Welcome to the Big Amulet Blog!
This is a blog about fantastic stories and fantastic gaming!
I started this blog as a space to gather and structure the various ideas on storytelling and gaming that I have accumulated over the years. Fleeting moments of inspiration - thoughts on game design, reviews, critiques, and my own creative projects - have too often remained ephemeral and unformed, easily forgotten and discarded, as though they never were. My hope is that this blog will help me shape such motes into coherence and turn them into fully-fledged pieces.
If you have found your way here, I hope you will get something out of it too. I have a very wide-ranging taste in games and literature, and I am hoping to cover a bit of everything. This may inspire you to explore something new yourself, or to discover new ideas of your own by connecting things from multiple sources.
The focus here will be on the fantastic in the broadest sense - be it fantasy, sci-fi, or just weird and imaginative. I’m going to touch on everything from books and comics to films and games. Gaming content will be focussed on tabletop games, but is otherwise also very broad, and includes RPGs, miniature wargames, customisable card games and gamebooks. I will look at both multiplayer games and solo games.
So, if you are into that kind of thing, stick around. Let’s see where this goes.
