Numenera goes on pre-order with big discount

May 3, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Monte Cook’s latest setting Numenera has the weight of the world on it. The RPG was announced last year, after Cook had quit the DnD Next project.

The Walking Droids

May 3, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This design hits the spot. Okay, it’s a spot far far away from the humdrum and mainstream life style but it’s still a spot. This is a Star Wars meets the Walking Dead spot. Rather than having two armless zombies on a rope, this clever Jawa has two armless droids. Hence: The Walking Droids. These […]

Review of Cerberus Stock Art: Zero One Three

May 2, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

  As a gamer, a GM and an RPG blogger I have one constant challenge – art. I can’t write very well but at least I can write. I can knock out blog posts, curate content and share my opinions in reviews. I can’t draw though. I’d struggle to craft a stickman figure. If I […]

Doctor Who: What is Trenzalore?

May 2, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

… on the Fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the Eleventh, when no creature can speak falsely or fail to answer, a question will be asked — a question that must never be answered: “Doctor Who?” The quote comes from the blue skinned Dorium Maldovar. He is the 52th century trader who sold a […]

Frighteningly good female orc warrior cosplay

May 2, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This incredible orc cosplay, a frighteningly good female warrior, was created by Lagueuse. The sisters in arms also manage an etsy store if you wish to join the ranks of the armour clad. It’s worth paying attention to the fine detail in this suit. The pot marks, the scars, the shine and tarnish. The orc […]

The real life, handmade, Dead Space plasma cutter

May 2, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Laser Gadgets are at it again. They’ve appeared before on Geek Native, including this impressive WristBow, but with this Dead Space model Priebe takes it up a notch. The video is typical Priebe in style. There’s no backing track – but it’s not silent, listen out for the sound the cutter’s system makes as it […]

A hands on review of the Xperia Tablet Z

May 2, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Let’s talk about the specs later. It’s not the technical capabilities on Sony’s 10.1” tablet that grab your attention when you pick up the Xperia Tablet Z. What you notice is the size. This tablet feels very light. It’s very slim. I think this is important. In discussions with geeks who have tried to go […]

It’s Tinkerbell gone all steampunk

May 2, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Who turned Tinkerbell on to steampunk? It was Firefly Path. JoEllen has a knack for stunning creative craft and all of a sudden I’m wondering why I’ve never seen a steampunk Tinkerbell before. It makes so much sense! Via Epbot.
