Worlds in a Handful of Dice is a blog (sometimes) updated and (lazily) managed by Jukka Särkijärvi. He is an avid roleplayer who can’t keep his damn mouth shut. He writes. Occasionally, someone prints what he has written, such as in the cases of Roolipelikirja and a mounting number of articles in Roolipelaaja. He was also the RPG admin for Ropecon 2009.
He also has a LiveJournal account, where he handles matters less dicey.
Great blogs, I am actually writing in search of more information. I am hoping to travel to Tallinn to do research for about a year. My son, 12 will be traveling with me and has recently started gaming: RPG, D&D, Magic, Heroclix. Can you maybe advise if there are gaming stores that meet weekly to do some of these games in Tallinn? If so, do you think we may find some people that speak English? Any assistance will be a big help!!

Ah, Tallinn is a difficult one. While you should be able to get by in English without significant problems, finding a game store might be harder. To my knowledge, there are no dedicated game stores in the whole of Estonia. There is apparently a gaming scene somewhere in there, but I don’t have any contacts there and don’t really know where to look, except for the usual suspects – schools, libraries, the local university.
The closest game store would probably be across the Gulf of Finland, (Fantasiapelit in Helsinki), but since they don’t have a gaming space either, you’ll probably be better off just mail ordering.
