It’s not all that common to find complete cosplay outfits on sale at Etsy. However, this impressive and very scary cybernetic demon warlord can be yours for just shy of $2,000. The suit has been on sale for a little while without any buyers and despite this being a complete work of art I think […]

December 30, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Sometimes a single image can sum up a whole, complex, idea. In this case Keh Choon has an illustration of Han Solo and Chewbacca that says Tim Burton. Will we see Tim Burton produce any of the new Star Wars movies? I doubt it… but you never know.

December 29, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A DM sits down to brainstorm his ideas for tomorrow’s campaign. It starts to go downhill from there. There’s a little bit of swearing too.
