From the New World is set one thousand years in the future. It’s a future in which civilisation has retreated to small communities that are run by the elite few with telekinesis.
Haunted woods to terrify your players
Haunted forests and woods are common in old stories because villagers had every reason to discourage children from straying too far or had actually become suspicious of something sinister going on in. In a game it can be much harder to convey the same creepy feeling that dark and oddly silent woods can conjure up […]
The Royal Armouries buys vampire-slaying kit
The Royal Armouries is a museum in Leeds, United Kingdom. Last week, the Royal Armouries made the news by spending £7,500 on an 19th century vampire-slaying kit. The £7,500 isn’t a large amount of money for a museum to spend but the purchase itself was interesting. The 19th centuary is rather late on the millenium […]
The Wimoweh (In The Jungle) Borderlands 2 trailer
I’d describe Borderlands as having an interesting blend of cheeky violence with brutal survivalism humour. The Wimoweh trailer reassures me that 2K Games and Gearbox have everything in hand.

Real life elephant wooden steampunk elephant mecha!
The title of this post is “Real life elephant wooden steampunk elephant mecha” to which my only comment can be; “No! Really!” French artists François Delarozière and Pierre Orefice have built, from wood and metal, a working, elephant shaped mecha that snorts steam. It’s the most surreal and the most artistic mecha you’re likely to […]
