For the past few months, I’ve been busy working on a BBC TV show. It’s a comedy sketch show called ‘Burnistoun’ and it’s been a huge undertaking. A lot of writing, and six weeks of long filming days. There’s been no time for playing games, and certainly no time to operate a one-man-website.

Here's me in costume for Burnistoun. YUM!

But the work is done. Last night I even got the opportunity to have a 7 hour long pen and paper RPG session. I have a load of boardgames that lie unplayed, untested. I got some great new stuff for Christmas. It’s on. It’s on. I’m back in the game.

I also have games that people have sent me to test. I’m going to get to these too, a huge backlog to catch up with, a huge amount of content for you people to read and watch. I don’t know where to start, there’s so much to play and do. It’s a wonderful problem to have.

It’s been horrible, not having the time to play games. It’s something that you need to make time for, because nothing quite beats getting round a table and losing yourself for a few hours. There’s nothing else that really matches that kind of group fun. Although I imagine swinging might be quite a good laugh, if you’re a bit sick in the head. Dogging too, if you’re even more sick. I’ll stick to the board games, thanks.

So what can you expect from here on in?

More episodes of the show, more reviews, news, features. I’ll hopefully have some guests contributing to the site too, so look out for that.

How long has it been since you played?

Get back in the game!
