Geeky art collection – 5 mystery prints
Right now pop-culture and music retailer Zavvi have a ‘very time limited’ offer on in which you get 5 mystery prints for £9.99. I didn’t even know Zavvi sold prints. I was inspired to take a look. The mystery print deal seems to be capped at a retail value of £25 so the chances of […]
Dungeons & Dragons 5e: Can a multi-class druid wear metal armour?
This blog rarely gets into the nitty-gritty of game mechanics of specific systems but the issue of druids and metal armour in D&D 5e is an interesting one as it overlays In Character roleplay decisions on character building mechanics. In D&D it says this in the proficiencies section of the druid character class; Armor: Light […]
Forgotten Realms cosplay: Valindra Shadowmantle
This is the Moon elf lich Valindra Shadowmantle. She’s the Overwizard, Master of the North Tower and the coordinator of the Brotherhood’s activities in the northern section of Faerun. The cosplay was shared by Black Bleach who confirms the very impressive skull masks are latex. There’s a touch of Photoshop, I think, with glowing eyes […]

Could you survive? A review of Middenarde
There’s no shortage of RPGs out there. The move to digital publishing has lowered the barriers to entry to such an extent that homebrew campaigns and rules appear every week on sites like RPGNow and DrivethruRPG. This plentiful supply of games is a silver lining worth adventuring for but the cost, the cloud it brings, […]
Will we soon watch as Twitch hosts ride cute miniature whales?
It seems whenever I tune into a computer game playing Twitch host they’ve got the telltale curves of an ergonomic chair behind them. Something like a Ficmac, which Amazon puts near the top of the chair charts. Boring! Wouldn’t it be better if our favourite hosts were riding whales? This particular whale chair design is […]
