Books, board games, TTRPGs, beers, Eurovision, Sheffield.

It’s opening night of Sheffield brewery St Mars of the Desert’s ‘SMODFest’. My highlight? Was it the delicious festival beers in the sunshine? Introducing attendees to the Mallorca party anthem ‘Johnny Däpp’? Screaming Rammstein lyrics into a child’s face? Whatever: it was a great night. #SMODFest

Warum fehlt es den britischen Spielen, AutorInnen und Verlagen an Strahlkraft über die Grenzen des Landes hinaus? Ich habe auf der UK Games Expo mit James Wallis („Everybody Wins“) und Mike Didymus-True (@boardgamewire.bsky.social) darüber gesprochen. brett-spiel.de/2026/die-bri...

Die britische Spieleszene: 88.000 auf der UK Games Expo

We closed out the second age of our Mythic Bastionland campaign this evening; amazing that the first prompt on the first myth the PCs encountered in session one has become the fulcrum on which the entire realm finds itself divided between two kings, both players, at the end of the second age.

Are you interested in trying out a 'Carved from Brindlewood' ttrpg? Or already a fan? Are you free on Sunday 24th May at 7pm GMT? I am playtesting a one shot inspired by the "Alien" series of films and have a single slot available. The session should be 4 hours. Enquire within / please share!

We’ve returned from a trip to Vienna for the Eurovision Song Contest. Now, I love Eurovision; it’s meant to be a point of light and joy in an otherwise pretty bleak world. And when it works it can be a genuine force for good, for peace and for unity. 1/2
