How many bookshops? Our Overnight trip to Hay-on-Wye
I’ve wanted to go to Hay-on-Wye ever since I heard about how many bookshops they had in one town. I couldn’t wait to do a staycation there, since we’re not going to be going abroad any time soon!
Here’s how it went, and what I recommend!
Critical Hit! Making Icewind Dale Taverns More Interesting
A little guide to making Icewind Dale taverns a little more interesting. In a particular part of the campaign there is a series of 5 inns with minimal description. After my players took a particular interest in these inns as a “bar crawl” I created a mini-series of taverns that had unique quirks.

For this reason, people tend to slide into particular stereotypes and norms. Here are some easy ways you can diversify your D&D games!
GeekyClean Review: A Bardic Inspirational Pampering Session

Nerds on Tour: Rest, Relaxation and Llamas
When visiting Faster Lente Llamas this weekend- a glamping site with added llamas – I finally exhaled. I felt like the breath that I’d been holding for the past few weeks had finally been released.

Papergang Box Review: September’s Space Themed Box
I just wanted to tell you about September’s Papergang Box by OhhDeer – a subscription service for stationery lovers! I live for space themed goodies and so this box seemed like it was made for me – plus I got it for the tidy price of £7 as it was my first box! Bargain!
A Geek’s Guide: The Umbrella Academy Members RANKED

Here are the worst to best Umbrella Academy members according to, well, me.

Unmissable Dining in Coventry: Gourmet Food Kitchen Review
I’m not one for food reviews, despite being a frequenter of many a fine dining establishment (Read: I like Nandos a lot). However, after spending our first dinner date out after lock-down at Gourmet Food Kitchen, I just had to write a full review. If you’re not a foodie, then in short, it was incredible.
