Proof of the Decline of Gaming

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

I’ve heard a lot about the decline of gaming (or to be a bit more focused RPGs) in 2010.  I’ve just read the final, ultimate, absolute proof that gaming isn’t what it used to be.  The reports of the theft of 1,753 cards with a value of just under $45,000 from WotC demonstrate the depths […]

I’ve seen quite a few similar photographs to the one above on newspaper websites. I decided to take a closer look because the level of […]

impworks FollowFriday Poll

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

I’ve been wondering about how often I do #followfriday on my twitter feed.   Partly because one follower DM’d me that I don’t do them often enough and another complained last time I did one because I flooded their stream.  So responding to the huge public interest on this burning issue of national interest I thought […]

The Design Museum London

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010
