For most of us, the evening's gaming session will comprise of a quick run up of army lists, a simple scenario and maybe a little narrative reasoning if you are in the mood. But this month, why don't we take it further. It's time to go on campaign!

With National Novel Writing Month come and gone, I thought that now was a good time for all of us prospective writers to set ourselves a new challenge with our games. Turn them into a story.

Dice. They are our tried and tested friends, or most hated enemies. Sometimes we can become a little too reliant upon those fickle fiends of chance. So I thought for this Try Something New I'd take a look at some new ways to test your resolve.
