As the first part of our AdventureX coverage did before it, the second half of our round-up continues to bring back fond memories. My trademark bright shirt caught the attention of many. One person posting a photo of the event was able to use the shirt to tag me in it, even though they took […]
The weekend of November 19-20 marked this year’s AdventureX, the world’s only convention devoted to “narrative games”. Once again Goldsmith’s University in South East London played host to this event. Gaming luminaries from around the world such as Charles Cecil and Rihanna Pratchett travelled in to talk about game-making, give interviews on their work and […]
This month you can search for the torn pieces of a lost train ticket, look for missing miners on a distant planet, or seek out the cause of a deadly blight. Those up for a bit of lighthearted fun can try to get a ticket to the cinema, or join retro video game mascots in […]

This month you can become a reality TV contestant trapped in a reputedly haunted house, a hideous monster from another world, or a playwright in search of inspiration. You could also explore the strange world that exists beyond mirrors, a mysterious mansion at the edge of a forest, or a swamp island far from your […]
