So this is just a quick one, since it’ll be the first of two posts today. I just wanted to lay out a few changes to the scheduling of the Bluff. I decided that even fortnightly posts for certain things puts too much pressure on me, and thus makes me less keen to write them. […]
Today I’ve decided to talk about how I got into D&D, because my story is a little convoluted and because this is week is quite a fitting week for it. You’ll understand why soon enough. First all, let’s go way, way back, almost to the beginning. I’ve always been a fantasy geek. Sci-fi too, but […]
Our two-day trip to Ravenwhick, capital of Barrenfall, was quite uneventful, with the exception of Leo claiming to spot a flying castle during the middle of the night, while he was on watch. Also, suddenly, a flying, black cat appeared, as if from nowhere, and now will not leave his side. But aside from that, […]

Flash Fiction Challenge #13
It certainly has been a while since I’ve done one of these. The written story should go up on Monday. Without further ado… Title: Dice Bag Premise: A person wakes up one day and everybody else on the planet is gone. Dialogue: “I love the way you look, covered in glue.” Technical: Has to be […]
Let’s get this right out of the way: a Blupdate is a Bluff Update (aka a Blog Update) and will be how I will present updates regarding the blog from now on. When I came up with the name, I immediately knew two things: it is terrible, and I must use it. This first Blupdate […]
I became interested in Dungeons and Dragons a couple of years ago, but only managed to start playing when I went back to Australia for a visit earlier this year and found out that a friend from high school was running a game. I joined in, and, well, basically, it’s awesome. I’ve been meaning to […]

The Pros and Cons of Group Travel
First of all, brief update. I was working on this post ages ago, and then something came up, I got totally distracted by that, and spent a long time focused on it. Now that that’s died down, I’m planning on setting myself a slightly more specific regime for this blog, in that I’m going to […]

One year ago today, I flew to Berlin…
…to begin what would turn out to be a lifechanging, eye-opening experience travelling a decent chunk of the world. Okay, so this has taken a lot longer than I expected, and there are a number of reasons why (which I won’t bother going into), but the bottom line is, today being one year since I […]
First of all, the travel stuff is still coming. The amount of time I’ve been putting into looking for a job and getting myself back into the working frame of mind has way exceeded my expectations. So, this is just going to be a brief post, and when I say brief, I mean brief. I […]

Two Years and Counting…
Difficult as I find it to believe, today is the second anniversary of my first post. That’s two years I’ve been occasionally posting, and let’s be honest, mostly neglecting this blog. I had no idea what I was doing (still don’t) and I actually never even intended to begin in the first place. Sure, I’d […]
