This outfit isn’t cosplay as such; it’s a LARP costume. These pictures show Lenora of Lenora Design as her character in the LARP group Aurerijahr. Here’s what Lenora had to say; “I´m playing this character as part of our LARP-group “Aurerijahr”. I love this role, because it is a great acting challenge for me… and […]

50 years of Batman in music with 3 awesome cars
This video has been out for less than a week. It’s racing towards 2,000,000 YouTube views and there’s a reason why. Watch it to find out. The Piano Guys always pull the stops out to make impressive YouTube videos. I wonder how much they’ve paid to get access to these three Batmobiles. Which is your […]
Short film: LIFE
A few seconds into this short animation from Pixelhunters and I’m thinking of Destiny. It’s the planet, the drop ship and then the well armoured Titan. Okay, that armour is pretty intense for Destiny so perhaps it’s more like Warhammer 40K. A minute or two later and I’m getting Sin City vibes from the narration. […]
Anime fans more willing to sacrifice liberty for peace
Imagine a future in which the police could read your mind. This is a peaceful future, everyone has jobs that suit their skills and there is hardly any crime. There’s hardly any crime because the police and authorities actively scan your thoughts. While they do what they can to encourage you to be happy and […]
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor launch trailer
If I’m asked for famous Lord of the Rings games I’d say Cubicle 7’s The One Ring or MERP. These are tabletop RPGs. Can’t someone make a computer game that does as well? Rated 18, is Shadow of Mordor a candidate for this prestigous role – the best Middle Earth computer game of all time? […]
The Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences Review: A Peculiarly Amazing RPG
This week I reviewed The Ministry Initiative: The Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences. Before I dig into the meat of the review I have a couple of things I’d like to note. First, I’m a systems person. If you read the Age of Electrotech review, you already know what I’m going to say next; I’m going […]
The weakest class will thrive with The Adequate Commoner
J.M. Perkins has a great idea for Pathfinder and other RPGs. This isn’t a sourcebook that brings in even more powers. This is a sourcebook, if published, that will look at the weakest class in the game. [Back this Campaign] The Kickstarter asks for $2,500. It’s going to hit that goal so it’s a good […]
Those Crazy Olympians: Zeus is Dead
I downloaded Michael G. Munz’s Zeus is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure and thought it had broken my Nexus 7. Why? The reader said 9999 pages. There was no error, the book is that big and Amazon estimates 484 pages if you use a Kindle to approximate a physical book. There’s a lot of adventure […]
The Evil DM chair
How’s this for a robust chair for your evil DM? Created by Yaara Dekel and submitted to Design Boom this chair really is the clever juxtaposition of the familiar with the unfamiliar. The design is known as “Thonet” who’s style is characterised with a minimal look, round lines and monstrous shadow forms. Dekal calls this […]
Scoobythulhu, no really
It’s a Cthulhu mystery for a bunch of hippies and their dog to solve. Wait, what? Mikey Mason’s describes this mashup as “A bit of fun with an older song”. I think it’s a bit more effort than just a bit of fun. Filed under comedy but it might mess up a few memories.
