While wandering Koh Tao we were handed a flyer for the Queen’s Cabaret. This is the local drag queen show. We were interested, but were unsure if it would be worth seeing.
Bok McDonagh
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.
It’s a Small World Indeed
Another board game adaptation, Small World is a fun, short game that can be played in about 30 minutes. It’s a very simple game, but it has depth to it that makes it difficult to master.
Housing the Lepidopterist
We have job blocks. We have villagers. What we don’t have is a home for these new villagers to live. This week I’ve added new buildings that will spawn in villages. And with a new home, lepidopterists can spawn naturally as well.
Inaction is a Weapon of Mass Destruction
“Never Again” were the words spoken after the Second World War ended alongside the Holocaust. But it did happen again. And again. And it’s still happening now. In Cambodia I’ve been visiting the Killing Fields and Holocaust Museums and one phrase stuck with me. Doing nothing is not an option.
Travelling In Bear Country
Rose and the Troupe start exploring the Amnian border to see what they can find. After some chance encounters in the Fire Leaf Forest, the Troupe continue westward toward the Sword Coast. Towards a village Aegon visited once before. A village full of small blue humanoids.
Hiking to the Top of Koh Tao
I had to do at least one hike in Koh Tao. We decide to pick a route that would take us to the top of the island.
Finally Playing Borderlands 2
When I first moved to China I was working for 2K Games China. The project was to be Borderlands Online, but it was unfortunately cancelled before release. Despite this, I never got around to playing Borderlands 2. I played the first game, but never the second.
The Lepidopterist Villager
Last week I added the Butterfly Breeder. This week I used the new block as a job block to create a new villager: the Lepidopterist. This villager will give access to trades around butterflies, giving players a new method of finding new species.
Thoughts and Feelings on Flowers
I’ve always had an interesting relationship with flowers. It’s not to say I don’t like them, but I’ve always had difficulty grasping a lot of the customs and rituals around flowers. Why do people buy them and place them in vases only so they can die.
Detour to Fire Leaf Forest
Back in Nashkel once again, Verr’Sza and the others, even Gorion’s old friends are starting to look up to him as a leader. After clearing out the mines and defeating the leaders of the bandit camp, the Troupe needs to decide their next move.
