It’s worth finding seven minutes of your life to watch this fan. The writer / director is James Farr, the lead animator is Nathan Glemboski and both are likely to pick up additional work off the back of this project. While this is a visual masterpiece I’m not sure what they’re using Pac-Man for down […]

Fire sword fight
This fight isn’t suitable for LARP but it’s still awfully cool. Wait, no, strike that – cool is the wrong word to use. This is a flaming sword fight, carefully practised but still dangerous. I think this video will get a spike in views as we approach some of the flaming sword scenes in Game […]
Encounter idea: the puzzle table
This is a real life “secret table”. Artist Kagen Schaefer took four years to complete this commission but when you see the demo you’ll understand why. The concept may appeal to GMs looking for encounter ideas beyond looking into treasure chests. It strikes me that a diplomats desk could well have something like this and […]
Jenga master
It’s not often this blog posts videos of actual gameplay – especially when we’re talking about a classic game like Jenga rather than a wargame or something similar. This video shows a bunch of friends playing Jenga as one of them attempts an impossible move. Question: was that move legal?
Alien art in London
Drawing inspiration from Alien and encouraged by the Prometheus movie that’s on its way artists have treated Great Eastern Street in London with some impressive alien visuals. In a blog post the art company, End of the Line, explain the painting is done in the Samurai Painting style, one that puts the focus on movement […]

It’s also worth noting that Arthur Darvill and Karen Gillan will be with the show for 5 episodes too. These photographs from the Atlantic Wharf, in Cardiff, are from expert Who set […]
Does the new, free, Mass Effect 3 DLC tease at new game?
This blogger hasn’t yet got to the end of Mass Effect. No spoilers. No worry. What is known that many – not all, but many – gamers were not happy with the ending of the game. Others are less than happy that the ‘best’ ending can only be achieved with substantial multiplayer commitment. BioWare have […]

The free-to-play game is described as; Fast-paced, Hack ‘n’ Slash, PvP Fighting with Mature Content for Core Gamers in the announcement.

Support gamer art: The Prismatic Art Collection
Yes, I know… another Kicktstarter project. There’s a twist with this one though; this is a project to produce gamer art for you. The project from Tracy Hurley and Daniel Solis will be released under Creative Commons License. That means you can use the pictures they hope to generate in your own RPG. You could […]
Oh! Hai Khaleesi: A Game of Dragons
I love deviant artist Pika-la-Cynique’s Game of Thrones meets How to Train Your Dragon inspired art. I’m pretty sure I’d prefer to meet Toothless rather than any of Danny’s dragons.
