I put it down to computer fatigue – the screen and keyboard time associated with work have soared during lock-down. Being a home office working and spending most of my day in front of a computer, the thought of spending extra hours in front of it typing away at a blog simply does not appeal. The social interaction of online gaming is a real buzz though, as well as Virtual Meetings with other wargamers – such as those put on recently by Wargaming Developments. The high light however is the online D&D session that has rumbled on through Covid regardless (see below, a scene from my last „Dungeon Hack“ session – the party gets bounced by a ‚gang of ghouls‘ [evil laughter] lead by an „undead“ boss monster with .. ooh look … a dangerous looking ‚evil‘ magic item – so the party’s Cleric attacks the undead with „Light Domain – Channel Divinity“ ability): 

More ‚good news‘ is that I do snip away making things for my hobbies more. For some particular reason the Covid-crisis has inspired me to „put-together“ plenty [too many] 28mm WWII (for Chain of Command) figures. I do seem to have organised and assessed the contents of the wargaming attic in meticulous detail – although arranging troops for my own  „big battles“ has not been part of this activity. So, credit to all the other bloggers who have kept up such a prestigious rate over Covid and the good news story is that I am getting a few games of the F2F type in too, so I think the tide is a turning for the better.  

As for the Dungeon Crawl (see below, spoiler alert, the adventurers were victorious .. sigh .. [as all the undead are now really well and truly, once and for all .. er, dead .. their natural state I suppose], the adventurers may have won this particular battle but the war or rather the quest goes on!): 

PS: To all my fellow bloggers out there .. blog on .. I am still reading you .. and enjoying you all tremendously 😉
