The holy unholy terror of Pyramid Head in stained glass

December 19, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Stained glass always reminds me of churches and cathedrals. What about you? For me, stained glass therefore has implications of holy places and perhaps even protection. Fantasy gamers know all too well that if you’re on a retreat from an unholy terror then get onto sanctified soil. What’s why a stained glass display of Silent […]

Some of the greatest Orc inventors and exploreres from history and a concise list of their fine achievements. 1: ‘Urgrak Eek’ – Inventor of the […]

Support the RPG industry

September 7, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Google’s new Priority Inbox is digging up age old starred emails. It’s surfaced a campaign I tried to start in 2005 at GameWyrd. This was an anti-pirate campaign. A pro-RPG industry campaign. Back in 2005 – and today as well – I was upset at the number of authors who’d write a fantastic product for […]

The Battle Imp Gallery

April 24, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s not possible to play the Battle Imps any more (due leave a comment if you think its worth re-creating though). The original game simply randomly awarded you an imp with stats randomly generated between 1 and 10. Imps battled by rolling a d10 and adding that to a current stat. The imp which won […]

A guide to battle imps

April 24, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The battle imps were GameWyrd’s first viral hit. They launched with a small competition and a news article on GamingReport. The concept was really basic. Your name was used to generate random characteristics for a randomly selected battle imp. You then “battled” your imp against others by entering their name into the system. Guide / […]

Famous Last Words 13/15: Hey, what does this button do…?

April 17, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Are you used to playing in games where characters die often? Is re-rolling a frequent event? Or are you from a gaming group where there is fear of death but the end of character; the end of that story point, is a rare and significant event? Hopefully, no matter how you might answer the question […]
