Let's connect Grogs &RPGers!

I'm from North Yorkshire & live I Durham, UK. I'm an archaeologist & work for Durham Uni. Have managed a game store & help run a monthly RPG night at a local pub.

Mostly GM, by choice. Favourite game is anything Cthulhu based. Have written bits and bobs...
I'm in project crunch period as we come up to the end of our funding. The prospect of unemployment looms as the end of my contract draws ever nearer. Such is life as an ECR in academia. Funding bids going in but nothing to keep me in the game immediately.

Consequently, no Dragonmeet this year.

Want.
there's little to no evidence that the ancient Greeks ever encountered myconids but there's not any evidence that they *didn't*

Thanks to Leisure Games, I've acquired a holy grail pairing in the duo of Hot Springs Island books. Once a pain in the arse to get to the UK, I finally have the lovely hard copies to adorn my shelves...

Today, I'm refreshing myself on archaeological conservation methods to prepare for an interview during the week.

What I really want to do is build the US Infantry and German Grenadiers that my mate passed onto me yesterday...

Thanks to @kyrissulean.bsky.social and @izombieeu.bsky.social for gaming related shopping suggestions in Leicester. As it turned out, I didn’t even have time to sneak off an have a look due to conference socialising, timings around speaking and being roped into chairing a session 🤷🏻‍♂️

Spent the morning doing tasks and the afternoon playing my first few games of bolt action with my mate James - thoroughly enjoyed it, even if the Germans gave the US a bit of a kicking…

I’m off to Leicester for a conference on Friday. Any decent board game/RPG shops in town?

Slap a big order in over at Fenris Games, get yourself some cracking minis and the best scenery in the biz, and help Ian pay for Oz's vet bills at the same time.

I've picked myself up a bunch of Rubble City 2 bits - going to use them from Frostgrave/Mordheim terrain.
Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys.
Thankyou 💔

Up early again for another morning teaching flint knapping. Looks like the rain might hold off today but it's windy as fuck outside...

Held off on buying this for ages, but caved today as it was only £11.25 in Sainsbury's...

My recent terrain building has depleted my stash of blue styrofoam (5mm and 10mm sheets, mostly). I used to buy from the 4D Model Company in London but they’ve gone. Anyone got a UK supplier recommendation? #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

I'm up. Three hours of teaching students to knap flint this morning outside in the freezing cold because the department won't let me do it inside...

WIPs of miniatures I sculpted in 54mm for ‘John Blanche’s En Garde’ painted by the folk at Grimdark Compendium. I got to sculpt these two figures plus extra! Tuomas Pirinen written rules!. All new John Blanche art! A dream job!
