The Woman in Black Review with Notes for Roleplayers
Thursday, February 23rd, 2012The Woman in Black is a solid attempt to make a classic ghost story from the revived Hammer . The film making combines the best of the old school Hammer with 21st century production values. It takes a classic approach to horror eschewing the slasher / blood and gore school of horror. The cinema I […]

7th Sea Burning & Ravenloft Ablaze
Thursday, August 19th, 2010My 7th Sea feature review was my first article for Valkyrie. Its one of my favourite games of all time. At university I took a course on fire relating to building design.

Why I Write Reviews
Monday, August 2nd, 2010Why do I write what I call reviews? The short answer: Because it helps me think about my own writing. The long answer: I used to write what I’ll call proper reviews, they’d appear in Valkyrie and Ragnarok. My review of 7th Sea produced at short notice got me the writing gig with Valkyrie so […]

Definitly Too Many Ideas
Thursday, May 1st, 2008I’m having one of those weeks where I just seem to be constantly juggling projects… I’ve almost finished Dirk Dangerous and the Giant Balls of Doom. I’ve been retooling some of my old Ravenloft adventures for a more recent version of D&D. I’ve been answering questions about Vue 6 Tutorial: Cloud Layer Sculpting. I completely […]
Lets Go To The Castle At Night…
Friday, April 11th, 2008… He won’t be expecting us then. A line from one character when friends of mine when playing the original Ravenloft adventure. I wasn’t actually there but I’ve heard it so often it almost feels like community property. I’d played the same scenario back in college so it made sense to me. Back on the […]
101 Ways to Lose Time #23
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008I was doing some tidying up and sorting out over the weekend when I came across the files of notes from my old gaming campaigns I ran at University. Leafing through them was a bad idea as I found the Ravenloft campaigns I ran for several years as introductory games for freshers. Some would say […]
