Hello I’d like to speak to games people who love or know a lot about Sega’s Model 1 board, or about its games: Virtual Racing, Virtual Fighter, Star Wars and/or Wing War OR just anyone who worked in the flat-shaded poly era! This is for something I’m writing…

When I was 21 I was writing games in z80 on the Spectrum for Codemasters during the day and then finding Game Genie codes on the Gameboy in the evening using a logic analyser. Fun times, and Keith Stuart wrote the '30 worders' for the little code book.

Went to the lovely Ladybird art exhibition at Victoria Art Gallery. These two books spell out my life story

There are some lovely comments under my story about the origin of #dungeonsanddragons , come and have a read!

Huge congratulations to my old events organising pal Georg Backer and his team for their Bafta success and wonderful stage presence ❤️

I think my feature on the origin of Dungeons & Dragons might be going live tomorrow! As a teaser here is a photograph of the Horticultural Hall in Lake Geneva where the first GenCon conventions were held. This is where Gary Gygax first met Dave Arneson...

I really felt this

Two weeks to publication of my time-spanning gothic mystery novel!! I’ve made a Spotify playlist of Goth and dream pop “bangers” that inspired the story. Please come and have a joyfully miserable listen: open.spotify.com/playlist/2Nokw…

Going into a bookshop and pointing at my friend’s books, part 2

Love is a Curse, Keith Stuart

Imagine never again seeing eight slightly drunk salarymen competing on linked Final Furlong cabinets as though their jobs depended on it (which they probably did tbf)

Let’s face it, this was always going to happen
