Articles by Andrew Girdwood - Page 1168

A notable highlight from 23rd April 2018 by Andrew Girdwood is described as "Imagine handing out a cloth that seemed to be decorated in the Royal Emblem but also splattered with blood. Wouldn't that add to the atmosphere of the game in a way that flipping the laptop around to show the same illustration might not?". It also was tagged with Props.

May 13, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The eternal war which puts the unnerving forces of Chaos against the cruel regime of mankind makes for some epic battles. Where does it fit on your fashion radar? These officially licensed Games Workshop Warhammer 40K leggings are made by the four-year-old British Wild Bangarang. Update: January 2025 – Sadly, Wild Bangarang went out of […]

A review of Blue Exorcist: Definitive Edition – Kyoto Saga

May 11, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood 5 Comments

I enjoyed Blue Exorcist, but it took me a while to work out what was going on in season two and a little while to forgive it for that. This arch isn’t either a sequel or a prequel. The Kyoto Saga is set mid-way through season 1.

Competition: Win Shin Godzilla

May 7, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood 22 Comments

Shin Godzilla is both old and new at the same time. It’s a new movie, first in cinemas a few years ago and the most recent disc releases out just for last Christmas, but it is filmed in the old style. What does that mean? Don’t expect a fancy computer graphics Godzilla. Expect a monster […]

Clip on dice towers are a perfect way to organise your DMing

April 26, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Here’s an idea that’ll be popular with DMs who make good use of heavy card screens and who like to organise. These dice towers don’t sit on the table and take up space, they clip onto the GM screen and catch dice in trays to stop them escaping. [I need one of these] I think […]

An easy way to make better player handouts for Dungeons & Dragons?

April 23, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

As a DM I don’t tend to use minis that much as I prefer the theatre of the mind. There are times when miniatures do help out the game, though, like helping to visualise a complicated melee fought over new terrain. Player handouts play a similar role. You may not use them very often but […]

What is International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day?

April 21, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day is quite the mouthful. It began in response to some derogatory comments made by Howard V. Hendrix. Hendrix believed that professional writers should never give their work away for free. He said that doing so online made someone into a “webscab”, which he defined as a “pixel-stained technopeasant wretch”. This caused […]
