AUTOCRATIK: May 2014

Roll Your Own Life. Monday, May 19, 2014. What the Hell am I doing? I'm having one of those months where I'm questioning everything I'm doing. Whether this is my writing, drawing, or even the day-job, I just keep coming back to wondering if I'm doing the right thing. For the last month, the day-job has taken up 90% of my waking time (as usual), with my lunch hours being spent hiding in the public library or coffee shops working on the second draft of the WILD. The next on my reading list was the "Wake".

AUTOCRATIK: March 2015
http://autocratik.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Roll Your Own Life. Tuesday, March 24, 2015. I was recently reminded of the old tale of "how I got into writing roleplaying games". The weird thing is, it wasn't anything to do with gaming, it was movies. Neill Blomkamp. You've probably seen online the recent announcement that Neill Blomkamp, the genius of the high-tech, super-realistic sci-fi genre and director of District 9. And most recently Chappie,. The internet went wild. The internet spoke. And listeners were encouraged to show their support by sp...

AUTOCRATIK: July 2014

Roll Your Own Life. Saturday, July 5, 2014. For the whole of June, The Borough Press. Each day in June I pondered the topic for the day and posted a photo of a book which I thought fit the category of the day. Whether this was "book with a blue cover" or "never finished it", I worked my way through the month and saw what other readers were posting online. However, being a gamer I felt compelled to sneak in a couple of roleplaying games into mix. I posted the AD&D Player's Handbook. The questions have bee...

Roll Your Own Life. Wednesday, December 3, 2014. Dragonmeet - Signing and Stuff. This Saturday, 6th December 2014, is Dragonmeet. The UK's biggest convention for RPGs and gaming since GenConUK came to an untimely end. I've not been able to make it to a Dragonmeet in many, many years. 2007 was the last one I attended when I was on a panel with some very recognisable names in the RPG world. Dragonmeet 2007:(L-R) - Me, Dominic McDowall-Thomas, Chris Birch. Angus Abranson and Fred Hicks. Seems especially wei...

Roll Your Own Life. Monday, March 3, 2014. A Dream of Magic. I’ve had a long standing dream for many, many years now. An impossible dream, but one I still hold on to and may never let go, and I thought I’d share it with you. Before I get to the details, I should offer a little background first. My love of Harry Potter. Me, at the Warner Bros Studio Tour. Outside Gringotts, on Diagon Alley. How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Harry Potter. Retold, or just The Worst Witch. Again, were quelled in my gro...

Roll Your Own Life. Sunday, August 31, 2014. RPGaDAY - Day 31: Favourite RPG of all time. First of all, many thanks to everyone who has taken part in #RPGaDAY. It's been far wider, more accepted and cooler than I'd ever imagined. Thank you all. Favourite RPG is a tricky one, but I've had to narrow it down by thinking of the RPG I had the most fun with and have the fondest memories of playing. Saturday, August 30, 2014. RPGaDAY - Day 30: Rarest RPG Owned. 35s, the collector's Buffy RPG. Tuesday, August 26...

AUTOCRATIK: "Of course it's happening inside your head, Harry."
http://autocratik.blogspot.com/2015/04/of-course-its-happening-inside-your.html
Roll Your Own Life. Sunday, April 26, 2015. Of course it's happening inside your head, Harry.". Me, in my rightful place, in the. Last week I posted. About how I've always wanted to write an official Harry Potter Roleplaying Game. And went into some detail about why this is not only a great idea that would be true and respectful to the source material, but also how it would be beneficial to kids and adults alike, getting their imaginations flowing and interacting in a more social way. Game players who ar...

Roll Your Own Life. Monday, May 25, 2015. We Don't Need Another Hero. It's no secret that I've been running out of steam recently. Motivation was at an all time low, and I've been finding it hard to be enthusiastic about anything. It's a sad fact that sometimes real life gets in the way. It didn't help that I'd been starting to doubt what I was doing with the RPG I'd be working on - WILD. But I thought, "who'd want to read what is basically a massive chase? Then I saw something that changed my mind.
