“They’ve gone away across London,” he said. “I guess they’ve got a bigger camp there. Of a night, all over there, Hampstead way, the sky is alive with their lights. It’s like a great city, and in the glare you can just see them moving. By daylight you can’t. But nearer–I haven’t seen them–” (he…

WotW: Earth – London
“And as I looked at this wide expanse of houses and factories and churches, silent and abandoned; as I thought of the multitudinous hopes and efforts, the innumerable hosts of lives that had gone to build this human reef, and of the swift and ruthless destruction that had hung over it all; when I realised…
Episode One – 24th October 2000
Tonight…. We introduced two of the characters to each other. Father Julian Devon, a priest with a secret, is taking his orphans to Liberty Island. Meanwhile, a young scientist is trying out his new Stealthsuit, a suit of armour which also gives him the ability to turn almost invisible and, wait for it, teleport 25…
Conventions for the remainder of 2007
I missed Warpcon in Cork which annoyed me and I just realised that this weekend is Leprecon in Dublin. Would I go all the way to Killarney? That’s a long way. As is Galway. I’m not really into going across the water to England or Scotland at this point unless I can get a small…
I’ve been a busy boy…
Starting up wow4kids is taking up a lot of time!!!! But have a look at the reviews section and tell me what you think!!!

My Superhero Game.
I’m not happy with the current crop of superhero games. My favourite is Advanced Marvel Superheroes from TSR which is nearly 20 years old. It’s certainly the most flexible and from the most basic amounts of text, oyu can extrapolate so much. I’ve tried most of the games out there and I’m really not happy…
James Wallis is back. And you thought he was just tall.
James Wallis, poster boy for the health benefits of vegetarianism and one of the nicest blokes I know now has his own blog. James will always be welcome at my table. I do mean dinner table because it would be WAYYYY too intimidating to have him in a game…
Tonight at TTN
Tonight at TTN we made characters for my upcoming WatchTower superhero game. True to form we generated them using the random generation rules for the Marvel FASERIP system and we’ll probably convert them to something else later. Paul ended up with a Priest who has the uncanny ability to transmute compound materials into other substances,…
I just started using YouTube
Seems a better way to host videos etc…
Weekly Gaming
The game at TTN was delayed again essentially because in the middle of the afternoon my car died. I did eventually get a courtesy car but the day was so cocked up anyway, I just cancelled. Today I’m reading the Gear Krieg RPG. It’s really really nice. Tomorrow night, KinnyGraham will help us resume our…
Episode Zero: The Premise
Premise: Game start is June 2000. There are superheroes. There is no known definitive reason for their being, but they’ve been among us for decades. During the war years, the Allies and Axis powers deployed their own superbeings in the armed struggle and the US continued to use superbeings in all of their conflicts for…
