This is the part of my job I hate the most. Reprinting reprints of reports. They’ve already been proofread twice or three times, and mistakes are still being found. I move towards brain-dead about now. I was working all day Saturday, and until midnight on Monday. On Sunday, I went to a friend’s place and played a few boardgames; she’s a co-worker at Grammar, and … Continue reading Urgh.
Yay! The Traitor’s Gambit – the first part of the Star Wars Saga edition campaign Dawn of Defiance – has been released. This is a campaign that I expect to actually play in – probably as a Human Noble – with Martin GMing the game. Do you have a date you want to start, Martin? Who else will be playing? (Oh, and congratulations to Rodney … Continue reading Woohoo – the Traitor’s Gambit is out!
Yay! I’m amusing myself by proofreading another teacher’s reports rather than writing my own. Apparently the Sarah Jane Adventures are really, really good; the first episode of Season 2 Torchwood is also great – a decided change from most of the eps last season, and you really, really need to check out this link. Oh, and Josh Whedon will be doing a Ripper movie with … Continue reading Proofreading
Just wanted to point out this blog entry by Friendless (John Farrell), who I see around BGG from time to time. This is something that I expect to happen to Randy some time, but John’s description of it is very amusing and worth reading. Continue reading It’s a box!
I’ve almost managed to get rid of the pile of reports I’ve been proofreading. It’s not the proofreading that is painful – that’s pretty easy, all things considered – it’s then changing them on the system. Eep. Still, getting these ones right would be nice, because I have to print them all out on Saturday. There goes another 6+ hours of my life. In the … Continue reading Bits and pieces

11 hours of gaming last Saturday, or thereabouts. Well, we probably took an hour off for tea. (Take that, Randy! ) Six of us, that is Mike, Rich, Josh, Mat, Craig and me. We got to play my new game of TransEuropa, my relatively new game of Drakon, my “I’m not that old honest”, game of Niagara, my really old game of Dune, and finish … Continue reading Saturday Session Reports
Well, only a few days to go until I finally get to perform in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. That should be fun, even if it’s playing merry havoc with my gaming schedule – one of a few things, actually. I can still of count on boardgaming and my Savage Tide D&D game, but my Friday afternoon game is now defunct, and my Sunday Ulek campaign is … Continue reading Recent happenings
I’ve now written over 250 session reports on www.boardgamegeek.com. Wow. It was a fairly light weekend as far as gaming went – a couple of games of Battletech against Sarah on Friday; a game of Iron Heroes with Martin, Craig, Peggy and Adam on Friday night, and then some evening boardgames with Randy on Saturday night – Memoir ’44, Twilight Struggle, and Battletech. The Battletech … Continue reading 250 session reports!
For all the Joss Whedon fans out there… Dollhouse Continue reading Dollhouse
