How this for a pet? It must be like living in a mini Star Wars universe. Amazingly, this pint sized Wookiee only came in 3rd at the Petco Star Wars contest. I wonder which furry mashups came in first and second? (Via Imgur)

Cold Blooded Numenera: A Review of Ninth World Assassins
If you have a problem… if no one else can help… and if you can find them… maybe you can hire… a Ninth World Assassin. While Numenera sets a stage for adventure in the far flung future, after the rise and fall of nine great civilisations, certain things remain the same – like the shadowy […]
The Secret Machines of the Star Spawn hunt Kickstarter cash
Mark Taormino’s second Kickstarter is going well. It’s rated “T” for Terrifying, 17+, with the promise/offer of violence, blood, gor, adult language and situations, extreme fun and for bad ass players only.

Fight the Darkness with this Destiny poster
What do you make of the retro “fold effect” on this Destiny poster from Janee Meadows? I’m not sure but I love the look of the Guardian. I can only hope that my Exo Titan finds armour and cloak that looks half as good. Like what you see? You can buy this poster from Meadows’ […]

A LEGO masterclass with the fiery Blastous Dragon
This impressive dragon is the creation of Flickr user and LEGO hero Archinto. The Brothers Brick describe her, Breanne Sledge, as the Queen of all things Bionicle. Or Hero Factory. Both. I think they’re right. (Via Brothers Brick)
Try Another: A Review of The Accelerated Book of Approaches
The Fate Core system provides an incredibly flexible platform for running games of any genre. Indeed, this flexibility makes Fate more of a gaming tool-kit than a system, as you can shape it to meet your needs – narrowing for simplicity or expanding for crunchy complexity as you and your gaming group see fit. Fate […]
I Can Haz Fate Core? A Review of The Secrets of Cats
Two of geek culture’s hottest trends today are the Fate Core roleplaying game, and cats doing just about anything. A merging of the two seems almost inevitable. Thankfully, The Secrets of Cats: A World of Adventure for Fate Core, by Richard Bellingham, does great justice to both subjects. The first thing that jumped out at […]
75% of Steve Jackson Games’ business is generated by Munchkin
Steve Jackson Games is impressively transparent with fans. They publish a report, even though Steve Jackson is the only stockholder, to reveal how well (or not) the company is doing. You can read the latest Report to the Stakeholders for 2013 on their website today. The company has been going since 1980 and now has […]
Short film: Space Cat Hob
This animation took two years to make. The team had no money. The result is a rich sci-fi filled with action, drama and surprises. What do you think? Does it teach you to trust cute things but be cautious of ugly things? Or perhaps it suggests to you that cat warriors would be too easily […]
