RPG Ideas: 6 alternatives to poltergeists

January 5, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Sometimes the GM needs to give the players a good scare or challenge them with a standard haunting.

Codename: Morningstar doesn’t Kickstart, will battle on

January 5, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

Codename: Morningstar is not a project that’s been blessed with much luck. Originally they were Wizards of the Coast digital platform partner. The two companies parted way near the end of the project, suddenly and Trapdoor Technologies was left holding the bits. I think Trapdoor did the right thing. They took the project to Kickstarter. […]

World’s largest Gummy Bear meets liquid nitrogen and a shotgun

January 4, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Could you eat one? Would you eat one? I ask those questions first because it seems quite clear to me that should you find yourself owning one of the world’s largest Gummy Bears and incredibly silly thing to do would be to shoot it twice, freeze it with liquid nitrogen and then blow it apart […]
