adventure modules. (The full list can be found in this thread). I started playing D&D back in 1982 or so; details are rather fuzzy this far away. In particular, I was introduced to both AD&D … Continue reading Old editions never die
I’ve been paid, thank goodness! (Not that it’s going to last too long, alas…) I’ve been catching up on a few gaming products that have been released over the last few months. * Monster Manual III * Eberron Campaign Setting * Whisper of the Vampire’s Blade * Pirates of the Spanish Main * Star Wars Miniatures Starting with the last, I now have bought exactly … Continue reading Too many games…
I’ve updated my musings – the first time in a while. 🙂 Continue reading Musings…
Well, it’s been quite a while since I’ve added anything to this section of the site, so I guess that now is as good a time as any, yes? Life has been interesting of late. Mostly for gaming reasons. A post I made on ENworld was grabbed by Erik Mona and published in the latest issue of Dungeon Magazine (#115). I’m normally pretty optimistic and … Continue reading Life ongoing…
I’ve just had a happy Friday afternoon with a few friends playing D&D Miniatures and Magic: the Gathering. The two warbands I took along were as follows: 100 point Chaotic Evil: * Vampire Aristocrat * Ogre Ravager * Abyssal Maw 200 point Chaotic Good * Cleric of Corellon Larethian * Moon Elf Fighter * 3 Centaurs * 3 Graycloak Rangers * Axesister * 3 Wolves … Continue reading Friday afternoon: Trading and Skirmishes
I have a love/hate relationship with Microsoft’s Visual Basic .NET On the one hand, it allows me to do a lot of things that I was never able to do before. On the other, I have to learn how it does things, as opposed to the previous version. In my job, I have to do a fair amount of database programming. Visual Basic had one … Continue reading Life of a Computer Programmer
I ended the last entry of this blog with an unexpected postscript: a hen had become a mother. I can now tell you that there are two little baby chickens running about, coloured black and white like all the other chickens this hen has hatched out. Now I have to worry about a fox or cat getting them. (Surely not Lily!) I spent part of … Continue reading Of Chickens and Warbands
I took another step into the great world of self-sufficiency today: I bought some shoelaces. There’s probably a great parable here about One Man’s Need for Shoelaces and what it means in his relationship with the world, but it probably doesn’t apply to me, because I have bought shoelaces before. True, this was the first time I bought them whilst I’ve been living on my … Continue reading Of Warlords and Shoelaces (and Chickens!)
Every second Sunday I meet up with my friends to play D&D. Before that, I get a chance to play some other games. For instance, this last Sunday we played: Lord of the Rings boardgame with the Sauron expansion San Marco boardgame D&D Miniatures Unusually, we didn’t end up playing D&D. I’m taking a break from DMing – I’ve been running this group for the … Continue reading Sunday Gaming Day
Is this thing on? I’m using a Weblogging site that apparently will upload the results to my webpage. That’s cool, and it’s easier than me doing all the html coding myself. (I do so on the rest of my pages – which is why they have a somewhat spartan look at times). Today marks the beginning of a new adventure: Living On My Own At … Continue reading Alone At Home with Only A Cat for Company
