It’s Batman meets Metal. In particular, this is ArhyBES’s take of Dethklok’s Face Fisted. Their “new” band is called Children of Batman and this remake is called Batface. You might not want to listen to this at work because, well, metal. And swearing. I like the arrangement of Red Hood, Robin and then Nightwing across […]

Do you ever wonder what happened to the baby in stripey pajamas who stared in Labyrinth? Not the character but the actor. He grew up to become Toby Froud of striped pyjamas and he makes puppets and animates them Labyrinth style. As it happens his father is Brian Froud who was the conceptual artist for […]

New Robotech anime? If Harmony Gold finds Kickstarter gold
Harmony Gold Productions are the people who helped dub Dragon Ball in the 80s but are better known for being the US distributor of Robotech. The company has been slumbering for a while, it seems, but perhaps due to the ongoing sales strength of Robotech on DVD they’ve started to stir. Now they’re asking for […]

Necromancer Games Kickstarts D&D 5e range before agreeing license with WotC
Dungeons & Dragons 5e is barely out; you can download D&D Basic or buy the Starter Set. You would think that without the licensing rules for the game that third party publishers can’t yet write products either. Necromancer Games, though, is back from a torpor to produce D&D 5e books and have raised nearly all […]
Superhero Week: Punk Storm and Iceman cosplay
Punk Storm cosplays are rare enough… but Iceman; he’s super rare. Why? It’s very hard to do that chill frozen look? I think cosplayer Flashfetch33 has nailed it, though. I can’t imagine how long this makeup took. The photographer is Adventure Tom who submitted the picture to Reddit himself. Today’s the last day in Superhero […]
Irregular Reconnaissance: Anime #10
Which anime would you recommend to friends and fellow roleplayers? In Irregular Reconnaissance I run through some of the series I’ve been watching in a collection of mini-reviews. There are no spoilers, just a little description of what’s going on and what I either like or dislike. We’d love to have your anime advice in the […]
Superhero Week: Create a Powerful Sojourner’s Moon Science Fiction RPG Character
Last year, during Superhero Week, Randall C Ellis wrote about What’s in a super hero character?. We’re pleased to have Randall back this year. The 2014 challenge – can you adapt a sci-fi game to suit super powers? Guardians of the Galaxy, for example, is that a sci-fi title or a superhero one? Both? Randall […]
Superhero Week: Mike Mahle’s Justice League Series
Mike Mahle draws superheroes and sirens with bold colours and brave lines. It’s a style I adore and so encourage you to stalk his Facebook and admire his Deviant Art. The images below are part of his Justice League series. He manages to make them look far more interesting than some of the official covers […]
