Nostalgia in gaming: A review of Talisman Digital Edition

October 31, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I had a complete set of Talisman Second Edition. It took hours to play. My memories of the game are clear; the skill is to manage the risk. That’s to say there’s very little skill involved. Cards came randomly. Dice rolls gave you a few options. You generally rolled one dice which meant you had […]

The limited edition Shub Zeroth “Negocio De Horror”

October 31, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Meta-Crypt, aka Brain Ewing and Justin Jewett, have an exclusion version of 9 inch figure for sale for attendees of Ewing’s Horror Business solo exhibit which opens in November at the Rivet Gallery. There are only 8 models. That’s pretty darn exclusive and why the Rivet attendees will probably get them all – good news […]

The vanishing arts caught on GIF

October 31, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Two more animated for Halloween. These may not be as scary as these five 3D tricks but they’re more mysterious. Do you have a favourite?

The argument for Chronos: The Universal LARP System

October 31, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/eschatonmedia/chronos-the-universal-larp-system/ [Back this Campaign] The Kickstarter for Chronos has, at the time of posting, a few days on the clock. It’s funded; currently about $1,000 in pledges more than target. Are you a LARPer? LARP-curious? Geek Native spoke to Ashley Zdeb, putting some hard questions forward, to make sure the argument for Chronos was clear. […]

Dice are dead!

October 31, 2013 by Guest Writer Leave a Comment

Do you have to use dice in your roleplaying game? Game designer Stuart Keating’s latest game “Three Days Until Retirement” has raised thousands on Kickstarter, many times more than target, plenty of time still to pledge (when this post goes live) and is one that uses a card-based resolution system. Dice are dead! OK maybe […]

A bloodbath of change among the best selling horror RPGs

October 31, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The ultimate assassin: Death

October 31, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Ubisoft Brazil shared this today for their Halloween message. It’s not just a pirate assassin. It’s a pirate assassin as Death. What do you think? A great idea for the next chapter in the series or a poor photoshop?

Shadows Out of Time: A Review of In Strange Aeons – Lovecraftian Numenera

October 31, 2013 by Paul Baldowski Leave a Comment

As the title of the last Smash Up expansion suggests, an Obligatory Cthulhu Set has become de rigueur for any game line (heck… you almost have a Cthulhu Monopoly in The Doom That Came To Atlantic City). Seriously, not having a Mythos inspired expansion or supplement seems like shooting yourself in the tentacle). Obviously, some […]

This is real female Predator cosplay. Created by Noora Nevalainen and winning first prize at Ropecon XX this cosplay is handmade, made from leather, bone, liquid latex, upholstery foam and paint. While there’s some debate as to what a female Predator looks like Noora certainly puts this famous picture into perspective. Why? This really is […]
