As he lifts the vessel he discovers his fingers have wrapped around a thing of horror and beauty, a tentacled jug with […]
Say what? A 3D-printed talking d20
Tabletop gaming is a hugely accessible hobby as the most important ability is your imagination. That said, those with visual difficulties aren’t always fond of dice heavy systems with hard to read dice. Wouldn’t it be cool if your d20 spoke, out aloud, the number it had just rolled?

Wonder Woman in battle armour cosplay
This clever cosplay is the work of kelldar. She’s been cosplaying for 15+ years and earns plenty more geekcred by having a thing for Star Wars, comic books and Doctor Who.
