Which anime would you recommend to friends and fellow roleplayers? In Irregular Reconnaissance I run through some of the series I’ve been watching in a collection of mini-reviews. There are no spoilers, just a little description of what’s going on and what I either like or dislike. We’d love to have your anime advice in the […]

Highlighting a specific entry from the archives, on 5th July 2014 Andrew Girdwood shared a story summarised as "This featurette looks pretty slick. It looks like the team is pretty confident in the genre and how to tell interesting stories with it. As a result they're not shying away from the powers.". It also was tagged with Superhero Week.
Dive deeper into Andrew Girdwood's coverage and reviews.
Superhero Week: Mike Mahle’s Justice League Series
Mike Mahle draws superheroes and sirens with bold colours and brave lines. It’s a style I adore and so encourage you to stalk his Facebook and admire his Deviant Art. The images below are part of his Justice League series. He manages to make them look far more interesting than some of the official covers […]
Superhero Week: The Order of X
Nate Hallinan is a concept artist who has worked in video games, films and range of other media. He created The Order of X as an X-Men meets Tolkien fantasy mashup of characters.

Trolling computer RPGs: Choose a name
This prompt might seem familiar if you’ve ever played a computer RPG in which you’ve been able to name your character. You might be told something like this; Choose a name for your character. Choose wisely, as it can’t be changer later. Of course… roleplayers don’t often take well to the word can’t and that […]
Superhero Week: Behind the scenes at The Flash pilot episode
This is almost painful to post. I’m still waiting for Arrow season 2 to appear on Amazon Instant Video or Netflix in the UK. It’s Arrow which introduces Flash. Meanwhile, there’s no news as to whether The CW has signed a license deal to take The Flash to the UK. That’s painful because this featurette […]
Magic the Gathering turned into card art
A geek with art skill at level 10! Panovanator’s tumblr is full of impressive art. These Magic the Gathering cards are just one post; the result of a causual “Hey, let’s try this” idea. They look incredible. I think my favourite is the Planes card. The Magic: The Gathering feel is still there. You can […]
Superhero Week: Femme Robin cosplay
Cosplayer Alice In The TARDIS has transformed Batman’s sidekick into a petticoat wearing girl. This Robin Lolita cosplay even has a little bow at the waist. Here’s the question. If Robin looks like this… what would Batman look like? Like this post? It might win you an Amazon voucher in this year’s Superhero Week competition. […]
Superhero Week: King Hulk collectible
[Product Page] Marvel’s King Hulk is a premium model from Slideshow Collectibles. This is Hulk from the World War Hulk series, after he’s been exiled to the alien world of Sakaar and fought his way through the ranks of gladiators. The model is 28″ high, 19″ wide and 14″ long which gives it a weight […]
Adventure Awaits: A review of the Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set
Wizards of the Coast have made the Basic Rules for D&D 5e available for free in PDF form. That’s great news for gamers but the document is bare bones, without illustration, and it could be argued such a presentation isn’t for beginners. If you’re curious about D&D, have no previous experience in the hobby but […]
Superhero Week: The Posthuman Project
The Posthuman Project looks awfully good for an Indie Superhero Film. It’s a tough genre to crack; you’ve got the budget for special effects, you need actors who can pull it off and characters that viewers actually care about. The powers need to be catchy while not distracting from the plot. The Posthuman Project asks […]
