Hosting a gaming night? Serve your drinks with a critical hit
[Buy at Think Geek] This mold makes for one impressive d20 – some 2.4″ in diameter which is enough to freeze about 4 oz of whatever you’re capable of freezing. Think Geek estimates it’ll take you about 5 to 6 hours to freeze that much water. They also point out the cast is oven-safe up […]
The full Guardians of the Galaxy trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTZ2Tp9yXyM This isn’t the 20 second teaser that was released yesterday. The full Guardians of the Galaxy trailer was shown during Jimmy Kimmel Live and comes in at an impressive 2m30s. Let’s hope it doesn’t follow the rule of “the longer the trailer – the weaker the film”. A quick look at my Facebook feed […]

I really didn’t know what to expect when I opened up the colourful Sentinels of the Multiverse but I was cautious. It looked full on from the outset.

Odd seems to be attractive: Far Away Land RPG
[Back this Campaign] I’ve a feeling that Simian Circle Games won’t think too poorly of me for describing the Far Away Land RPG as odd. It’s most certainly odd.

First trailers of Star Wars: Rebels
We’ve two promos from Disney for the new Star Wars series – Star Wars Rebels. They’re part of the “Ignite” and “Spark” teasers so-called either because it’s the ignition of the rebellion or because the feature character seems to have a thing for fireballs. I get why Disney will be keen to put the emphasis […]
