Confessions of a Digital Dungeon Master

Five sessions into running a campaign online and I still panic before we start every time. For the foreseeable future, my party and I are playing over Roll20. It took me longer than I care to admit to learn how to use it properly and I am still messing up. What can I say, I'm...

[OWLS December Blog Tour] Confessions of a Scrooge

I was planning on writing this confessional but when the OWLS tour for this month was announced I decided to combine them! As the title states, I am a Scrooge, or a Grinch if you prefer. Not completely but let me elaborate. Working in retail around this time of year really exorcise the Christmas spirit...

Confessions of a Dungeon Rookie

According to my dear Dungeon Master, Thomas, I have already made a terrible mistake as a DM. I have shown weakness by admitting I'm nervous about my role. However, now with three sessions under my belt, I feel like I'm starting to get a hand on the basics. I'm no Matt Mercer or Thomas (if...

Confessions of a Writer

Back when I was a young girl I loved writing short stories and creating characters. I used to imagine what kind of adventures they would get into, doodle their cool gizmos and gadgets and often put myself in their fictional shoes. As a teen, I would start writing stories but never finished them. I would...

Confessions of Lonely Nerd

Another year, another Valentine's Day spent alone. Well, not entirely since I'm working today but you get the idea. I have never had a Valentine. In fact, one of my exes asked me out the day after Valentine's Day! That should have been a red flag for the relationship I ended up in with them....

Confessions of a Broke Gamer

I mentioned this in my last ramble and figured that I should elaborate. I am skint. I barely have enough to last me to my next paycheck. You see, in my attempt to get all my Christmas shopping done early I ended up spending way too much. In fairness, I normally have an issue with...

Confessions of a D&D Player

I briefly mentioned in a ramble how I have become obsessed with D&D. You can blame Thomas for that. Most of our conversations during breaks in college tend to revolve around D&D. Well, I say conversations. It's more like me asking a tone of questions and bugging him constantly about it. In our last session,...

Confessions of a Con Goer

This is my fourth year of going to MCM Scotland Comic Con in two days and I can't wait. I figured as I finalise my cosplay and prepare I might as well recount my previous experiences. I have been to about eight conventions so far, five of them being Collectormaina or as it's known now...

Confessions of a Bookworm

I wasn't sure whether or not to make this a confessional or a sequel to an older ramble I first penned back in 2016, so I decided to do both. I would recommend you read that one first before continuing this one. I was also torn on the title as while I do love reading,...

Confessions of a Shopohoic Gamer

I know, the title sucks but I am not witty enough to come up with anything better. I don't really know how to phrase this, but I am a compulsive shopper when it comes to games. Anytime there is a sale I feel like I need to buy at least one game. I briefly talked...
