This isn’t a scene from D&D Next. This is a wedding cake. Created by Mike’s Amazing Cakes is geek grub that could only have been ordered by +5 geeks. I call roleplayers. I also tip my hat to an incredible wedding cake idea.

A Game of Drones
Okay, call it A Game of StarCraft if you want – as creator Tolkfan does. I accept that puts both origins in the name but I mourn the loss of the thrones/drones rhyme. I’m sure quite a lot of RTS gamers watched the title sequence to a Game of Thrones, as the buildings rose from […]

Black Crown: Two billion dollar publisher moves into gaming
Random House describe Black Crown as their first move into gaming. It is a move that reflects the publisher recognising digital trends and looking for new platforms to share stories on. According to Wikipedia, Random House had revenues last year of €2.142 billion. That’s about US $2.7 billion and it means a significant new publisher […]
Call of Cthulhu takes the 7th edition to Kickstarter
[Back this Campaign] The video above isn’t the Kickstarter pitch video for the project. There’s no such video. There’s an image header instead which you can see below. The video was actually quite important though. It helped convince me that this wasn’t a fake Kickstarter project. There’s no mention of the pitch on Chaosium’s homepage […]
A hands on review of the Acer Iconia A1
The first way the Iconia A1 impressed me was with the battery life. The Android tablet had a sliver of power in it when I wrestled it out of its wrapper and out of its box. I was in a busy hotel bar, totally unable to get near a power point, but that sliver of […]
Short film: From the Future with Love
Imagine a Robocop-like future where the police have become privatised. You’ll have well equipped officers prowling the streets looking to protect their insurance paying clients. It might be sold a bit like car insurance and breakdown cover; with ads telling you how quickly the police can get to you. In director K-Michel Parandi’s vision you’ll […]
How to serve scary drinks during your horror RPG – the ice scream
The Death Star ice cubes are a popular discovery on Geek Native. They ideal for drinks with any Star Wars game or while watching the movie. That’s great… unless you’re watching horror or playing a Cthulhu RPG. If you’re playing a horror game then is there a way you can add some spook factor to […]
Fantastic Doctor Who companions poster
This image from Morgane Parisi, a French freelancer living in Greece, charts all of the Doctor’s companions from 1963 to 2013. I think Parisi has done a great job but she humbly concedes she missed off character’s like Rose’s father, Stormageddon, Nefertiti and John Ridell as well as a few from 11. I’m sure they […]
