In the Warhammer universe Slaanesh is the Chaos god of pleasure, passion and decadence. His aspects are lust, pride and self-indulgence. Given that Slaanesh is all about the dark side of pleasure… what would his future warriors look like? These conversions of Chaos Marines are all tentacles and tongues. These conversions were made by Nerdfest09 […]

Playing the Game: A Review of Purple Duck Storeroom – Arbakampsi
World creation can command a lot of time and attention to get real depth. Most people don’t really account for the minutiae and the ephemera – the little things and words that add colour and substances to a two-dimensional world. Then again, most GMs simply don’t have the time to worry about that level of […]
Golem Arcana attempts a whole new board game genre
[Back this Campaign] There’s an impressive pedigree of talent on this project. We’ve got Jordan Weisman at the helm. He’s already help create BattleTech, Shadowrun, Earthdawn as well as the click base concept you see for MageKnight and Heroclix. Harebrained Schemes have had some serious Kickstarter success in the past. Is Golem Arcana a step […]
TradeCraft Bonus: Make money from your D&D sessions
How’s this for an idea? Take pictures of your D&D session (or Pathfinder, 13th Age, etc) and sell the prints online. This is what Brandi Miller Art is doing.

I Want to Believe: A Review of Moon Dust Men
Trail of Cthulhu has been effectively and efficiently stepping on Call of Cthulhu‘s coattails for a short while now, offering a take on Lovecraft’s unfathomable and otherworldly horror that offers a fresh approach. While Call of Cthulhu‘s percentile system had a tendency to make or break situations where you could kill a trail stone cold […]
Icy Winds and Mighty Thews: A Review of Citadel Beyond the North Wind
Heroic fantasy encapsulates that slice of fantasy that embraces excitement, sword play and a measure of high camp, in my opinion. The genre never seeks to mirror reality, venturing instead into impossible and impractical matters of magic and the supernatural. Here swords glisten with the gore of a hundred minions, and villains, often otherworldly in […]
Kawaii dragons and beasties to keep your dice safe
The Dragons and Beasties Etsy shop warns that it usually empty because creations sell out very quickly. As I write this blog post there’s nothing for sale. The good news is that Becca Golins’ archives her fantastic work at her Deviant Art page. This blogger has subscribed to the Etsy RSS. Never bought from Etsy […]
They Might Be…: A Review of AGE Bestiary – Giants
Giants have been an frequent and diverse threat in movies and TV over the last few years – whether the engineers of Prometheus, the Frost Giants of Thor, the trolls from Lord of the Rings, or Hodor from A Game of Thrones (okay, Hodor might not be a threat to most, but you still don’t […]
A look inside: Batman – Arkham City Escape board game
Is it too early to be thinking of Christmas gifts? Perhaps we should concentrate on the matter at hand – escaping Arkham City prison. The board game Batman: Arkham City Escape is a two player game, with the playing board a large area of a walled-off section of the Arkham City prison. One player acts as […]
