August 27, 2018 by Ben Jackson-Ellery 4 Comments

We’re fighting Nazis on a plane wing, discovering lost valleys with golden temples, escaping dinosaurs […]

August 26, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Cosmic Cartographer shares their D&D and Pathfinder battle maps under creative commons license over at Deviant Art.

August 25, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a remarkable Popeye and feels safely in the realm of movie style effects rather than clever costuming and design.  Eye of Sauron Designs is an Austrian cosplayer and artist. He started off on photography, then discovered movie props and replicas and progressed from there to full-fledged cosplay. There’s a small Patreon page from […]
