ADVENTURES IN TABLETOP GAMING

(and other unrelated pastimes)

Oak & Iron, Blood & Plunder, Blitz Bowl, Warmaster, Frostgrave, OSE, Shadowdark

This site is a personal blog, focused on my love of tabletop wargames, boardgames and OSR role-playing games.
You’ll also find my attempts to create useful content for games like quick reference guides, custom character sheets and player aids, along with little maker projects (of variable success and usefulness).

Finally I'm working of sharing my hiking and cycling adventures with maps, photo galleries and GPS tracks.
