Is this spider monster too scary for any LARP?

January 26, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This blogger asked the question Are Air Swimmers any good LARPs?. The answer seems to be no. They’re too fragile. Oh, I suppose a clever team of GMs could have a shark swim through the air as a very clever effect. This video is attempt 2. TD Artwork has just finished creating a very large […]

NeverDead teasers

January 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The hero is Bryce Boltzman who was cursed with enternal life after daring to challenge the Demon King once before. The game is expected to play heavily on the “can’t die” aspect for Byrce – look to him using his own limbs as clubbing weapons, or throwing his gun holding hand into a pile of monsters and then pulling the tigger and he may even throw his head up onto a roof…

Don’t show the players: Archers are fast

January 24, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Did someone tell you that the problem with archers is that they’re a bit slow? Do you have game mechanics that insist you’ll spend one round firing an arrow and another around knocking the next one? That sounds familiar to me. This looks like a video that your GM didn’t want you to see. Russian […]

Fantastic Star Wars Galaxy teaser pictures

January 23, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

One of my favourite animators and illustrators is Patrick Schoenmaker from the Netherlands. He manages to score some desirable gigs and is often kind enough to share some teasers via his blog. Check out these illustrations from the animated Army of Darkness series as an example. Schoenmaker has been working on Topps’ Star Wars Galaxy […]

January 20, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Did you imagine Sega would return to the hardware business and start building consoles again? Okay. Perhaps you did… for the sake of argument let’s say you did.
