Welcome to JohnHQLD.com! I’m JohnHQLD, and this is my little corner of the internet. Hopefully, you will come and join us as we share our love of gaming.
Mainly I will be talking about things that catch my interest, primarily in gaming. Board Games, Video Games, Puzzles – I don’t mind. As long as we are all having fun, that’s all I worry about.
If there is anything you would like to discuss or would like my thoughts on, leave me a note on the Facebook page, or @JohnHQLD me on Twitter or Instagram! Follow me on Instagram if you also want to see lots of pics of our pets as well 🙂
Last Week’s Gaming
Coming out of being sick and keeping up with work before going on leave have taken their toll. I only played one game last week, nothing compared to my normal gaming. I didn’t even find an adamantoise! But I now have a chance to talk about Bravely Default 2’s tonal mid game changes in a little more detail.

Still being sick, I didn’t get in much gaming last week. But I did make headway in Bravely Default 2, The good news is I have made headway in some new rejigged site plans, so that will hopefully be revealed sometime next week!
A LOT of Game Bundle Print and Play Kickstarter
I said that this year I was going to do a lot more Print and Play games. That is still on the cards, but there is no reason why I wouldn’t look for a few more. And on Kickstarter there is the A LOT of Game Bundle to help me increase my Print and Play library some more.

I have come down sick! 
Gloomier: A Night at Hemlock Hall Kickstarter
Gloom from 2005 is a rather niche game that is well-known, but I rarely meet people that have actually played it. Well today (if I got my timing right) Atlas Games have launched Gloomier: A Night at Hemlock Hall, the stand-alone sequel/big box/revised version of Gloom!
Last Week’s Gaming
You know those times when you think you have everything under control, and then life decides to throw you a new challenger? It’s been an interesting time, to say the least. Nothing bad, nothing terrible, just a lot. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t get any gaming in last week, and I have some fun gaming plans for this week. Gotta concentrate on the positive! 
Last Week’s Gaming
Well, last week was a roller coaster. Work things are coming back under control. Facebook decided JohnHQLD.com was a news site. And I got back to some serious gaming! A great board game Saturday with Alpal, and Bravely Default 2 released. At the end of the week, I think it was a good one overall. 
March 2021 Highlights
March seems to be a month of a lot of my old favourites getting some TLC in various ways. Remasters, sequels, new platforms – in one way or another, I will be able to play some old favourites or play them on a platform I couldn’t before. What do I mean? Well you will have to check out my March Highlights to see!
Um, thanks? JohnHQLD has been struck from Facebook sharing
So it has come to light that JohnHQLDPLays, our Facebook page, has come under Facebook’s news blackout ‘experiment’. So while a lot of people use the page to see what’s happening, rest assured the site updates are still happening, even if Facebook isn’t sharing!
Last Week’s Gaming
The workaround for the delays in my PC is almost in place. I just need to get through this week and tweak any setups. And just in time too – Bravely Default II comes out this week! But that’s future games. This is Last Week’s Gaming! Again, not a lot, but I did get in some gaming and I have more detailed thoughts this week.
