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 9 – What is the 2nd RPG you brought?
GIG 200: The Mission / Luxx – Shepherds Bush Empire, 10th March 1995
My 200th concert - my fifth time seeing The Mission - and my first time at Shepherds Bush Empire. I'd seen plenty of bands since my first ever concert back on 29th December 1987 (GIG 001), and had plenty more ahead of me, but the thrill and excitement of seeing live music certainly hadn't diminished... … Continue reading GIG 200: The Mission / Luxx – Shepherds Bush Empire, 10th March 1995

GIG 199: Sheep On Drugs / Spank Organisation / Rancho Diablo – LA2, 8th March 1995
The last time I'd seen Sheep On Drugs they were playing The Astoria (GIG 175), LA2's big brother next door. I'd seen them at the LA2 before too, but that was back in October 1993 (GIG 136) which was also the first time I saw them live. But they'd completed the circle and were back … Continue reading GIG 199: Sheep On Drugs / Spank Organisation / Rancho Diablo – LA2, 8th March 1995

GIG 197: Skin Drill / Szekl Kurva – The Bull & Gate, 7th February 1995
Skin Drill really impressed us when we saw them a couple of weeks earlier (GIG 196), so when we heard they were playing The Bull & Gate in Kentish Town Angela, Michael, Richard and myself all headed down there on this Tuesday evening. Support came in the form of Szekl Kurva who, according to LastFM, … Continue reading GIG 197: Skin Drill / Szekl Kurva – The Bull & Gate, 7th February 1995

GIG 196: Cubanate / Inertia / Skin Drill – Marquee, 22nd January 1995
A not so typical Sunday evening at The Marquee. Sundays were usually their 'goth' nights - or certainly seemed to be with the amount of goth bands on the line-up every Sunday evening, but tonight we had swapped 'goth' for 'EBM/Industrial' bands Cubanate, Inertia and Skin Drill. I headed down to the Marquee with Angala … Continue reading GIG 196: Cubanate / Inertia / Skin Drill – Marquee, 22nd January 1995
