BLOG : WEBBLEDEGOOK
inkyBlog

This blog began in 1997 as a single news page called Nucelus. In 2005, during a long wait to move into a new house, I decided to learn some php and MySQL and write my own blogging system, which became inkyBlog and which now powers this, my own Webbledegook blog.

Thank you to my brother, Murray Ewing, for help with some of the more challenging aspects!

HISTORY OF ROCK'N'ROLL BOARD GAME
Sat 19 Feb 2011

I hunted through some old folders to find the original artwork for the Captain Powerchord History of Rock'n'Roll Board Game (1996) and was delighted to find it again. It's been great fun looking over it and remembering that is actually great fun to play as well!

The game takes you from humble beginnings to stardom via 1950s rock'n'roll, the swinging sixties, the progressive and punky seventies, the MTV eighties, and up to the mid nineties, while all the time you must accumulate hits and avoid obscurity. I do remember the first part of the game, where you have to escape your roots, can be quite difficult, so feel free to make that a little easier if you wish - but the frustration can be part of the fun!

See here for an introduction to Captain Powerchord. In the next few days I will post the fun page from Special.
