Superhero Week: Ghost Rider biker helmet
What do you make of this Ghost Rider helmet? This photo has a surprising origin. It comes from a set published by The Atlantic last year on an article about a Harley Davidson rally in China. Kinda cool to think that somewhere in China there’s a Ghost Rider lookalike on his Harley. Keeping up with […]

Superhero Week: Steampunk Catwoman cosplay
Catwoman and anything steampunk are popular cosplays but it’s not all that common to see a steampunk Catwoman mashup done well. Cosplayer Its-Raining-Neon has managed just that. In part I think it’s because she’s dumped latex and avoided super tight leather. Instead we’ve a cosplay with lace gloves, a corset and baggy shorts. Photographs by […]

Superhero Week: Harley Quinn birthday cake

Superhero Week: Bored with traditional hero RPGs? Can you go Awesome?
Ross Howell of Sharkpunch Studios is the designer of The Awesome System. The game is available for ten bucks at DriveThru RPG and uses a lot of D6. The Awesome System wasn’t written specifically to handle superheroes but does offer that high-octane movie-romp style of game play. I wondered whether the system could be used […]

The cosplayer is Shadow Wolf and the photographer is Twisted-Chimera. Remember, if you like this cosplay post then it could win you an Amazon voucher in […]
Tabletop RPG perfect? Glass and river cartography tables
Could Greg Klassen’s range of cleverly designed tables that use the natural flow of wood be the gaming table you’ve been looking for? Klassen embeds glass rivers into the cut surfaces of discarded trees. The effect is wonderful. You can buy online, too if you’re able to treat yourself. (Via Christopher Jobson at Colossal)
