Adventures in Tabletop gaming

Oak & Iron, Blood & Plunder, Blitz Bowl, Warmaster, Frost Grave, Gaslands, OSE, Shadowdark

In 2018 I moved from New York City to the UK and decided that I would get back into tabletop wargaming.  I had been playing boardgames with my wife and friends in NYC and rediscovered RPGs after a long break, but I hadn’t touched wargames since my early 20s.

So I got in contact with some old gaming mates, picked up a couple of DBA armies and dived back in.

 

This website is my attempt to collect together the various guides, quick reference sheets and game aids from my growing collection of tabletop wargames as well as some modelling guides.

You’ll also find bits and pieces on hiking, cycling (especially bike packing), PC gaming and the other things that grab my interest from time to time.

Use the top menu to find what you’re looking for, or browse the latest posts below. I might highlight my favourite posts and pictures below from time to time.

Shuttle Gaming PC

Can I build a gaming PC in a Shuttle XPC? Nothing too special, a Nvidia 1070 with a core i5 and SSD. Turns out the answer is yes as long as you don’t mind taking out everything except the motherboard to squeeze in the graphics card then building everything else around it.
