A review of Shattered Moon
Shattered Moon is a roleplaying game from Broken Tower and Tim Westhaven. Westhaven is both author and artist on the game, given that the book is 320 pages of colourful art and clever text the project must have been a labour of love.

Robopocalypse: How to survive the robot uprising
This video makes some important points. Sure, yes, we worry about a zombie apocalypse – and that might happen thanks to chemical warfare, mucking around with genes or too much exposure to reality TV. But is it likely? What seems far more likely is a robot uprising. Today, Google’s robot car got its own license. […]
Skyscrapers for the apocalypse roll through the ruins
These rolling buildings would be good at squashing zombies. The wheel shaped buildings are actually an entry into eVolo’s competiton to rethink skyscraper design by Damian Przybyla and Rafal Przybyla of Poland. They are called “Migrant Skyscrapers”.
