January 4, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is the tenth and the final offering for Famous Last Words Friday. Hope you’ve had a chuckle at all the things characters have said just before they suddenly reached hit points zero.

Tunnels & Trolls goes Deluxe with Kickstarter

January 4, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Another RPG Kickstarter of note. This time it’s Tunnels & Trolls and this game really does have a strong claim to fame. It was the second RPG published in the States and it beat Dungeons & Dragons to print in the UK. It’s older than this blogger; as it was first published in 1975. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/994700393/deluxe-tunnels-and-trolls/ […]

Picture this… Vampire: The Masquerade LARP group adopts highway

January 3, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a highway in northern Virginia and it’s been adopted by a Vampire: The Masquerade LARP club. I think this is pretty cool though I’m not sure it follows the Masquerade very closely!

Fan-made Robotech live action trailer

January 3, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There is no Robotech live action, that I’m aware of, but this juicy fan-made trailer shows you clearly what it might look like. There are certainly plenty of Robotech anime movies. Mankind uses technology claimed from a crashed alien starship to design mecha, transformable mechs, to help fight off not one – but three – […]
