Blood and Graph Paper: a review of Tomb of the Iron God

April 30, 2016 by Paul Baldowski Leave a Comment

There’s an ancient monastery, or there was, and the locals can’t quite account for it. In truth, most of them look too fearful to want to even think about it. The temple of the Iron God once served as the final resting place for anyone in the area, whether noble or peasant. Now, the temple […]

They look like us! A review of the live action Parasyte movie

April 29, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I rather liked the Parasyte anime, especially the start of the series when we were discovering all about the alien invasion and everything was going so badly wrong. I thought the ending was a bit luke warm but since the live action adaption of the series is split into two I knew I wouldn’t have […]

Marked by Calamity: A Review of Fantasy Age – Children’s Crusade

April 29, 2016 by Paul Baldowski Leave a Comment

A major calamity has left the land in disarray and a religious cult has chosen to take advantage of the moment. They have ‘marked’ certain children as a source of corruption, seeking to use them as a sacrifice for their deity; more level-headed folk have chosen to assist the children, orphans of the calamity, by […]

Mathematically this is as many sides dice can have

April 29, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You can’t have more faces on a die without losing symmetry and becoming a broken dice. The d120 is as large as you can go. Opposite faces add up to 121. The dice is the creation of the The Dice Lab. A single die will cost you $12 whereas a set of five sets you […]

Flash offer: Marvel Zbox

April 29, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

At a guess Zavvi found success by making only 500 copies of their anniversary Pokemon Pokebox available. How can I tell? They’re doing even more, super limited, deals on ‘Marvel Day’ with Civil War zboxes. Okay, if the offer isn’t on the site by the time you’ve clicked through it means it’s already gone. Sold […]

5 incredible LARP costumes from Monster Bau

April 29, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The German site LARP-Monster Bau has an impressive collection of LARP costumes on display. It’s possible to see how most of these Hollywood-level costumes were made too and that’s a lovely touch. As someone who’s tried to creep through a dark wood while in full LARP mode I can promise you none of these horrors are […]

X-Men in movies should have bright costumes – a debate

April 28, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Kaptain Kristian makes the case that X-Men movies should feature colourful costumes. One part of the argument is that the movies should stay more faithful to the comic books. Why? The X-Men and their creators have earned it. There is a legacy to respect. However, Kristian goes beyond that fan pitch to suggest that the […]

GM-less RPG storming Kickstarter: Noirlandia

April 28, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Four years ago on Geek Native we asked Is the era of the GM over? in a great post from Joe Prince. It’s a concept that still confuses people. Now, however, the Noirlandia pitch on Kickstarter is at about 400% funded with three weeks still to run. [Back this Campaign] This is a murder mystery […]
