Digging around on my website I found this picture, uploaded but never posted of the entrance to the Lewis Building, Liverpool, taken back in 2010.

A second set of 1930s Film Star Photos

Tuesday, August 18th, 2015

I’ve added a second set of 1930s film star photos to my Trail of Cthulhu resources page.  Lots of them handy for NPC portraits.

Pocket Junk and a little Light Reorganising

Friday, August 14th, 2015

I’ve been moving some of my pages round over the last few days to try and make some of them a little less buried away. So all the pages that used to be under other peoples’ games are now just under games. I’ve also merged two blog posts about pocket junk into one and made […]

Sunday, August 2nd, 2015

I was a little nervous about Ant-man. While I tend to avoid reviews I’d seen some comments about it having a lighter tone than other Marvel films with more comedy in a bad way. I didn’t need to be nervous. There are funny moments in Ant-man but this remains a Marvel film in the same […]

Role Playing the Movies

Friday, July 31st, 2015

Obviously there are RPGs that are licenced from movies.  Others often borrow (and sometimes outright steal) from movies, TVs and books then file off the serial numbers.  I’ve a couple of posts on borrowing inspiration from particular movies in the past and I always intend to write more so to chivvy myself along I’ve decided […]

Wednesday, July 29th, 2015

I took far too many photographs of this year’s Serpentine Gallery Pavilion by selgascano. This one seems a lot more fragile than previous pavilions and it was being repaired at least twice on the three times I visited.  But these Pavilions are temporary so its more appropriate in a way than some of the heavyweight, […]
