Mayas: revelation of an endless time
Saturday, July 18th, 2015I went to the excellent, free exhibition Mayas: revelation of an endless time at the World Museum in Liverpool today for a second visit. There are 385 Mayan artefacts covering the period from 250 to 1250AD. I needed a second visit having nipped in on a lunch break the week it opened not knowing what […]
A New 7-Sentence NPC
Friday, July 17th, 2015CM Cline in Dragon Magazine 184 (August 1992) presented The 7-Sentence NPC. Back then most of my NPCs either got a full page biography or a stat block.

Nice mix of twists, spills and thrills following the chase format of the previous movies. If forced I’d say this is probably the third best outing of the series but a lot […]

Thursday, July 9th, 2015Annual summary of what I did on my holiday post… Bank of England Building open day & Museum well worth the visit but almost two hours of standing waiting to go in for a thirty minute tour might put off the less determined. Really interesting to see rooms normally closed to the public and the […]

Another Blast from the (Blog Past): Describing a Character like a Spy
Friday, July 3rd, 2015Found an old blog article while I was looking for something else. Thought I’d give it an easier to find home… Describing a Character like a Spy
Mr Holmes
Thursday, July 2nd, 2015Taken me a week to pull my finger out and blog about Mr Holmes. Went to see it last week. Enjoyed its rather melancholy, later life, all my friends are dead, bee keeping take on the great detective. The excellent cast (Ian McKellen as Sherlock Holmes, Laura Linney as housekeeper Mrs. Munro, Milo Parker as […]
