• MMO-Champion sold to Curse

  Sites
  

  Major League Gaming have sold MMO-Champion to Curse.com for an undisclosed sum. This likely represents MLG getting rid of none core assets to try and increase liquidity and Curse.com, very much, continuing on their “ooh, they look successful; buy them!” spree. MMO-Champion’s CEO Fabien Bonte will be joining Curse. They’ve promised a redesign of MMO-Champion [...]

• Titan Books launches new site – celebrates with exclusive FireFly pictures (via @titanbooks)

  Sites
  

  Titan Books, who publish a wide range of must-read geek material, have a shiny new website.  The design of it very much reminds me of a professional blog. That’s a good thing in my opinion. It’s more than just a shop window. In fact, it looks like Titan is simply linking through to Amazon in [...]

• Steampunk Ghostbusters – The League of STEAM hunt vampires

  Sites
  

  I think I’d pay people good money to go disrupt a queue for anyone waiting to see anything in the Twilight franchise. I think it’s especially funny when these guys do it. S.T.E.A.M, by the way, is the Supernatural and Troublesome Ectoplasmic Apparitional Mangement. Are they worth calling out? Firstly, you could check out their [...]

• I’m a hat. On a cat. Best Looking for Group joke…

  Comics
  

  Best Looking for Group joke… in ages. Not since “For Pony!” has Richard been so droll. This is a micro-review of the gaming comic sensation that is Looking for Group. What began as a gamer comic designed to reflect on MMOs quickly grew legs, took its independance and started the fan machine. A lot of [...]

• Cthuugle: Cthulhu search engine

  Sites
  

  Cthuugle is a search engine that, as you will hopefully assume, restrict itself to H.P. Lovecraft themed sites. Looks a lot like Google, doesn’t it? That’s why its covered in legal disclaimers. You may think Google has a sense of humour but they take their brand very seriously. Mystery Google had to be renamed several [...]

• Curse.com’s spam problem renders their RSS useless

  Sites
  

  Curse is a hot site and its appropriate their logo features a flame. It’s more than just a gaming community. It’s a gaming utility site. They pinged my radar again today with news that they’ve raised a whopping $6m in a second round of VC funding. That’s not bad for Hubert Thieblot, the founder, who [...]

• GamingReport

  Sites
  

  This is a review of a site that is no longer alive. GamingReport is an ex-site and this makes me sad. GamingReport was an RPG news site. It mainly covered traditional tabletop RPGs but did have an CRPG section for the big news. Way back then there wasn’t all that much CRPG news to get [...]

• OgreCave

  Sites
  

  OgreCave is a stalwart of the RPG community. The site’s archives go back to 2000 which is a clear indication of just how long it has been going for. In essence OgreCave is an RPG blog. The site’s nearly 10 years old and that shows how insightful Sven the Ogre when he started to record [...]

  What do you get if you mix Cuteoverload with Star Wars? That’s right; you get Animals With Lightsabers. This is a site that should appeal to pretty much every type of geek!

• Nahast: Lands of Strife (from @Alex_Melchor)

  Sites
  

  I’ve been reading Nahast from the start and have happily followed it through thick and thin. The thin would be those months where author Alejandro Melchor gets caught up in other commissioned works. Nahast was born back when Alejandro was busy working on a demanding d20 D&D 3.0 schedule producing supplements for Mongoose Publishing. It [...]
