Part TARDIS, part dalek and part dress
Here’s cosplay worthy of Gallifrey – although the subject might worry those Time Lords.

The photography is by CONography who, as the name suggests, specialise in convention based photography.
Retro sci-fi as Boiling Point serve up more posters
Creative group Boiling Point have taken to Etsy and expanded their range of fan posters. In the past I’ve rather liked Boiling Point’s Shogun Warrior collection.

The fires of marzipan Smaug
This little Smaug is a dragon made from marzipan and who has made his home an small hill of chocolate soufflé. I love the little on candles. This is a marzipan dragon that breathes fire. Via Caracal Feathers.
Cyberpunk RPG soundtracks kickstarter
[Back this Campaign] This is a RPG campaign that gets to use the word retrofuturistic in the pitch. It’s the project by an artist called Strangelette who suggests her mind might be akin to The Addams Family taking on a 3D role-playing game. The pitch is to provide soundtracks for roleplaying games. We’re talking Shadowrun, […]
The creation of Dungeons & Dragons: The Great Kingdom
http://vimeo.com/85059163 This is the trailer for the documentary The Great Kingdom that follows the creation of Dungeons & Dragons. It’s about the great work of Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson… and then the troubles with TSR. I think the trailer looks pretty compelling. It’s just a few minutes long and seems to promise an interesting […]
