Back at WordPress.com
Well the experiment failed massively. A year ago I got info from WordPress.com that they were reducing the storage size and since I was posting multiple times a week I was going to run out of space. On top of that I was getting enough views that I thought I could earn money from the […]
Exploring Supers RPGs
So a few weeks ago the Marvel Multiverse RPG / d616 system released. I’ve written a lot about it. But it has some massive flaws in the maths which for me make it unplayable at the moment and I really want to be creating supers content in a thriving community, but I don’t want to […]
Bushido: Starter Box game and thoughts after playing
Having built the new starter box we tried it out. Hozumi + Grey Pilgrim Vs Kiyouzumi + Drunken Master. We were playing Icho No riten. Round 1, we just moved people up (Except Koga who got banished). I couldn’t get models to the right zone so left them outside, and Brian couldn’t move his models […]
Bushido: Wave 5 card review, Satou Togai
So there are 5 new characters to pre-order, so I thought I would take a look, starting with the Ryu model, Satou Togai. So he’s a brawler with an area attack. The Great – Circular strike is pretty cool. That could get a lot of hits on the right scenario. The Good – Armour 2, […]
Bushido: Card Reviews – The Bears! (Minimoto)
One of the main posts I do for MCP is reviewing the new cards as they drop, and reviewing older cards when there’s a lull. Well Bushido has lots of old cards, but they’re all new to me. So I’m going to try the same thing for Bushido. I normally give short overviews, pick out […]
Bushido, Game 3 (Ito Vs Minamoto), yet more thoughts
So our scheduled RPG session got cancelled due to the dreaded Covid so Brian and I decided to play another game of Bushido. I wanted to try Ito and Minimoto as they were the next 2 clans on my list (see here). I took Ito and he took Minimoto and we elected to play the […]
WordPress issues
So Yesterday my media storage went from 19% to >100% used. Apparently WordPress.com have changed the plans (including free) without telling anyone. The next plan is £15 a month. After a few emails all I’ve got back is this applies to new free blogs, but no detail on what my storage limit actually is now […]
Bushido – New Starter Box Thoughts
This isn’t so much a review because I’m still only only learning the game. More a look at what the models are like and who can use them. Lets start with the Kiyozumi Family Hinadori Seems cool. The model is awesome. Useless attacks but decent Healing. And counts as Ronin for 3 Factions. Sadaka’s model […]
I did it!
About half way through September I realised I had a chance of topping 30,000 yearly views. This isn’t a lot in internet land, but my previous best was ~29,000 about 5 years ago with some 5e stuff. At the end of September I was on just over 18,000 views but had done about 7,000 after […]
Editorial – Why I write a blog
[I have no real idea what an editorial is, but it sounds cool and important…] I’ve been accused twice recently of writing clickbait articles. Once because I used the phrase “too hard” rather than “more difficult” and once because I wanted a rant. In the first case it was just a silly title and the […]
Covid-19 killed my blog
So Covoid-19 killed my blog… Ok, so not really but it feels like it. I was on a good run at back end of 2019 and got ill at start of 2020. Then covid hit and it wasn’t playing minis or much else. Weekly Roleplaying was happening, but that was taking up my time and […]
I’m Back!
So Covid Happened. Technically it meant I had more time to write the blog, but I had a lot less to blog about. No cinema, No IRL games, no events, no IRL RPG. Also no designated “day off” that I was writing the blog on. Whereas in the last week I’ve seen two new releases […]

Back from the …
Ugh, how long since last post… Well, on plus side it means there’s lots i can talk about. What have i played in last year? Lots of guildball. Massively improved my ranking in season 4, playing hunters and butchers. Made a bunch of finals, but still no tournament win, but lots of podiums. Finished 5-2 […]

This blog was viewed about 27,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 10 sold-out performances for that many […]

Feedback
From my post on rpg.net: http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?686857-Cortex-Cortex-plus-Hacks-Feedback I was re-reading the Cortex plus Hackers Guide Draft Preview (enjoying it more second time…can’t wait for final version) and noticed that in the first article it says you should get feedback for your hacks. I realised i’ve written hacks which i know others have read…but don’t know if anyone […]
