Welcome to Mogsymakes

As well as my writing activities, I like to share my various gaming interests here. Gaming – in its various forms – is a great source of enjoyment for me and has given me the opportunity to go to some amazing places, research strange things and make some wonderful friends. I’d say that my primary interest is historical gaming, but I have a strong interest in myth and legend that has taken me into more fantastical realms as well.

With the Morris & Chums group, I try to put on exciting, unusual and inclusive games at a variety of shows, including our recent presentations at the National Trust Sutton Hoo site.

Making this kind of thing may seem like an odd choice for someone who loves peace and equality, but turning these things into games gives us the chance to learn about corners of the world that we never knew, allowing us to see history – or fantasy, for that matter – from different viewpoints and perspectives.  If you’re inspired by this kind of stuff, I really hope that you enjoy the site. On the other hand, if your idea of miniature gaming involves crude historical, gender or racial stereotypes, this isn’t the place for it; I hope that anyone of any identity would feel that they can find something interesting or thought-provoking here. So welcome in.
