Freaky: skull photographs to scare your players

August 29, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

These photos are real and not manipulated. They show something natural and normal – the exfoliation of teeth. This is something we all understand; children lose their teeth and the new tooth pushes up from beneath. However, what we don’t think about very much in the process of storing the new tooth underneath the old […]

Lovecraft horror RPG tremulus slaughters goals

August 28, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

[Pledge here] Tremulus (actually, I think the branding demands lower case t – tremulus) has a storytelling RPG Kickstarter project. We’ve seen some large projects in recent days but tremulus is at the other end of the evolutionary scale – asking for only $5,000. The result? At the time of posting, tremulus has slaughtered its […]

The Peturbed Dragon: EN World’s Morrus launches web series

August 28, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Russell Morrissey, known to many as Morrus from EN World, has launched a web series. It’s called The Petrubed Dragon, we’re a few episodes in and so far we’ve commentary (with a twist) on some gamer sterotypes. The second episode features a “my GM wouldn’t…” visiting player. We all know those. The twist? In The […]

Cubicle 7 announce Kuro: The Spirits Have Awoken

August 28, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLYfaNLHExQ Kuro is a new game – presumed RPG – from Cubicle 7. It’s a game that blends the Japanese horror style with a dark and near future. Cubicle 7 have experience in this area as they already produce Qin The Waring States. They also cite Yggdrasill – a Norse mythology game and Kelita – […]

Wii U launches November 18 [rumour]

August 27, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It feels like an age since Nintendo announced their next generation console. Their console, the Wii U, would step back into the console-power game albeit not in a crazy way and rather than a Wii-mote as the clever new feature made use of a controller that also had a screen. The jury is out as […]

Who actually created D&D? A Dungeons and Dragons documentary

August 27, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This video is a trailer for a Dungeons & Dragons documentary. I think it looks pretty good. It’s a complex story – even around apparently simple questions like; “Who actually created D&D?” https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andrewpascal/dungeons-and-dragons-a-documentary This is not a completed documentary though. It may never be finished. There’s a Kickstarter project for it with pledges beginning at […]

Free to Download: HackMaster Basic

August 27, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

HackMaster was first published in 2001 and began life as a parody of D&D. It was the game played by the characters of Jolly R. Blackburn’s Knights of the Dinner Table. It’s not that much of a parody any more, with complete and original rules and set in the Kingdoms of Kalamar. Kenzer & Company, […]

The Litany of Dagon scroll

August 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

How’s this for a LARP prop? The seller, Hawanja, describes the prop as something for a Cthulhu LARP. Do you know of any Lovecraft live action games? It doesn’t matter. This scroll, made from heavy cardstock and then treated to age it, is good enough to be a breathtaking handout in a tabletop Cthulhu game. […]

Zaphats and augmented reality clothing for LARPs

August 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Augmented reality clothing brands, like Zappar, certainly aren’t restricted to making fashion to be adapted by LARPers. I suspect, for now, they may be restricted to fashion for geeks though. What a piece of AR clothing does is transform, on screen, when viewed with the right app. The best way to describe it is to […]
