People often ask who runs Dragon Burn, and how they can get involved. Since the Burn is entirely volunteer-driven, the answer to both questions is simple: YOU. If you see a gap, you fill it. A Burn is a Do-ocracy.
Bok McDonagh
I am Bok, a British-born expat living in China. I was born in Lancashire but identify as a 'plassie-Scouser'. I spent my youth growing up in Cumbria. Here I developed a great taste for exploration, climbing mountains and camping in the wilderness - a taste for travel that has defined my life.
Journey Back To The North
Aegon’s first raid of the Iron Throne’s mines in the Cloakwood failed, and many of his friends had to be resurrected. Having gathered a new party, he now returns to attempt another assault, and to find Vienxay’s former master so she can have her revenge.
Wat Si Muang: Mother Temple
Buddhist temples are always a meaningful place to visit in Southeast Asia, and Laos is no exception. Vientiane, the capital city, is home to many such temples, and we spent some time exploring a few of them.
Paradoxes of Deponia Doomsday
From Daedelic Entertainment comes the fourth installation in the Deponia game series. The game follows Rufus on his latest adventure, where he uses time travel in an attempt to create a better ending.
Fixing Bugs on the Backlog
This week I work through and fix several bugs that have been on the backlog for a while. With this I now have a much more stable code base that I can build upon when implementing new features.

You Must Gather Your Party
Though the Troupe cut down the Blacktalons guarding the Iron Throne’s mine, only half of them made it out alive. Beaten, weary, and half-dead in more ways than one, they retreat to the Temple of Wisdom in the Friendly Arm to raise the fallen.
Laos: Home of the Butterfly
I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many butterflies as I have while travelling Laos. I’ve always loved these amazing creatures, and to see so many in one place was such a joy.
Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut
Wasteland 2 opens with a funeral, and I’m already mourning the hours I’m about to lose to this massive, brutal world. This one’s going to take a while to complete, so here are my initial impressions of what, so far, looks to be a very fun game.
Fixing Lepidopterist Trades
Porting and maintaining multiple versions of a mod can be a lot of work. Sometimes things slip through the cracks. One of those things were the Lepidopterist’s trade offers. I didn’t notice until after release that the Lepidopterist wasn’t offering all the trades they were supposed to.
