The Return of the Blogger

Salvé! (Formal greeting in Italian - particularly used by Romans).

It has been a while, hasn't it? Last time I posted I was enamored with a lovely piece of Q-Con appreciation art... this time I write two days after my 1st Q-Con XX nightmare (after catching sight of the new logo)!
Q-Con nightmares are a common thing for all those involved with running it - furries, gaffer tape  and J-pop are not a good mix!!!

So anyway - I have been out of the loop for the last couple of months. I was working in Italy for the most part, then I was on holiday in the USA for the last two weeks... so I need to get back in the mix.

I am really looking forward to the QUB Dragonslayers 30th Anniversary/Birthday bash. It is going to be a big night (as it coincides with the Freshers night) with even bigger prizes. Raffle central! Find more details via this link:

I see in my Blogger home page that I have left my first Infinity related post unfinished - I will get that up after a redraft and a couple of games next week. It seems there has been the release of a new race and a new campaign book in my absence - much to investigate!

So between now and then... what shall I write about? Who knows... I need to be creative.
I feel the need to write something about the author Iain M. Banks, and his Culture novels, at some stage. I am on the verge of finishing his third novel in this series, entitled Use of Weapons.

In case you haven't tried his work then please take my recommendation - the scope of his writing is mind boggling! Now is a good time to go pick up a copy of one of these novels as A Player of Games is on £2.99 in Waterstones. A better bargain you will not find!

Anyway, I will close for now - with the promise of a quick return within the next week!

Ciao for now!
