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 roleplaying games.
I love making things and here you’ll find my attempts to create useful content for games like quick reference guides, custom character sheets and player aids, along with little maker project (of variable success and usefulness).
It’s also a handy place to share my hiking and cycling adventures with maps, photo galleries and GPS tracks.
