A few years ago I wrote a series of short fiction pieces that were included in the Era: The Empowered Roleplaying Game, published by Shades of Vengeance. A fifth anniversary edition of the game is due to be released in early 2024 I believe. I had great fun writing the shorts and Ed Jowett, the … Continue reading (Fiction) Era: The Empowered, Lobo Faces A God

GIG 325 : Live – The Forum, 17th April 1997
Live really broke on to the scene with their third album, "Throwing Copper", which came out in 1994. They were massive in the States, with multiple #1 albums and hit singles, but never achieved anywhere near the same level of success here in the UK. Their highest chart positions being #31 for their 1997 "Secret … Continue reading GIG 325 : Live – The Forum, 17th April 1997

Angus’ Most Played Top 100 Bands October 2023

Kuro RPG Core Rulebook by Le 7eme Cercle I lost Miko during the Kuro incident. She was driving when the light from the missile exploded over Tokyo.

(Poetry) Memories (I)
Along with reams of short stories, and longer attempts at fiction, I’ve written countless poems over the decades. The bulk were written in my teens and twenties and I literally have folders full of handwritten and typewritten compositions. I’d been threatening to put a selection into print since the mid-90’s. I remember discussing it with … Continue reading (Poetry) Memories (I)
GIG 323 : Pist*On – Camden Palace, 1st April 1997
US band Pist*On were the live band at Feet First at Camden Palace on this evening.

Pist*On were touring to support their first album, … Continue reading GIG 323 : Pist*On – Camden Palace, 1st April 1997
