What a great weekend for TV: a Dr. Who special and three brand Red Dwarf episodes! Dr. Who was enjoyable and fun, but I was much more excited about the Red Dwarf specials. I can’t wait till Dr. Who starts proper (I think that’s penned in for next year), but the Dr. Who special filled in […]
While working on Lost Heroes RPG over the Christmas, I wrote this little flash fiction. I was hitting a bit of mental block so I changed tack and wrote something else. I think it works actual, what do you think? He put down the staff beside him and scratched his head. “I don’t know if […]

“He is dead you say?” “No. Alive. He is one of the Quick.” “Alive? You mean dead don’t you?” “Alive.” The Mayor rolled this thought around his head for a moment. “So let me get this straight. He’s dead and…” “No your not listening he’s alive.” “Alive, it’s just preposterous. Doesn’t make sense. But because […]
