About

I’m Josh Fogg (they), a 29 year old math student born in Sheffield in the UK. I did my undergrad masters at Manchester and am now studying for a PhD in Edinburgh. Now we’ve got the GCSE French out of the way, here’s the fun stuff!

Up in Edinburgh I run long distance, previously with the Haries but now mostly solo with the occasional parkrun. I also play quadball with Kelpies and the Scottish national team. It’s an amazing and inclusive sport, I’d never played sports before joining but it’s such a fun and welcoming community to be a part of!

Though my dedication to it has fluctuated over the years, I get immense joy out of creative writing. When writing for work allows, I try and make it to the Summerhall writing group too. This goes hand in hand with a love of reading, particularly speculative fiction, and I’m in a few book groups at Lighthouse.

Given everything else, it’s probably no surprise that I love TTRPGs too! In the past I’ve played classics like D&D and Pathfinder, but at the moment I’m part of campaigns run with Spire and Agone which are a lot of fun. Recently I got back into video games too and am very slowly replaying my entire back catalogue.

My time is scattered among all that and work stuff too. This blog amalgamates it all and gives an outlet to waffle on and share something that (I hope) you’ll enjoy. So welcome, old friends and new: I hope you enjoy your stay in my little slice of the internet pie! 😃
