If you know nothing about Game of Thrones or the Song of Ice and Fire then this post is full of spoilers. If you’ve been watching the series or reading the book then this post contains speculation rather than spoilers. Who is Jon Snow’s mother? He’s believed to be Ned Stark’s bastard son. The R+L=J […]

Sailor Moon gifs turned into a D&D adventure party
Have you ever wondered what the Sailor Moon characters would look like if they were a typical D&D adventuring party? You know; a paladin, a rogue, a wizard, ranger and so forth? No? The rather talented Sasha Mutch did. Oh yeah. Sasha not only drew the mashup as a series but animated them too. Perfect. […]
Cyberpunkish: A review of Koko Takes a Holiday
I think “cyberpunk” is a suitable word for Kieran Shea’s “Koko Takes a Holiday”. It’s not a perfect fit. It’s hard to put tropical islands and furries into that particular genre but they’re there along with the dystopian future, body modification, gangs and corporate culture in this holiday. I struggled with the start of Koko […]
NECA/WizKids boss buys Hastings
ICv2 are reporting that the Draw Another Circle purchase of Hastings as been approved. Draw Another Circle is a company owned by Joel Weinshanker, owner of WizKids and their parent company NECA. This looks like a case of vertical expansion as Weinshanker takes control of some 126 superstores and an ecommerce platform that sells geeky […]
The world’s first family robot
This video for Jibo is impressive. Will it actually be this good? This could well be the first ever “family robot”. You have the chance to support it. You could say you have the chance to sow the seeds of the robot revolution. No downside to that, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N1Q8oFpX1Y [Back this Campaign] There are 30 […]
Marvel announce all-new Captain America. Guess who?
It seemed unlikely that Steve Rogers would be able to carry on as Captain America in the current comic book series. Rogers has lost his Super Soldier Serum and is aging. He’s in no position to throw the shield. The new Captain America doesn’t have the Super Soldier Serum either. The new Captain America, the […]
WizKids announce Guardians of the Galaxy HeroClix
This shouldn’t come as a surprise but WizKids have announced a Guardians of the Galaxy expansion to their Marvel HeroClix range. The new release will have a five figure booster brick set, a Fast Forces pack, a gravity feed display and an Organised Play kit. It is expected that the figures will be out for […]
Grown up Alice: A review of The Weirding Willows
I’m not sure why but many “grown up Alice in Wonderland” comic books take a certain adult spin on the story. Yes, while it’s true that The Weirding Willows has our grown up Alice wandering around without any trousers on for the opening panels she soon dresses and it is not really that sort of […]
Pride, Prejudice and Time Lords: A review of The Seventh Miss Hatfield
When I first read about Anna Caltabiano’s story my brain focused on the time travel, magic and curse. As it turns out; there’s more and less geeky elements to the story as well. We start with a young Rebecca who ends up talking to a mysterious neighbour. True to expectations Rebecca ends up drinking something […]
The great garden gnome masscare
Looking for a gift for your favourite evil GM? I think Big Mouth Toys might have just the garden feature for you. [I know someone who’d love this] “The Great Garden Gnome Massacre” will set you back just over $30. It’s 9-inches tall and at the base some 5-inches wide. The poly resin should withstand […]
