Pathfinder outsells Dungeons and Dragons

August 8, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 10 Comments

You may have noticed that Paizo’s Pathfinder line went toe to toe with Wizards of the Coast in the ENnies. Paizo’s Bestiary 2 beat WotC’s Monster Vault in the Best Monster/Adversary group, Pathfinder: Inner Sea World Guide beat WotC’s Dark Sun Campaign Setting in Best Setting and in fan’s choice for best publisher; Paizo Publishing […]

D&D song: Tonight

August 5, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a rather fetching song. It has charisma. It’s cute. It’s about D&D. Our singer songwriter is an actual D&D player who writes that she’s used the game to detach herself from aspects of real life. I think escapism is a healthy reason to roll the die. I also think this song needs a […]

RAGE story video

August 5, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Have a watch of this video. It’ll introduce you to Bethesda Softwork’s Rage. It’s a shooter but we’re hoping for Bethesda’s typical storytelling style. The video is over two minutes long. It’s a mini-story. It’s actually an ad. I think Bethesda ae being bold and confident in pushing out such an advert. I supect this […]

A good, long, hard look at the Diablo III gameplay

August 3, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

The PR people are calling this 7 minute plus video of Diablo III the “Beta roll”. Who am I to second guess them? ALthough, peeps, it would have been good to get the file to little fan blogs like Geek Native within 48 hours of sharing it with some of the bigger players. What this […]

RPG powerhouse Fantasy Flight Games has today announced that they’ve secured the license for Star Wars. The deal with Lucasfilm gives them the worldwide rights for card games, miniature games and RPGs for the entire Star Wars universe. There’s no specific mention of the internet.

Aeria’s Perfect World trailer

July 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Perfect World is a MMORPG from Aeria Games. The company has been producing these sexy cinematic videos for the game… which I don’t think relate to the visual aspects of the game itself but add to the mythology and look cool. Will this blogger post a video just because it looks cool? Yes. Yes he […]

Kinect Star Wars – Cool? Cheese? Crepe?

July 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I suspect this video will divide people. It shows the new Star Wars game for the Xbox 360. It’s a game that you can play with your hands, without a controller and so it means you can do the lightsaber swings yourself or control an X-Wing. I suspect the Star Wars franchise will be a […]

Munchkin Axe Cop trailer video

July 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You read the title right. There is a Munchkin Axe Cop mashup coming. There is a trailer video for it. How’s this for a concept? There are monsters. Lots of them. Axe Cop has an axe. He cuts the heads off these monsters. I know. It’s a challenge to get your head around. It may […]
