• Weekly Waffle #222

    Gaming for this weeks weekly waffle has been a D&D session last Sunday which was a really good role playing session rather than a fighting session, or at least that’s how it started. From my perspective I got the chance to really get into the bard side of my character telling stories in the tavern and using a bit of magic to get the smoke from my pipe bring the stories to life. Hop manged to find a way to get our hands on some wine that we can use to trade on travels and we got some information of the Pyramids we are heading for. We hired a  couple…

     I’ve had something of a revelation for this weekly waffle, well revelation is a bit strong but as I’ve been off work this week I’ve realised just how much work I do for the waffle each week on the commute. That couple of hours a day sat on the train gets a lot of things in order for the weekend and not having that time has meant that I’ve been all at the last minute getting this ready.  But I’ve got it done and I’d rather be last minute than have spent all week at work. Gaming this week has consisted of a D&D session last Sunday which has been…

    I have to say that I am in full on envy mode for this week’s weekly waffle, looking at all the pictures that are coming out of Adepticon. With more from google showing me what we got up to last year. From the time in Chicago before the event and what has now become a tradition of visiting Giordano’s for a deep pan pizza to watching Al get the hottest sauce he can on his chicken wings, whilst the rest of us think ranch is hot. Which is normal when you come from a damp grey cotton town. Then there is the event itself which for anyone how has never…

    Another slow week this week which seems to be coming a bit of habit so we have short weekly waffle. I’m hoping it’s the quite before the storm and I’m suddenly going to fall into a super productive period where I get loads and loads of things finished. Alas that is still in the future and won’t save me with content for this week. No game night this week but we did have a very interesting D&D session on Sunday and I took the opportunity to change out my character. Gone is the Halfling monk and in is the Dwarven bard. Now I was hoping for a nice introduction to…

    First full week of the year and it’s been a bit quiet. So for this week’s weekly waffle #Post Title #Site Title #Post Title #Site Title I’m getting back into the groove and whilst I understand that isn’t directly hobby related it has had the side benefit of warring me out so I have to have a sit down when I’ve finished. And I’ve decided that my sit down time will be at workbench and not in front of the TV. So in a roundabout way it’s helping with my hobby time. This week that hobby time has been put into more purely gaming pieces so it’s all about getting something…

    I’m going to start things off for this weeks weekly waffle#Post Title | #Site Title  with a bit of look ahead for a project I’m trying to piece together. As I’ve mentioned on umpteen occasions for me a bit part of the hobby is the fluff that goes along with all the different games I play and none of them have richer pot to pick from than 40K. One of my favourite authors is Dan Abnett. The thing that makes him stand out are the details he puts in about normal, if you can call it that, life in the imperium. You see a lot of this in the Ghosts…

    An interesting if not massively productive week this week so the weekly waffle is correspondingly short. No game night so that freed up Tuesday night and I foolishly went to the Gym, which meant I did three days on the bounce this week and I really felt that by Thursday. So, Thursday night was D&D night and after the precarious position we left things in last week I really thought I would need a new character this week, so much so that I rolled one up just in case. As it turned out my character survived but Tom’s wasn’t so fortunate. If you remember from last week I had locked…

    For this week’s weekly waffle I’m hoping that some sort of normal service will be restored. As promised last week I managed to drag my thoughts together and get the review / update of Adepticon published this week so I hope that gave you taste of what it was like. And if there any of you out there planning your own trip I would highly recommend it, I’m hoping to be back again in 2020 so I may see you there. So what have I got for you this week? With this being a waffle I’ll start with a bit filler and that has been that I have finally gotten…
