Welcome to #RPGaDAY2022! Now in its ninth year, #RPGaDAY was originally created by RPG author and games designer David Chapman (Conspiracy X, Doctor Who, etc) as a bit of fun and to get people talking about tabletop roleplaying games. August was chosen, I believe, to coincide with tabletop roleplaying’s gaming mecca that is Gen Con … Continue reading #RPGaDAY2022 Day 21 – Setting Sunday: Share an intriguing detail from a game setting you enjoy.

GIG 212: Rubicon / Angora – The Borderline, 7th June 1995
I'd last seen Rubicon back in 1992 (GIG 103) on their first tour after forming in the wake of The Fields of The Nephilim splitting up. I'd not really heard much of them in the intervening years but spotted they were playing a gig at The Borderline so a few of us brought tickets and … Continue reading GIG 212: Rubicon / Angora – The Borderline, 7th June 1995

GIG 211: Cries of Tammuz / Revolution By Night / Manuskript – Marquee, 4th June 1995
A great line-up for the regular Sunday Night Goth Night at The Marquee on Charing Cross Road. Not only because two of my mates bands were playing (who were both also really good) but also because Manuskript were also opening and they were great too! There was quite a crowd and it was one of … Continue reading GIG 211: Cries of Tammuz / Revolution By Night / Manuskript – Marquee, 4th June 1995

GIG 210: Terrorvision / EMF / Joyrider – Brixton Academy, 21st May 1995
I'd really enjoyed seeing Terrorvision in October '94 (GIG 188) so when they announced a date at Brixton Academy (one of my favourite venues) I quickly snapped up a ticket. It was a Sunday evening and Angela, Alex, Mike R, Oli, Surfer Boy and myself all headed down south of the river to the gig. … Continue reading GIG 210: Terrorvision / EMF / Joyrider – Brixton Academy, 21st May 1995

GIG 209: Ugly Kid Joe – LA2, 15th May 1995
There was a time in 1992 that Ugly Kid Joe ruled the summer. 'Everything About You', 'Neighbor' and 'Cats in the Cradle' blasted out loudly everywhere and our little group used to sing merrily along when we heard them. It took me until 1995 to finally see them in concert. My love of them had … Continue reading GIG 209: Ugly Kid Joe – LA2, 15th May 1995
