After a long absence...

Just to advise that I am still alive. However, I need to inform my readers that because of the demands of schoolwork on Junior Grognard, we have had to take the decision to suspend Team Adventure for a couple of months. It's not a decision that we took lightly, since we know that the players really enjoy it and were looking forward to it starting up again after Christmas.

I am still working on the Adventure for Every Monster series, which will be continuing soon. Since I'm not gaming (apart from running the CoC pbem), I've not got that much game-related stuff to blog about. But this blog is not closing down - posting will be intermittent until further notice.

Whatever happened to Daddy Grognard?

It's been quite a while since I last posted but I am still alive and kicking, just very busy at present. Other needs are taking up computer time and with the long school holidays meaning it's very difficult to assemble all the Team Adventure players at the same time, that's on a hiatus until early September.

I am still reading (and have some reviews to get out to you all), playing a PBEM Call of Cthulhu game and jotting down ideas for Adventure For Every Monster posts as they occur to me; however, finding time to put up stuff of any length right now is a no-no.

I will try to get some stuff up this month when things calm down a bit.

Apologies for the lack of content. 

Been a bit busy

My apologies for the lack of substantial posts just recently. This is why.

Art on Friday

Greetings, and firstly apologies for not having been more prolific this week with the posts. I have had some interesting ideas but I'm notoriously over-critical of my own stuff and I haven't been able to convince myself that they're blogworthy. Maybe next week.

Anyway, on to the business of the day. Art. Have I found any? Hoo-boy, you bet I have. Today's artist is a games illustrator and fellow Brit, Pete Amachree. He turns out some pretty cool stuff, much of which can certainly spark an idea or two in a DM's mind. I found quite often - back when I was a much younger Grognard - that the images on the covers of the old White Dwarfs (that's before issue 70 or so) would get my mind thinking 'How can I use that in a dungeon?'. I hope these pictures set off something similar.

Temple of the Medusa - now come on, who's just written the entire dungeon in their mind?

Who knows what lies beyond the Gate?

You want post-apocalyptic art? We've got that.


More post-apocalyptic here. What weird mutants lurk in the water?

It's bleak, it's icy, you bet it will do nicely, Giant Hall, Giant Hall...

If you go down to the woods today...

Clash of the Titans? Pah! Now this is epic...

Well, I'm just off to roll some dice for SNFC which, with any luck will be up tomorrow. Sunday may well see me getting some gaming in with Junior Grognard, off across the river again in search of treasure (it's about time they actually found some!)

Match Postponed

Apologies to anyone who tuned in last night hoping to see SNFC.

Mummy Grognard needed to use the computer for an important college assignment and I was therefore unable to post. She didn't finish till gone midnight.

Normal SNFC service will be resumed next Saturday with Hill Giant v Ankheg.
