Rose, Aegon, and the Troupe have just slain the bandit leaders in Tazok’s tent. They have learned that Tazok is in the Cloakwood and that an organisation known as the Iron Throne is behind both the bandits and the iron crisis.

I am Bok, a British-born expat living in China. I was born in Lancashire but identify as a 'plassie-Scouser'. I spent my youth growing up in Cumbria. Here I developed a great taste for exploration, climbing mountains and camping in the wilderness - a taste for travel that has defined my life.
Stories from Koh Phangan
We did a lot of interesting things while on Koh Phangan. A lot of it not really worth a full article to talk about. So here’s a short photo journal of some of the things we got up to before we set sail for Koh Tao.
Portal 2: This Was a Triumph
I’ve played through this classic game before, but apparently I’ve never played it through Steam. So for the sake of completeness I decided to revisit the game so I can add another notch to my Steam bedpost. Any excuse to play through this fantastic sequel again.
Butterflies of South East Asia
I’ve been travelling around SEA for a while now, and there have been a lot of butterflies along the way. I’ve decided to add a few of the butterflies I’ve seen around to the butterfly mod, helping to pad out the variety of butterflies players can encounter.
Devs: Exposition, Exposition
Devs is a show created by Alex Garland about a secretive tech company that has developed a way to predict the future. Nick Offerman plays a lead role in this story about free will versus determination. Does free will exist, or is everything predetermined.
Assault on the Bandit Leaders
After spending a few days in Restenford, Aegon and Rose have assembled a new party to once again return to the Bandit Camp. They stand before Tazok’s tent, visions of death swirling in Aegon’s mind. They don’t know what they will encounter inside, but this time they will be prepared.
Phaeng Waterfall Nature Trail
This scenic waterfall trail is one of many places you can hike on Koh Phangan island. While it wasn’t really flowing due to us being there at the beginning of the rainy season, we still took the time to explore some of the more natural parts of this party island.
Western Press: An Empty World
Set in the Wild Wild West, Western Press is a game focused on pistol duelling. You need to be quick on the draw at dawn, at dusk, or at any other time.
Finishing Up the New Moths
I’ve been adding even more moths to the mod ready for the next release. Some of these have custom behaviours and others don’t. I also contemplate adding butterfly breeding, so that players can artificially increase the number of butterflies in their farms.
It’s Always the Woman’s Fault
Recently I attended a movie night at the Belgian Club in Vientiane. This month they have been showing various animated films. Last week they showed Richard Linklater’s Waking Life. This week they showed a Polish film called ‘Chlopi’, or ‘The Peasants’ in English.
