So, about a year ago, I looked at what games I wanted to run next.

Finally got around to playing this!

I finally got round to trying Into The Odd.

Last time in Illmire, the Ranger Leithidir turned out to be cursed by the Deathly Spade.

I’ve got terrible at keeping up with these.

I finally had a go playing Dungeon Crawl Classics.

I decided to shake up my Evils of Illmire campaign with something different, and I’d been meaning to run “Do Not Let Us Die”1 for a while.

So last time, the players decided to sneak into the cult’s temple in Illmire.

I finally got a chance to play a game I’d been very curious about, Alice is Missing.

It’s Hypertellurians time again!

We continue the tales of the Evils of Illmire.

Jim Parkin likes making and playing very streamlined games.

So, last time, in the Evils of Illmire… well, it went a bit to shit.

In the last writeup, the party was surprised by an owlbear… But before that, I got the party sketched!

To celebrate playing another game of Spire with Alone in the Labyrinth, I got my character sketched!

Christmas 2019, I decided to give playing by post (PbP) a try.

I have a spare laptop.

How many pictures?

Continuing from part one, this post summarises the next two sessions.

Apologies for the delay on this writeup, it’s back from October.

Treated myself last night to something out of my pile of 2020 Kickstarters, The Wretched, now in its second printing The Wretched is a game about human resilience in the face of overwhelming odds and almost certain death.

I read a lot.

In 2020 I read a lot of comics - it was a lockdown thing.

So, I’ve covered the prep, now, how did we get on?

My wife and I don’t binge-watch much.

Never written up the few technical projects I’ve done on here, so here’s an old project, a clock to show the next sea tides.

Time to start The Evils of Illmire!

So, I, uh, bought another giant Toblerone.

STAAHHN THE CROWS, IT’S AAHNLY THE BLEEDIN’ TOWAAHH OF LAAAHNDAAAN This is an actual line from the video game of ‘Vampire: the Masquerade’.

Hypertellurians is beautiful.

Finally, finally, I pulled the trigger and tried running a Hypertellurians game.

I like a spooky Halloween game.

Time for another impromptu game of The Quiet Year!

BEHOLD!

I wasn’t enthused about the third adventure in the Bree-land Region Guide — but saying that, I haven’t run it.

Finally, finally started a UVG game!

This post contains spoilers for the named adventure in the Bree-land Region Guide for Adventures in Middle Earth, by Cubicle 7 🙈.

Short post here, here’s the games in my “to-play” pile, sorted by immediacy.

I played the ENNie award-winning Thousand Year Old Vampire.

I wanted to try a 5e game but with OSR rules for dungeoneering.

Ross, of 2-minute table-top provides maps, and assets to his patreons, and on his shop.

Well, I bought Dungeondraft.

Tried having a quick game of The Quiet Year due to a last minute cancellation in a regular game.

This post is just spoilers for Witchburner.

I ran Luka Rejec’s Witchburner in Old School Essentials over Discord for my wife and a few friends, back at the height of lockdown.

The Quiet Year is a sort-of-coop map-drawing and story-telling game.

I make maps for my games.

The site’s changed name.

One of the rumours about Quake level design is that id Software required all levels to be impossible to write in Doom.

I want to make rooms more memorable in SGCP as at the moment I’m describing “YoU Are iN a pREttY/UGly roOM” and I want to do better.
