Ah, that was a bit of a trick. Are all claw machines this sneaky? Effective, though, right? And all in the spirit of Christmas.

Privacy, affiliate links, games and sales. Hard work? The game part of that puzzle is worth at least $3bn to Asmodee.

The Road goes ever on and on: Lord of the Rings cartography shoes

December 17, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Why publish a Collection page with just one item? I suggest that Zavvi have more Lord of the Rings goodies to reveal in 2022.

Small Viking axe throwing game to tempt brave shoppers

December 16, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What’s a Small Viking? It’s undoubtedly a small game, those axes are tiny, and it’s actually the lack of space it takes up that interests me in it.

Dragon Map Maker: The promise of gorgeous and quick TTRPG battle maps

December 15, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We may be onto the next generation of cartography tools. The third generation of solutions supports multiple views and is smart enough to auto-populate the maps with sensible and context details.

How an indie manga writer stayed creative during lockdown

December 15, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Like the last couple years, this is a story that wasn’t in the plan! When the first lockdown came into effect, I was struggling both personally and business wise as the pandemic put an end to everything I had planned for the brand in 2020.

Viking your legs with these fantasy designs

Concept artist transforms Ducati Diavel into Kaneda’s motorbike from Akira

December 14, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s hard to name a more famous anime vehicle than Akira’s motorbike. Does the castle count in Howl’s Moving Castle? What about the flyer in Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind?
