Just back from a fantastic week in Devon with lots of role-playing friends. Much of the time was spent playing various role-playing games, but various castles and other castles were visited. While away it was also my birthday, so much food and drink was consumed ( Read more... )

Just received a delivery of cards from moo.com for the tabletop RPG I mentioned before. I'm really pleased with how they came out, though a they are really business cards, they are a bit too think and stiff to riffle shuffle.

I'm the kind of person who gets annoyed at poor customer service. I'm also the kind of person who does actually bother to complain to companies when they have given me poor service, and have had reasonable success in actually getting acknowledgement of such and change ( Read more... )

I've been playing several great video game RPGs recently. What's particularly impressive is that they are all extremely different, which is good for diversity in the genre ( Read more... )

I've been playing a bit of Glitch recently. I'm not entirely sure how good it will be in the long term, but it's quite amusing at the moment. Despite the ridiculously cutesy style, it does seem to be a genuine mmo, but just in 2d and entirely in Flash. There seems to be a queue of about a day to join, or I've got a few email invites.

Given the glorious weather (and not just glorious for October), leathellin suggested a trip to Kew yesterday. This being a great idea, a group of us took up this suggestion ( Read more... )

I've recently been playing quite a lot of Xenoblade Chronicles. It turns out that the reviews are correct and it really is one of the best JRPGs of this generation. It's also on the Wii only. Which is strange.

I had to get my Wii back from leathellin to play it, which indicates how little I've used the Wii recently.

Just got back from a weekend at Sidmouth Folk Festival where we were helping glittertigger's dad celebrate his birthday.

I've never been to a folk festival before, and it was fun. The main concert from Show of Hands was good, even if the support were patchy. It was good to get a feel for what glittertigger got up to in her youth ( Read more... )

After a ridiculously hectic June, we can now relax a bit. Hopefully this will allow us to catch up on various things, and have a more quiet time at home ( Read more... )

Like various others who may be reading this, we're just back from Norfolk from Amanda and Andre's wedding.

This was a lovely event, and the venue (the same place as the regular August party many have been to) was superb as usual. It was also great to catch up with some people I've not seen for a while.

I've now posted an initial set of photos ( Read more... )
