Anyone into strategy board games? Ahhh, yes. That would be me. I run a twice yearly board gaming convention in Buckinghamshire. I tend to favour games that reward skillful play rather than luck. I like worker placement, modular boards, variable end game goals and auction mechanics. My favourites wo...
It's true that Bloodstock's learned its lesson from Katatonia and chosen to completely ignore the wishlist (as well as Facebook if Vicky had any sense. Wait...), but I have passed on the wish for 2023's wishlist. I don't wield such power to do it myself, before you ask. Obviously it's a long time a...
Thank you! I love been a dad! I would still like the option to take him if possible, and I'd rather not have my choice made for my by immatur insecure/egotistical people who can't handle themselves. A few years ago bloodstock did not have this edge to it. It saddens me to see it tbh. However, the q...
Disclaimer: I'm a relatively new dad, so my take on this is probably reflective of that new situation. I Congrats. In my opinion don't take your child to Bloodstock. At least not the whole weekend anyway. There's no need to expose a child to all that at a young age. No young child regardless of mus...
But it is. The fest is promoted as family friendly and many children do attend. It's not appropriate to do that infront of children. Do you think sexual imagary should be put before 4 year olds? I fucking hope not. The fest should never be promoted as family friendly. What exactly is there for kids...
What was this? I must have missed it. Before Mercyful Fate someone from the stage asked for Becky Baldwin to come to the stage urgently. Then they brought her on to the stage and introduced her. They said something along the lines of "This is Becky. Hopefully you'll see more of her. If she agr...
In the good, bad and ugly thread there's comments about the way people dress in front of children. Should Bloodstock really try and sell itself as a family friendly fest anyway? This is purely my opinion and we all have different values but I would never take my young children to this fest for follo...
The Bad Bloodstock leaning ever harder into Vicky's pronoun debarkle. This is Bloodstock not a Pride march. I haven't oppressed anyone and I just want to listen to music, meet like minded people and share a pint with friends old and new. Its cynical corporate virtue signalling. Vicky can think what...
The one good thing about the hot weather was people were going to the toilet much less so I never needed to queue in the arena and there wasn't piss everywhere.
That was so random just before the mercyful fate set. Can't remember her last name now but I googled it at the time and she's a bass player so maybe they've hired her. Was pretty random announcement though.
