I had just recently got the rulebook for In Her Majesty’s Name after having it recommended by several people I play other skirmish games with. Like all rulebooks published by Osprey Publishing it was well set out and the rules were very straightforward, also not a lot of rules to contradict each other or bog …
Structural details – Saltburn Pier – November 2020 This was taken as the sun was going down and I loved the natural contrast the structures brought to the beautiful sky. Just a photo from one of our, what used to be, regular walks between Saltburn and Redcar along the beach. I’ll be adding a gallery …
I got the rulebook for Frostgrave a while back now and was immediately struck with how this was the way I always wanted to play Fantasy battles, small scale skirmishes using a D&D-type system for a campaign. What took me longer was to figure out my Wizard and Warband. I eventually settled on Inquisitor Coteaz …
A poetic form from the Pashtun women of Afghanistan and Pakistan based around an oral tradition of singing their injustices and their love. The form is of two sentences, nine syllables in the first and thirteen in the second, sometimes they rhyme and they try to end in a ma or na sound. …
Twenty-one posts published this month, so a really good month for blog content as in my head as long as I write at least one post a week I’m on my schedule and I’m doing well. Twenty-one posts about gaming, cooking, art history, and writing, but not one book review… You know, the main reason …

I think I got my first Necron models very early in 2003, or late 2002. That’s quite a bit back now and I can’t remember what I had for dinner yesterday (that’s why I’m putting recipes in this blog). But I really loved the space robot, terminator aesthetic but they didn’t last long as I …
I am for an art that is political-erotical-mystical, that does something other than sit on its ass in a museum. I am for an art that grows up not knowing it is art at all, an art given the chance of having a staring point of zero. I am for an art that embroils itself …
We had some filo pastry sitting in the freezer for a while now (I’m going to make Apple Pie Samosas as some point) and I was wondering whether or not there was a filo pastry recipe for smoked mackerel. First hit I found was this recipe from Waitrose, who are usually spot on but this …
