Downloading and extracting PDF RPGs!

January 31, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I wrote this back in 2001. Back then, nearly 10 years ago, I think it was helpful. The article really did serve as an introduction to PDFs and RPG ebooks for many Wyrdlings. It looks a little out of date now – for example, it suggests many gamers are using Internet Explorer. Heh! No. Not […]

Find Time For Time

January 31, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

This tosh was written for GameWyrd waaay back in 2001. There was some crud reason why the site needed something that looked like an academic essay on RPGs or something which explains the rush job in putting it live – nevertheless; I still maintain you can put all sorts of wonderful mythology/world goodies into a […]

So, you’re thinking about starting a RPG site?

January 31, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

This was written right at the start of 2001. Some of it was useful. Some of it was a shameless ploy to direct readers into a choice that would only benefit me! Me! ME! Muahaha! Nevertheless; despite the mercenary tactics I still find it interesting that GameWyrd was set up to be geeky and a […]

Wizards and Star Wars part company; a deeper look

January 31, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

One of the big announcements this week was that Wizards of the Coat would no longer be producing the Star Wars Miniatures and RPG. The news, often rumoured, was made official via the Wizards’ forums by moderator and employee WotC_BigGuy. First off, let me slip my marketing hat on and say that using the forums […]

Doctor Who computer games are on the way

January 30, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The BBC’s turning the corner on two fronts; it’s getting back into games production and its going to allow Doctor Who to be included in the new generation. The Beeb canned their game making multimedia division in 2005 and haven’t done anything since. They’ve also been extremely protective of the Doctor Who license and we’ve […]

Vertigo’s The Losers gets a trailer

January 30, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Losers is a DC Comics/Vertigo comic book written by Andy Diggle. It follows a small group of military experts who’re set up by their mysterious handler Max and pretty much end up at war with the CIA. It features Jeffrey Dean Morgan who, of course, was Edward Blake / The Comedian in the Watchmen […]

Lots more Alice in Wonderland stuff; art & music

January 30, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

On the plus side we’ve got some new art and shots from Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. On the negative side we’ve also got the Avril Lavigne song “Alice” from the movie. Don’t get me wrong. My music taste is miles wide and I’m big and ugly enough to say what i like. I have liked […]

Busty bust: Black Cat Bust

January 30, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Imagine this in your room? I think if you had a larger collection you could easily get away with this Black Cat bust; also after certain movies come out and she may be more well known. The truth is; no matter how good the artwork is on this bust, people will notice the bust.

This geek likes the look of Demonic

January 29, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m sure Paul’s blood may curdle; who’s to know except Paul but this geek likes the look of TopCow’s Demonic. Of course, TopCow is well known in this flat for its excellent rendition of the anime Witchblade. It took a T&A comic and did something better with it. Not got my hands on Demonic at […]

I’m a hat. On a cat. Best Looking for Group joke…

January 29, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Best Looking for Group joke… in ages. Not since “For Pony!” has Richard been so droll. This is a micro-review of the gaming comic sensation that is Looking for Group. What began as a gamer comic designed to reflect on MMOs quickly grew legs, took its independance and started the fan machine. A lot of […]
