Pick an Era… Any Era: A Review of Tempus Omni

February 12, 2014 by Paul Baldowski 2 Comments

Time travel roleplaying? Oh boy… The complexities of time travel means that you have a lot on your plate as a storyteller. Given the power to skip freely through time and bend the causality to your will, what hope the well laid plans of a Gamemaster? So, I find time travel games benefit from a […]

Mighty Dragon assault cake

February 11, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is one impressive cake! It’s tempting to call it a Dungeons & Dragons cake but really the dragon is attacking a castle. A Castle & Crusades cake? Is there a cake based RPG as a second alternative? Found first on Pinterest, traced to Token Female Gamer and might first have appeared via Rosebud Cakes. […]

In the Best Possible Taste: Numenera’s Love and Sex in the Ninth World

February 11, 2014 by Paul Baldowski 1 Comment

There’s something you can definitely say about Numenera – and that’s if you’re not thinking outside the box, you’re probably not playing to it’s full potential. When you’re taking the world to the brink of destruction, a billion years into the future, you can’t just think some post-apocalyptic Mad Max knock-off. The Ninth World isn’t […]

8 dangerous items included in the Dark Souls 2 Collector’s Edition

February 11, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Japanese Collectors Edition of Dark Souls 2 is surprising. It is a set of sword and shield replicas. The bundle costs ¥15,800 (£94). In comparison, the UK the Dark Souls 2 CE costs about £79.99 and comes with a 450g Warrior Knight. These are replica weapons, it’s worth noting. The largest shield only weighs […]

Doctor Who Valentine’s Day Cards

February 11, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

It might be a little late to order them now but last year’s limited edition WHO – ValenTime Cards are still available from Tom Kurzanski’s Etsy store. He does offer expedited shipping, though. You do get a pack of 10 in your order. I suspect this means only shops, conferences or perhaps bloggers looking for […]
