About Me
- Caliban
- Cheltenham, England
- I have been gaming since school, moving from historical figures gaming through role playing and back again. I decided to Blog after being persuaded by some friends that it's time I joined the digital age properly. The plan is to showcase various goings-on in my gaming life and keep it updated as much as I possibly can, barring work and real life. Speaking of which - now that I have been on Bogger for a while - I have decided to expand my blogging acxtivities to my work life as well.
