This gorgeous Milanese armour is the work of Gutfran Workshop. It took nearly 3 months to craft and the result is a safe and durable set. Milanese armour is known for its renaissance style, in part, due to Flippo Negroli. Some consider him to be the best armour of all time. Gutfran’s design is far […]

Short film: The Lord Inquisitor
This film by Erasmus Brosdau is a labour of Warhammer 40K love. A few seconds into the short and you’ll see why its impressive. What we have is the first 8 minutes of a larger film called “The Lord Inquisitor”. Frankly, I think that Inquisitor is a bit of a sadist. This isn’t the first […]
Game of Thrones: fan theories that have gone the distance
Like it or not, the sense that GoT is building to a crescendo as it nears its final few seasons is growing pretty much by the episode these days. We’re now officially ahead of where the books ever took us up to, and so there’s something of a teetering inevitability to the idea that the […]
Trying to use the loo at a LARP
Meanwhile at a LARP convention This clip was posted by Imgur user Chrisini. It seems to come from a larger video but the origin wasn’t shared. Do you know? If you’ve been to a large LARP before, the sort of thing that results in a bunch of gamers being locked away in a field, with […]
Mighty dragon groom cake
This impressive dragon is actually a cake. It’s a grooms cake made by Tiffany Flanagan and uses Krispy treats as a clever way to sculpt the dragon. What do you think? I’m rather impressed. Someone wanted inspired for a memorable grooms cake and was gifted with a perfect response. I can only imagine Tiffany […]

This Dark Souls cosplay is fall down good!
This is the work of cosplayer Yeliz who is fast approaching 7,000 fans on Facebook. Yeah, Dark Souls fans – you’re right. This is Artorias. Impressively, Yeliz made this entire costume herself. The prop sword, however, comes from Destroyer Props who look very talented too. Via Sean Fallon at Fashionably Geek.
Which 2017 UK RPG or board games convention is best?
Is it hard keeping up to date with the convention scene? I find it a challenge. There are some giant gaming conventions in the States and then Wizard World runs a host of comic cons. In the UK there are still some dominant conventions but I find the landscape is much more fragmented. Luckily, gamer […]
Devil Lord class: A review of Trinity Seven
I rather liked the look of Trinity Seven from the preview Geek Native posted back in 2015 but watching it left me uncertain. The premises is kinda cool. Arata Kasuga finds himself in a world of trouble after a magical apocalypse happens and it is probably his fault. In fact, the very world we have now […]
Tell me about your character
A funding principle of Geek Native is that tabletop gamers care about more than just their character. We’re not all dweebs who’ll force a three hour epic ‘And my character did this’ story on you if you let your guard down. That said… Nameless PCs might have a point with this one.
