Geek Native has shared a small collection of chairs suitable for evil GMs over the years. Perhaps it’s a whole industry in of itself. We’ve seen the scorpion chair, the evil shadow chair and a comfy skull chair. So let’s mix some of those up; lets go for a black as shadow skull chair! This […]

TradeCraft Bonus: 6 tea infusers good enough for gamer geeks
What do you drink while gaming? Soda, booze, coffee or tea? You can chart my age alongside my drinking-gaming trends; started on soda (and lots of it), moved to booze and now tend to game with a nice cup of tea. As the holiday season is dangerously close let’s take a look at some tea […]
Slick, anime-esq, Star Wars portraits
Really like the stylish twist Rob Duenas has brought to these Star Wars portraits. His Deviant Art page has gone straight onto my watch list. Fans should check his Tumblr too, SketchCraft, as it’s an easy to stay up to date with all his creations. What do you make of the Leia, though? Same treatment […]

Short film: Flesh Computer
If the title doesn’t give you a clue – this short film is a little freaky at times. A cybernetic pet project (perhaps a cybernetic pet) of a handyman in a decaying apartment complex is put at risk by a pair of thugs. As a result the handyman is forced to take a stand and […]
Return Man to Dust: A Review of The Dark Spiral
Every game hopes to bring something new to the table, but as a reader you don’t necessarily grok the setting or the promise from the outset. Sometimes you’re left to your own devices. Other times, the publisher kindly serves up an introductory adventure or – even better – a whole campaign. By offering a set […]
Night’s Black Agents: Dracula Dossier

In Night’s Black Agents from Pelgrane Press players are secret agents going up against the forces of darkness. It won two silver ENnie awards (best Game and Best Writing) and picked up additional nominations […]
Music meets Science in Cymatics
This track is from Nigel Stanford’s Solar Echoes. All the experiments you see in it are real. You get to see how sound interacts with items in a bunch of interesting ways. Also; fire.
