This impressive landscape shows a tomb shaped like a giant sword set between two cliffs. A field of broken swords stretches out in front. It is the creation of skilful lego builder Lisqr who clearly as an eye for photography as well. It looks very much as if this LEGO landscape would work well as […]

A review of The First Kingdom: Birth of Tundran
This is a classic. The First Kingdom was first published back in 1974, ran for over a thousand pages and finished three years later. The series is written and illustrated by Jack Katz and it’s a compelling style. Katz draws in tightly knit back and white, it’s a dense style that must have taken ages […]
The little royal icing dragon and his cake friends
This too cute royal icing dragon is good enough to eat. He was created by The Evil Plankton, aka cook and deviant artist Rita from Canada. Rita clearly has a skill when it comes to tasty dragon cakes. Check out the rest.
World champion jouster uses what?
Over at Fashionably Geek, Amy Ratcliffe has this article on Sarah Hays donning armour and winning jousts. I loved the Aussie TV coverage of the story; it has everything from farting horses to the presenters discussing “jousting sticks”. Jousting sticks, really? They’ve never come across the word lance? Some videos of Sarah Hays in action […]
C2C’s Delta music video channels the inner gamer
I’m not cool enough to have heard of C2C before but this video caught my eye. In fairness, after a second play of the track I think Delta is growing on me too. The music video shows a strange ‘delta’ float up alongside a busy city and present something of a challenge to the ruler. […]
Snuggle up with Data? With Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation?
Etsy vendor Morondanga has this clever Data pillow available for purchase. If snuggling up with Data isn’t your thing then perhaps this Worf pillow will move you instead. The pillows are made from cottom and measure 40x40cm. Do Morondanga have any other Star Trek pillows? Yes, yes they do…
Short film: Batman – Puppet Master
Harvey Dent is dead. Someone has helped Zsasz escape from Arkham Asylum. FBI agent Edward Nigma has arranged a meeting with Scarface, Gotham’s newest crime boss. This fan film was released back in 2012 but is still worth watching, especially if you’ve not seen it before. There’s some strong acting in here and perhaps a […]
Thundercats – oh! these Samurai versions are fantastic!
I’m blown away. These Japanese Samurai versions of the Thundercats are fantastic. They are the work of Phil Postma a Canadian character designer with 20 years experience. His blog is going straight into my Feedly RSS reader. Postma has worked on Flash Gordon, The Mask, World of Quest, The Ripping Friends, Freaky Stories and many […]
Short film: Kin (GM Inspiration)
This short film, one of the first Kin Fables, reminds me of the RPG Beyond the Supernatural. I’m not sure why. Sure; there are supernatural elements in it but surely the project could remind me equally of Kult or a Cthulhu game? This is a Five Knights Production, a film by Seb and Ben McKinnon […]
Steampunk turret lamp
Portal turret meets steampunk? Bedtime reading meets awesome? A lamp that can run away from you? Rob, who runs Artype, calls this fantastic creation a steampunk robot lamp and has it up for sale on his Etsy page. There’s a collection of equally unique steampunky items at the store but this oddly cute robot lamp […]
