August 8, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Marvel have been pumping out plenty of teasers for S.H.I.E.L.D. and I suspect the American network carrying the show, ABC, are helping too. Here’s two more. Agent Coulson gathers his team from across the US to investigate the growing number of superheroes. This is a Joss Whedon (Jed too) project and it’s hard to see […]

Wizards without Coats: Vampire

August 7, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Really? When did Vampires get groupies? What a drag! This is the dangers of making vampires seem sexy and popular. The zombiebox broadcast system (aka; the TV) has made the bloodsuckers a favourite of teen fans all across the kingdoms. This gives adventurers a whole new problem!

August 7, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Every now and then I look at a new RPG and ask myself whether, in the future, all RPGs will be like. This feels very true of Tablets & Titans. This is a new RPG but it’s been designed to run off tablets. It’s another Kickstarter and here’s the pitch! [Back this Project] This Android […]

Never nag a geek into babysitting

August 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If you nag a friendly geek into babysitting then you may have made a mistake. The first thing you should do is check any gifts they may have given you in recent weeks. Check for hauntings. Check for any sign of the 16th-century occult lord Vigo Von Homburg Deutschendorf. Failure means you’ll get send pictures […]
