After that absence, I literally forgot my password and my phone number also changed so I couldn't get a new one.

BARROWMAZE Crowdfund Announcement:
As mentioned on Google Plus, I'm working on a new crowdfunding campaign set to begin in January of 2014 on Indiegogo.

I'm trying to include lots of different designs so hopefully you might find one appealing.
I hope to have it up by mid-March but that is subject to the printer etc.
It will be a relatively short campaign too, unlike the last one.

Our first session was September 30th, 2010. Sometimes we play every week and sometimes once a month, subject to the university cycle and time of year.
Of those 50 sessions, 35 have been devoted to exploring the dank corners and forgotten crypts of Barrowmaze.
