The Hobbit is nearly here. We’re gearing up for Smaug the dragon. Geeks are re-watching their collection of Lord of the Rings. What better meal to nibble on during those Lord of the Rings marathons than dragon pizza. Wisely, dragon pizza isn’t topped with dragon meat and is shaped like a regal dragon instead. Via […]

Square Enix hunts the Final Fantasy super fan
Square Enix are on the lookout for the ultimate Final Fantasy super fan. The winner gets their name in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, two tickets for the Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concept in Paris next year and a goodie bag.

Dragon Warriors returns to print, hardback
Dragon Warriors was my first ever RPG (not counting the homebrew system a young-me invented with buckets of d6 and Star Wars figures!).

This Indiegogo campaign has funded, raising more than $10,000 but there’s still time left to contribute and qualify for a perk (at the time of posting).

Is there conflict between the ‘Gary Gygax Estate’ and new Gygax Magazine?
This may be a tricky story to cover and I suspect emotions are running high. Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson created Dungeons & Dragons. Most people consider D&D to be the original tabletop RPG and Gary Gygax to be its father. Gary sadly passed away in 2008, he had suffered from strokes in 2004 but […]
