Diamonsteel Comics introduce Saltire as Scotland’s first superhero and given the red headed, beardy chap with big boots and blue skin it seems pretty clear to me which nation he represents. Like many national pride issues; Saltire looks backwards in history and to about 125 AD when the Roman Empire had control of much of […]

Wizards without Coats: Furry
Not really an insult, though. < PreviousWizards without Coats[The End] Rakshasa or whatever, he’s still a furry. This is the last in the current series of Wizards without Coats. As it turns out, it could also be the first in a new series of Famous Last Words. The Rakshasa isn’t a demon lord one […]
You ready, rookie? A review of Dredd: Underbelly
2000 AD’s Dredd: Underbelly is a first. It is the only official comic book sequel to the Judge Dredd movie that featured Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby. Not only is this the first official comic book sequel it is the first time that 2000 AD has done a US-format comic book direct to market. It’s […]
Pick your side: Knight & Dragon review
Knight & Dragon is a full colour comic book with a twist from Improper Books. The bar was set high by Improper in 2013 with Butterfly Gate – a “silent” sci-fi that threw a brother and sister into a tough sci-fantasy world. Knight & Dragon is also “silent”. That’s to say there’s no written dialogue; […]
Wizards without Coats: Graffiti
Graffiti artists would have a harder time in a fantasy world. < PreviousWizards without CoatsNext > Next time you want to leave graffiti on a wall, make sure its not from the Wizards book. The pen is mightier than the sword. That’s not always true in RPGs, especially when looking at damage bonuses. However, […]
An interview with the Robot Slayer Vincent Kamp
Robotslayer is both an illustrated childrens’ book and iOS app. What’s the target age group for the book and how old would kid need to be before being trusted on the app? I think age 6 or 7 is probably the key age where the kids can start to really identify with the characters and […]
Wizards without Coats: Random
You know when you know! < PreviousWizards without CoatsNext > Oh, let me guess, random encounter? Hey, GM! Are you a fan of random encounter tables? How do you handle them? Do you have a random encounter table for each type of location? Do you apply situational modifiers? Coincidence checks? Are your random encounter […]
Irregular Reconnaissance: Comic Books #5
It’s been a busy month of comic book reading for me. For the most part this is made possible by a shiny new Nexus 7 tablet (hmm, comics in HD) and the inability to sleep. I wonder if the two are connected? In Irregular Reconnaissance I take the chance to write up some of these […]
Wizards without Coats: Flames
If it works for Orks… < PreviousWizards without CoatsNext > Ah, the Black Knight, you got your armor redone, Flames, huh? No harm in adding a bit of decoration to your armour, right? You could add a design that makes you seem more fierce and scary – a good battle tactic. You could have […]
Irregular Reconnaissance: Comic Books #4
More comic book goodness? That’s right; they come thick and fast – although like the title of this column Irregular Reconnaissance sometimes the publishing schedule does seem a little irregular. In this catch up I offer my untalented, non-obsessive, comic book fan view into the series I’m currently splashing the cash on. Do you agree […]
