I’m a backer on Trapdoor Technology’s Codename: Morningstar Kickstarter. This is a crowd-funding campaign to pick up a digital toolset that Wizards of the Coast pulled out of. The replacement software works with the Pathfinder Reference Document (PRD) instead. Geek Native was lucky enough to land an interview with Trapdoor’s founding director Chris Matney. In […]

Desborough’s #GamerGate card game banned by DriveThruRPG and SJ Games
#GamerGate is a card game by James Desborough’s Postmortem Studios. It is named after the stormy and hotly contested row among computer gamers and games journalists. This is a row which has involved bomb hoaxes, death threats and doxxing. Postmortem Studios described the game as a joke, saying; Gamergate the Card Game commemorates THE defining […]
Official Doctor Who Christmas trailer: Last Christmas
Peter Capaldi is back as Doctor Who and Jenna Coleman returns as Clara for the Christmas Special. Nick Frost (Spaced) is Santa Claus and we’re expecting to encounter Dan Starkey (who normally plays Strax) as another character. Are you looking forward to it? Or is there a constant worry that this Doctor Who won’t be […]
Icons and Superheroes launch with X-Men
Watching the Mad Max trailer last night reminded me of Maxime Crouzet’s minimalist Fury Road poster. As it happens Maxime has a new venture and it’s all about Icons and Superheroes. The project is to create a series of limited edition posters for 50 characters from various superhero universes. Maxime tells me she is starting […]

His store on Etsy lets you prints geeky prints at gamer-safe prices. Most importantly, right now at least, Joe is running a Kickstarter called Terra Kaiju. [Back this […]
Cosplaying Santa Doom is crazy x2
The first crazy is the time Doctor Doom became Santa. In the comic from Marvel’s old “What The-?!” series Santa lands at a certain Laverian castle. Santa even manages to battle through many of the evil Doctor’s defenses – you know, so he can deliver a present – but is fatally injured on the way. […]
Game of Thrones inspired Iron Shoes take swords to high-heels
These bold shoes are the work of Nixxi Rose and I’d say both George R. R. Martin and HBO’s set designers deserve a mention too. They’re modelled on Game of Thrones’ iconic and deadly Iron Throne. Tempted by power? You can buy these shoes from Nixxi Rose’s online store and treat yourself. (Via Cory Doctorow […]
Mad Max trailer is a symphony of destruction
George Miller’s Mad Max looks like it is shaping up nicely. We’ve got Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises) as Max along with Charlize Theron (Monster, Prometheus) as the Imperator, Furiosa. I’m looking forward to seeing Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: Days of Future Past) as well. What do you think? A strong trailer or are they […]
This bracelet is a flamethrower
Adam Wilber stresses that this watch-sized device isn’t a toy. Then again; he also says it’s a badass professional device that allows you to launch fireballs. You can pick up your own PYRO for $174. Maybe you know someone who’s a pain to get Christmas presents for you? There’s no “add to cart” button. There […]
