Russell Morrissey, owner of the hugely popular RPG community, EN World, posted an interesting chart of popular RPGs to his Google+ account. It shows that more gamers are talking about Pelgrane Press’s 13th Age than they are about Monte Cook’s Numenera. The data is pretty compelling too. It looks back over the last 90 days […]

Which new RPG does Cubicle 7’s reshuffle point to?
Cubicle 7 has announced the appointment of four new members of staff, including Andrew Kenrick who will be coming on board as the publisher’s new Managing Editor. I asked whether Kenrick’s appointment meant any changes to the role of Dominic McDowall as CEO. They do. With Andrew Kenrick, who has six years experience at Games […]
Limited edition Escape from New York poster
Every now and then Geek Native blogs about some impressive, rare or impressively rare collectible poster. They’re often great to look at… but sometimes a challenge to buy. These rare posters can be frightfully expensive. I guess that’s part of their collectibility; they need to be exclusive. Now UK based Hey Lucky! are trying to […]
A look inside: Wood for Sheep – The Unauthorized Settlers Cookbook
We’ve seen plenty of Settlers of Catan inspired geek craft already but never an entire cookbook. Until today. Written by Chris Rachael Oseland the cookbook has over 100 recipes as well as instructions on how to get those important hex shaped dishes. The story behind the origin of the cookbook may sound familiar too. Best […]
Dan Abnett’s Kingdom to get sequel; Fiefdom
Dan Abnett’s 2000 AD series “Kingdom” is an action-packed comic book series in which genetically created dog-soldiers defend the Antarctic from mutant insect horrors. It’s a post-apocalyptic future that explores loyalty, nature and nurture as well as the sense of belonging but is very much a blood soaked action drama in fitting with the best […]
The Mother of Dragons illustration that inspired fire
This can’t happen very often. Let’s start with something that does happen often; Babs Tarr drew an awesome picture. In this case she drew Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons. It’s the bit that happened next. Babs got an email from Victor Perez who works in motion pictures and film – on VX. He liked […]
Release the Beast: A Review of AGE Bestiary – Beastmen
Creatures born of man and beast fill legends and contemporary media alike with monsters of rampant ferocity or unexpected champions of surprising character (often with something of a Red Shirt mentality about their prospects of surviving until the end of the book / movie). You can see examples all over the place – whether Mr […]
Psychonauts’ Mr Pokeylope in plushy form
Anna the Red has created another fantastic plushy creation. This time we’re getting a Mr Pokeylope from the game Psychonauts. By “we’re getting” I mean Paul Levering from 2 Player Productions commissioned this for his girlfriend and that we get to admire the work. If you’d like to see the steps Anna went through to […]
Khorne’s Daemons – The Bloodtide
Warhammer fans will recognise these demons. This scary lot are from the blood god’s realm and part of Khorne’s army. If you fight for or fight against Chaos then these are some of the horrors that may join you on the battlefield. These figures are the work of model artist Isotope99 who has a fantastic […]
