Another month gone by, and a few more items added to my still growing collection. There are always so many different items that are out which I would still like to get a hold of. Add them to the collection. First up is a Role Playing Game book which I have been meaning to buy…
This will be a quick post to update what I had got/purchased this month. These two games I had got given earlier in the month. As you can see this is the classic Carcassonne tile boardgame, but this is with a little twist as it is the Winter Edition, so all the scenes depicted are…
Again I made the mistake of thinking that this month was going to be a quieter one, especially for my wallet. But oh no! There was only going to be one item for this month, as I had only picked up one thing for most of the duration of this month. Right up until the…
To begin this month I only picked up one game, a boardgame. And yes it is another from Rio Grande released game, but after last months barrage of games I thought this would be the last for a while. (How wrong I was!) This one is called Vasco da Gama, and it entails the players…
This month, (or should I say last month now that we are just in June,) I didn’t get any new roleplaying game books, this time it is only boardgames. All the ones shown and listed below I managed to buy brand new and sealed, but at a great reduced price, more than half the original…

A little late with this but never mind, it is better late than never as they say, and it has given me a chance to add more additions together in one post. First off we have a collection of game source books, all for the White Wolf Vampire roleplaying game. Now the last Thursday before…
Here is another post of more bits and pieces I have bought, or been given over the last couple of weeks. But first I will start with the usual picture or two of the items all gathered together. First lets begin with those intriguing little dice, that a friend gave me as a present, feeling…
The Oleg Story: Survival, is a new board game project that was launched on Kickstarter this past Friday. The game is a prison based board game, based on Oleg D Tyler. He is an international hacker who is believed to have been captured and handed over to the U.S. Government, suspected of leaking confidential governmental…
Well as I said I would, here is my most recent purchase. It is a brand new and factory sealed copy of a board game called Vineta. The price was roughly seventy-five percent off the original retail price, so as you can see it was a bargain. And since buying it I have done a…
Well over Friday and Saturday this past weekend I popped over to London, mainly for a live concert in Islington. But while I was there for the two days I made the most of the time. So on the Second day I did a little shopping before coming back home. This first picture is a…
With this post I should be up to date with sharing all my recent game additions, either from buying myself, or others buying and giving them to me, or otherwise coming across them and thinking of me. First up is a picture showing a collection of items that I had bought all in one day. …
It is with great pleasure to introduce to all of you my dear readers, an online business which will be featuring on this very blog. I would like to introduce Magic Madhouse. This company will have a link on the ‘Sponsor Link’ section, as they will be providing to you my readers a code at…
I have added a few more pictures of my painted miniatures to the Facebook page, and this time it was for the figures that was mostly used for the great Games Workshop board game come roleplaying game called Warhammer Quest. My group of players loved playing this game, and it was a shame that it…
I have added some pictures of my old lead (& plastic) miniature figures, that I used for some of my role-playing (RPG/TRPG) session years back, to the Facebook page. Find the page here. amongst the pictures there are also figures that I used for boardgames and or tabletop battles too. I hope you will enjoy…
Earlier this week I got asked to recommend a good role-playing board game, one that could be easily played by only two people. I was also told me that they got fed up with only playing something like Monopoly, which took too long to finish. This question was asked of me by a friend’s daughter,…
I have only just come back from a few days away in the city of York, or Jorvik as the Vikings called it. I had bought a couple of things from there and thought it was best to add them along with the other things I had got since the last update on here. First…
Well it has unfortunately been awhile since I last posted something on here. As I type I am still waiting for a post for the Gumshoe game that was played, plus there is also a two session game of Amazing engine that we played through that is also awaiting to be written up and posted. …
I thought it was about time I updated the blog with some more of the recent purchases. First of all there are some more cheap brand new boardgames from the same chain of shops, (some of them from different towns than the others I had visited,) as the previous boardgames. This one was bought from…
Here are some more pictures of yet more boardgames I have managed to find, in the same chain of shops to the previous findings. They seem to be going through a job lot of older games in the back catalogue of the relevant game company. (Not that I am complaining.) Once again I have taken…
A couple of weekends ago I popped in to a local ‘discount book store’, as I had not been in to one for a while. A friend had told me about some boardgames that they were selling, so I thought I would pop in and take a look and see what else they may have. …
A small update of an interesting little find that caught my eye in a charity shop recently. I had never seen or heard of it before, but as it had dice in its name and even included dice I thought I would take a look. At a bargain price of just 50p I went for…
Unfortunately there was no gaming session again last week, (reason unknown) as it was cancelled in the last hour, so there will be no update or write-up from that session, not even a one-shot this time. Hopefully everything will be as normal this week. Also not sure what is happening with the Rogue Trader update…
First I would like to apologies for the long gap since my last post, also news of the Rogue Trader post, there are still plenty more episodes of this tale, unfortunately we have one update that is going to be late due to time and commitment, that was taken by the games GM as Chris…
A few days back I happened to be looking around a charity shop, and found an interesting looking box on the shelf, along with the usual jigsaws etc. so I dig the box out and take a closer look. Nice little find I think, especially at the bargain price of only £1!! So I buy…
