Shop, shop

Last Saturday I made a long anticipated pilgrimage to the mighty Leisure Games in North London. This trip was a late birthday present to myself and three of my gaming pals came along for the ride.















It's an hour and a half drive to the shop from where I live. Thankfully, the drive into London went very smoothly and we arrived with no problems. How joyous it is to spend some quality mooching time in a game shop.














I soon accumulated a nice little pile of goodies. First thing I grabbed was Zombies!!! This is a game which is apparently owned by everyone I know so now I have joined the club. I'm sure my wife and daughter will enjoy sending hordes of hungry zombies my way. Along the same lines, I also picked up a copy of Munchkin. Another one for the family to play. Finally, I picked up some RPG books including Fate Core and Accelerated, Fate Dice and the Savage Worlds Super Powers Companion. Last but not least, I finally picked up a copy of Classic Car Wars.

This little lot will keep me busy for some time to come. Thank you Leisure Games!

Character Building

So as promised i"ve started the process of using this blog as a forum for hosting characters that i've created over the years. These were created in different systems and some, frankly, most of them have never been played. I'm also going to start using the blog to host some newly created characters as a test for some new (to me) systems. First up will be a character for Far Trek.
