Is it hard keeping up to date with the convention scene? I find it a challenge. There are some giant gaming conventions in the States and then Wizard World runs a host of comic cons. In the UK there are still some dominant conventions but I find the landscape is much more fragmented. Luckily, gamer […]

Devil Lord class: A review of Trinity Seven
I rather liked the look of Trinity Seven from the preview Geek Native posted back in 2015 but watching it left me uncertain. The premises is kinda cool. Arata Kasuga finds himself in a world of trouble after a magical apocalypse happens and it is probably his fault. In fact, the very world we have now […]
Tell me about your character
A funding principle of Geek Native is that tabletop gamers care about more than just their character. We’re not all dweebs who’ll force a three hour epic ‘And my character did this’ story on you if you let your guard down. That said… Nameless PCs might have a point with this one.
28 of the best DnD Memes
DnD Memes is a popular and well run Facebook page. It has over 350,000 likes, an impressive tally for any RPG site, and sells merch over at D20 Collective. At least there’s some sort of connection between the two entities; sponsorship, perhaps. Both are worth checking out. DnD Memes often posts funny RPG pictures that […]
Doctor Who: BBC releases a regenerated The Power of the Daleks
Doctor Who fans know that the BBC destroyed early Doctor Who episodes. The sci-fi series is so old it comes from a time in which no one thought to preserve things. It sounds like madness today. The Power of the Daleks is one such collection of Doctor Who stories. Until now it was gone entirely; […]
Overwatch: If Hanzo was a woman…
We’ve seen some great Overwatch cosplay but now it’s time to shake things up. Step forward cosplayer Rinrin! You can see plenty more of Rinrin’s cosplay gallery over at her Weibo site but the photos we have for you today as of a Rule 63 Hanzo. In time we’ll genderswap each of the Overwatch characters […]
RPGCrossing’s ork glyph shirts for happiness and community
Here’s a good idea. 40,000 strong RPG community (wow, that’s huge) RPGCrossing.com is raising money for mental health through an Indiegogo campaign to get some Ork Glyph shirts made. Backing the project means you’re donating to charity, buying a t-shirt and getting access to a PDF bundle worth over $20. Check out the campaign here. […]
Dennis Qiu’s Cerberus
Dennis Qiu frequently creates incredible LEGO monsters and beasts. Pop over to his Flickr stream to share the full gallery of photographs and builds. A highlight for me came early in 2016 when Dennis put together this Cerberus. Check out the chains for details.
A dark future: The art of Mitchell Mohrhauser
Mitch Mohrhauser is a fantastic concept artist. He’s worked for CCP before on titles like EVE: Online and World of Darkness and is currently a freelance at Square Enix. He shares his art on Facebook and, very rarely, on his blog. The sample gallery below shows a dark future where robots are casting a shadow […]
Princess Peach Borderlands cosplay
Borderlands makes for popular cosplay as the characters and style are so memorable. If you’ve not played Borderlands then you won’t have seen the toon-like graphics, a computer game that feels as if it’s straight out of a well illustrated graphic novel, rather than trying to be a movie. We’re waiting on news of Borderlands […]
