Victorian-era Baker Street RPG: The world of Sherlock Holmes

Baker Street from Kirby Young and Fearlight Games is set after the Reichenbach Falls encounter, when Sherlock is believed to be dead and yet cases […]
Hosting a gaming night? Serve your drinks with a critical hit
[Buy at Think Geek] This mold makes for one impressive d20 – some 2.4″ in diameter which is enough to freeze about 4 oz of whatever you’re capable of freezing. Think Geek estimates it’ll take you about 5 to 6 hours to freeze that much water. They also point out the cast is oven-safe up […]
The full Guardians of the Galaxy trailer
This isn’t the 20 second teaser that was released yesterday. The full Guardians of the Galaxy trailer was shown during Jimmy Kimmel Live and comes in at an impressive 2m30s. Let’s hope it doesn’t follow the rule of “the longer the trailer – the weaker the film”. A quick look at my Facebook feed suggests […]

I really didn’t know what to expect when I opened up the colourful Sentinels of the Multiverse but I was cautious. It looked full on from the outset. The box promised a cooperative superhero card game and, oh boy, does it provide cards. Loads of cards. So many cards that my supply of rubber bands took […]

Odd seems to be attractive: Far Away Land RPG
[Back this Campaign] I’ve a feeling that Simian Circle Games won’t think too poorly of me for describing the Far Away Land RPG as odd. It’s most certainly odd.
