The Chronicles Series – A New Legacy For Board Games.
Change is good. Words I’m sure Rob Daviau lives by, if you are unaware of the revolutionary steps Rob has made in gaming then you’ve been missing out. Back in 2011 he brought Risk Legacy to our tables and for me this was one of the most exciting developments to come to tabletop gaming in […]
So long and thanks for all the meeples – UK Games EXPO 2015
And so as I recline in the Who Dares Rolls study having washed the stink of freshly pressed cardboard and cellophane wrap from my nostrils its time for some quiet contemplation. The UK Games EXPO has always been a mecca drawing in apostles to this fine hobby of ours from all the corners of this […]

DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS: CASTING TRUE RESURRECTION ON THE GAME
I’ve had a long relationship with Dungeons and Dragons and one which has led me to some odd places. I’ve had some great times with D&D, but it and I have also split up a bunch of times, I like to feel with good reason but that’s always the way in a breakup. Here’s a […]
London Toy Fair 2015
In January I made some bold (read foolish) proclamations of intent to run a series of articles relating to how the hobby game industry functions within the UK, the intent is to take a peek at all levels from distributors, designers to us lowly bloggers.

The challenge is to help 12 new people DISCOVER the modern tabletop […]
And Here we go again! Yippee!
So we’ve packed 2014 away neatly back into its box, checked under the table for any missing components and bagged all its meeples, and slid it with satisfied contentment away onto the shelf. Lets take a breath because personally the last couple of months have been a bit of a blur, I’m in the unenviable […]

Very odd behaviour – Meeting the oddballs face to face

This is a thing people, well possibly only in my mind, but humor a guy here c’mon. […]
Fear and Loathing in Birmingham
