Out with the old and in with the new: bring on 2024

Last year did not exactly go to plan. The arrival of a puppy in April and some hectic work schedules towards the end of the year meant a lot of what I wanted to get done just didn’t get done. Will any of it happen in 2024? Who knows, but I’m up for attempting to scratch the surface. So here’s a brief run through of what I’m aiming to get done this year.

The Southwest Clash

In July the third Southwest Clash (at least under my stewardship) will be taking place at Bristol Independent Gaming. I’m looking forward to running this two-day Kings of War event again and will hopefully be raffling off a few Titans again, in additional to the more traditional prizes.

Short stories and blog updates

Having managed another year-on-year improvement on the amount of interest this site has received I’m keen to try and get a little something posted more regularly and expand the content out a little further. I’m not promising, but I’d love to get at least a little something written and posted every couple of weeks at the least.

Painting projects

I’m going to be getting back to a few projects I didn’t get round to last year. There’s a Frostgrave warband waiting in the wings, some Moonstone and I really want to revisit my Saga: Age of Magic models. Then there’s the nostalgia for an empire in an old world to be carefully considered. In addition to all this I have my ticket to this year’s Clash of Kings in September, so I’ll need an army for that.

The Rose Through the Void

Finally, I’ll briefly mention my second book, the next instalment of the Rose of Amzharr, of everything I’ve had going on this is the project that was held up the most in 2023. I’ve been really pleased with the feedback I’ve had about my first book and want to make sure the next instalment is even more enjoyable.

So, with an exciting year ahead all that remains is for me to wish you all a very happy new year, and the best of luck with everything you want to achieve.
