Back in April Steve Jackson wrote; To make a long story short: I’d like to plow some Munchkin money back into the game hobby. The gaming guru was looking for games to buy. Stalwart Phil Reed was put in place to manage the process. It looks like David Blanchard, Brian Frodema and John Jacobsen’s Chupacabra: […]

Two Marvel movies a year and some surprises
This week Disney announced a new Marvel movie. We don’t know what it’ll be but has a US release date of July 8, 2016. Doctor Strange? Perhaps. Black Panther? Possible? The Inhumans? Oh, now you’re upping the ante! Can you imagine Marvel having a success of The Avengers and the Inhumans while DC still try […]
Is the Sony’s Xperia Z Ultra a gamers phone?
Geek Native follows phone tech because it touches on the lives of gamers around the world and because phones have become gaming platforms. This week there are rumours Google is developing an Android based gaming console. If that’s true Google will be late to the party with devices like the GameStick and the Ouya already […]
Lucky skull teapot for gamers
What do you drink when you game? I’ve gone through drinking litres of fizz, to booze and now onto tea. I’m British, it’s natural. That’s why I think this “lucky” teapot from Archie McPhee might have a home on the tables of some gamers. Who wouldn’t want this teapot watch closing as the dice roll […]
GM Inspiration: Wooden whale monsters
These pictures from the artist David Kemp inspire all sorts of GM and world building thoughts in me. He found two derelict cove-boats and joined them together to create the “Wooden Whaler”. I can imagine barbarian hordes spilling out from between the teeth of fantasy sized alternatives. What do you think?
Freaky or cute? Ewok hat
Here’s something you don’t see everyday – and some people would be thankful for that. This is an Ewok with cold dead eyes. No, wait, it’s an Ewok hat. Seems like a perfect way to keep your head warm, ping fellow geeks and perhaps scare off a few muggers. Yours for $40 from Etsy.
TARDIS bookcase
This is a good idea. I’ve too many books for my small flat, can’t bare to get rid of any but need somewhere to store them. What I need is a TARDIS bookcase! That’s what Morgan was able to document herself when she had one made.
The art of Aly Fell
Aly Fell is a Manchester based artist who’s worked at Cosgrove Hall. Best of best – he worked on Count Duckula and Dangermouse. He moved from traditional animation to photoshop and computer games. Aly notes he likes drawing winged things, spooky things, steampunk – especially steamgoth – and pin-ups. Check out his profile on CG […]
Wizards without Coats: Succubus
Some cheeky humour from V Shane here… or is it? Is our brave, Succubus slaying fighter, saying his wife is such a nag that he was scared out of the demon’s tempting ways? Or could he love his wife so much that the Succubus had no effect on him?
In case of ZOMBIES! (or work)
Which do you fear the most? Zombies or yard work? Actually, some of the implements in that collection look pretty scary to me! Via Instructables.
