Japanese horror as a RPG: A review of Kuro – Makkura

August 16, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The game works well because it is nicely balanced mechanically, creates a thrilling if rather gritty noir cyberpunk world and layers in the supernatural. It is entirely up to the GM and, of course, the actions or inactions of the players as to whether the game […]

August 16, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Are you a fan of having a log burner in your garden? You could use it to warm your patio as you read or game outside in the late nights of the summer. You could use it to strike fear into the hearts of rebel scum. Talented Instructables member Doddieszoomer went for the latter. The […]

Gotta mash them all! DC superheroes as Pokemon trainers

August 16, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Imagine if some DC superheroes took up Pokemon and became trainers? That’s exactly what creative student Creees (HyunSung Lee) has done. While studying comic art he’s created a mashup of two favourite topics and added some pocket monster action to the heroes. Creees says he’s striving to become an awesome DC or Marvel comic artist. […]

Are you glad this Bioshock cosplayer is not your little sister?

August 15, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What do you think? This cosplay manages to look both lovely and sinister at the same time. The costume certainly looks dead accurate. The cosplayer is Amiko-chan who created the props as well as the costume. Here we must have one mighty Bioshock fan. The photography is excellent too and by Dzeta. Another example of the […]
