[Buy at Think Geek] This mold makes for one impressive d20 – some 2.4″ in diameter which is enough to freeze about 4 oz of whatever you’re capable of freezing. Think Geek estimates it’ll take you about 5 to 6 hours to freeze that much water. They also point out the cast is oven-safe up […]

Supergroup fun: A review of the Sentinels of the Multiverse
I really didn’t know what to expect when I opened up the colourful Sentinels of the Multiverse but I was cautious. It looked full on from the outset. The box promised a cooperative superhero card game and, oh boy, does it provide cards. Loads of cards. So many cards that my supply of rubber bands took […]
Odd seems to be attractive: Far Away Land RPG
[Back this Campaign] I’ve a feeling that Simian Circle Games won’t think too poorly of me for describing the Far Away Land RPG as odd. It’s most certainly odd. If you’re not able to watch the video right now then you have snails rising up to use lasers to defend the land from demon-like creatures. […]
Dungeons & Dragons Yoga creates new positions
D&D Yoga is the creation of Scott Wayne Indiana. He spent a weekend at an ashram, taking part in yoga and guided meditations when the idea came to him to blend the two. Why not listen to a guided narrative while doing yoga? The next step was to involve some interaction and so Dungeons and […]

The winner will get their hands on 2000 points of Horus Heresy-era Iron Hands, a Badger Airbrush setup and a lot more. The models have been donated by Chaos Mail Order, the bases […]
Shadows of Esteren wows Kickstarter with Tuath
One of my favourite RPGs to come to me via Kickstarter is Shadows of Esteren. There have been some really great RPGs made possible by Kickstarter but I hold up Esteren as iconic for two reasons. Firstly, this is an RPG that would probably never have left France and been made available in English without […]
Explosive stuff: A review of the Realmsound Project
It took a pair of Kickstarters, but the Realmsound Project is now well underway and even generating coverage from the likes of the Orange County Register. The goal was to create a soundboard and plenty of audio for GMs, DMs, Keepers, Storytellers and the evil one behind the screen to use to add atmosphere to […]
TradeCraft Bonus: Tabletop chests, rugs and dungeon features
Do you use miniatures in your RPGs? Do you use them to help make sense of melee? Or perhaps to assist the imagination? Over on Etsy, CicadaCrafts has a collection of tabletop terrain that does both. I’m not a huge fan of models in my gaming. I prefer to let imagination have almost total control […]
The science of the Catanosphere: Settlers of Catan globe
This is a remarkable Instructable. That’s right; if you want to build this then the instructions are online, 16 steps in all, a lot of work but a truly impressive game of Settlers of Catan at the end. How does it work? Magnets. You guessed right. Hundreds and hundreds of magnets. Why build it? As […]
