Two Doctor Who trailers in one day. We had Vastra Investigates today, nearly three minutes long, and now BBC America have released this shorter (and typical) trailer. This is the first trailer that doesn’t undermine Geek Native’s attempt to guess/work out the big villian in the episode (speculation/spoiler risk). There is a spooky voice, after […]

Did Flying Mice lead to a Better Mousetrap: An interview with Clash Bowley
Clash Bowley is the lead author and artist of the sci-fi RPG StarCluster, a host of supplements, the Blood Games Occult Horror RPG, Book of Jalan RPG and plenty others. These are games that I assocaite with Flying Mice Games but now see attributed to Better Mousetrap Games. Clash has kindly agreed to an interview […]
Second Star Trek Into Darkness trailer
The internet now has its collective hands – and eyes – on the second Star Trek Into Darkness trailer. No doubt people are looking for a Japanese version already to see if there are any added extras; like last time. This updated trailer includes the Khan-like hand gesture that was shown in “added extra” footage. […]
Making a Starman Christmas tree
This year some of the Geek Native team took a geeky approach to the Christmas tree. Let’s have a star on top. Let’s make this a famous geek star – let’s having a glowing Starman star. The first step was easy and fun – buying a Starman from Lime Llama on etsy. The second step […]
Doctor Who: The Snowmen prequel – Vastra Investigates
The BBC have released a trailer prequel to The Snowmen, the Doctor Who Christmas special, and it’s worth a watch. Have you gotten used to these micro-teasers from the Beeb? A few seconds of clips? You might be surprised by Vastra investigates – it’s over 2 minutes long, approaching 3 minutes. That compares very well […]
Garfield does Doctor Who
Garfield makes for a most unlikely dalek? The question is: has he solved the Monday problem?
5 pictures of Yog-Sothoth
This Christmas might be special to the great intelligence, to Yog-Sothoth, only time will tell. Just what does Yog-Sothoth look like? Can you behold Yog-Sothoth without the last of your sanity drooling out of your ears? Thankfully Pinterest is full of artistic renderings of the old one. Let’s take a look. (via) (via) (via) (via) […]
Trailer for Don’t Problem Children Come From an Alternate World?
This isn’t quite the same idea as the old Dungeons and Dragons cartoon but there’s an overlap. In Don’t Problem Children Come From an Alternate World? (Mondai-Ji-tachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru So Desu yo?) Izayoi Sakamaki opens an envelope and is transported to a mysterious new world. Izayoi discovers that two other “problem children” have […]
The Role-Playing Color Wheel
This is a tool for Gamemasters. It lets GMs add incidental colour to descriptions of the gaming world. At the start of each session, rotate the rings randomly to create new slices so that when you need to reference some colour you can pick a slice and use it for inspiration. The colour wheel was […]
Hellboy meets Peanuts
I’m a fan of Francesco Francavilla. We have creative ideas with near perfect execution. In this case we take two geeky areas; Hellboy and Peanuts, apparently miles apart and mash them together. The result makes the two competing art styles look like a perfect fit – although it’s the Hellboy story that wins through. The […]
