Here’s what the cosplayers of MCM London Comic Con got up to

May 30, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The London Comic Con managed to roll 20 for Save versus Luck. The weather held up (largely) and what might have been the first national rail strike to hit the UK in 20 years was called off at the last minute. The Sneaky Zebra team did what they do best; they went to the con, […]

Explaining the Archer’s Paradox to younger gamers

May 30, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Archer’s Paradox is this; there’s a bow between your arrow and your target so how come the arrow goes straight? Slow motion and some science can explain this. While the folk at Smarter Every Day didn’t intend for this video to be aimed at games (oh, pun), I think we’re a good audience and […]

I’m loving this poster from Anna-Maria Jung. Like it too? It’s called Dungeon Crawlers and tells a story many of us will be familiar with. You can buy this print at Society6. You should buy this print. Suspect you might be a proper Anna-Maria fan? I don’t blame you. We’ve featured her work before with […]

May 29, 2015 by Ed 1 Comment

When I was a kid, I was an adventure book hoarder. I had an entire bookshelf full of them. Every day, before I got on the bus for elementary school, I’d take this small black briefcase and fill it with adventure books and bring it to school. I was running a one-man lending library right […]
