About
A bit about me. Well, that picture is what I looked like about 15 years ago, before all my hair turned silver. I work in security which allows me lots of time to peruse my hobbies. Although I live in the UK (proud to live in Nottingham, the birthplace of Blood Bowl) I work predominately nights, so am effectively nocturnal, which is why I primarily play in US leagues and time zones.

Blood Bowl

I've started playing table top during 3rd edition, although have vivid memories of watching others play 2nd edition on the symbolic foam board. I was fairly young, my friends grew out of it and GW stopped production. I did enjoy playing the 1995 PC version for a while and even tried Chaos League. It wasn't until many years later that I discovered SkiJunkies java client and playing on FBB (France Blood Bowl) and FUMBBL. Great times, even better than before.
I was very excited when Cyanide announced they would be producing a PC version and managed to get a place as a Beta tester. However, it very quickly become clear to me what I wanted and what they intended were very different things and FUMBBL by far remained the best client. I'm pleased to see many of my suggestions have been taken on board for BB2, but it is still far inferior to what we have here.

I had a long break shortly after FUMBBL transitioned to CRP, aging pretty much killed it for me. I'm pleased to be back, sad I missed out on BB2016, but despite the recent step back (that 2020 is in my opinion) I'm optimistic Blood Bowl is heading in the right direction once more.


Martial Arts
I started Karate when I was 8 years old and have pretty much continued training ever since. In fact, I met my wife runs her own club, Phoenix Kickingboxing, where I still train today as one of her students/senior instructors.


Warhammer Quest

I still love and play Warhammer Quest, the original 1995 version. Playing table top at weekends and online every day on Captain Cutlass' website. The website is similar in many ways in that it is a small community run for free by it's enthusiastic members. I've helped bring the site along a little over the last few years, mostly helping with the php code. If you'd like to hear more or join feel free to contact me.

Just recently I've started getting into Gloomhaven as an alternative to WHQ and highly recommend it for anyone interested in that kinda thing.

Currently experimenting with playing Dungeon Bowl on there (Fumbbl icons "borrowed"!)

"Awaiting the revolution. Come on LRB FUMBBL!
Finishing my leagues games and then leaving FUMBBL until a better set of rules come out (so possibly never). Thanks for the good times."

10 years later, BB2020 is here and seems to be a step in the right direction :)
