I was just moaning about Constantine in Irregular Reconnaissance when NBC go and announce a TV show. David Goyer (Batman Begins, Man of Steel) and Daniel Cerone (The Mentalist) are writing the script. This is interesting as we’ll be left to wonder whether the TV show will tie in with Guillermo del Toro’s Dark Universe […]

A review of Clockwork Watch: Breakaway
The first in the Clockwork Watch “series” is The Arrival and it really caught my attention. I put “series” in quotes because Clockwork Watch is more than just a comic book line; it’s a transmedia experience too. At least, I think that’s the term. There are LARPs to accompany it, events and art. The Anachronauts […]
What happens next in Firefly/Serenity? Find out here!
Whereas they’ve been graphic novels before – like Serenity: The Shepherd’s Tale – there’s not been any comic books that really acted as a continuation of the Firefly series and Serenity movie. Until now. Now Dark Horse comics, who do the continuation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for Joss Whedon, will publish a follow on […]
Incredible sci-fi spaceship comparison chart
Ever wondered which spaceship would win in a dog fight? Ever wondered which spaceship was bigger? Now the impressive Dirk Loechel has created a size accurate comparison chart. He says it’s right and I can’t disagree with him. There’s a huge number of spaceships on this chart and not just from films like Star Trek […]

[Back this Campaign] It’s taken me a while to get around to watching the Kickstarter pitch for Season 3 of Adventures of the League of S.T.E.A.M. I’m glad I’ve watched it now but the campaign is in the final week. I’m glad I watched the pitch video because the quality speaks for itself. I really […]

A sad day for hobbits at the Dancing Lich In… This week in Wizards without Coats, we tackle the serious issue of Halfling cultural neglect. When you issue a set of rules and guidelines, do you think about the Halflings? […]
Valve announce multiple Steam powered machines
Did you safely predict Valve would launch a SteamBox after yesterday’s SteamOS news? I did. I was wrong. The company has gone for multiple boxes, Steam Machines if you will, from a range of unnamed hardware partners. Valve aren’t happy with the PC world. For a start, the number of PCs being sold is dropping […]
Grimterra – a TGC that transforms your imagination
I can’t draw. I struggle to draw a stickman. It’s true. Perhaps that’s why I’d very much love for someone who could draw to transform my ideas, my doodles, by child-like sketching into awesome gamer art. Grimterra does exactly that. This is a new trading card game that takes your art and transforms it. Don’t […]
Out of Their Box: A Review of Evil Wizards in a Cave
The worlds in which our role-playing characters live vary wildly in their flexibility. At one end of the spectrum you have the fundamentally inflexible railroad where characters influence the progress of plot only in terms of whether they live or die. The world exists in a sort of stasis in the absence of the characters, […]
