This is the first Audio EXP post in what will hopefully become a regular column (unlike Irregular Reconnaissance) for Geek Native. It’s a chance to sample and discover geeky audio goodies. What does that mean? For a start we’ll be sharing clips of forthcoming and new audio books. Thanks to Audible for their help in […]
What an ambush! A review of The Rise of Tiamat
The Rise of Tiamat is an adventure in Wizards of the Coast’s Tyranny of Dragons series. It follows on from the Hoard of the Dragon Queen and while, on the whole, it is a good book it packs one heck of an ambush! I enjoyed the Hoard of the Dragon Queen. Wolfgang Baur and Steve […]
Eerie dragon packback just wants a hug
This rather strange backpack design is by Bob Basset’s Lair and has been living on the internet for years. What do you think of this black dragon, the big eyes and the way the beast wraps around your body? Cute, creepy or somehow both? You can’t buy the backpack but the site does link to […]

Stirling does Dragon Age
Geek favourite Lindsey Stirling is back with a special effects rich Dragon Age video. She’s worked hard to produce videos that are suitable for the YouTube audience and bring her violin music to a wider audience. Just how large is Stirling’s audience? This video has been out 3 days and has had over 2.5 million […]
12 spooky transformations: Google helps Halloweenify D&D’s Monster Manual
Plenty of tabletop gamers use Google+. There’s the Roleplaying Games community and others as well as site pages like +Geek Native too. One of my favourite features of Google+ is Auto Awesome. Recent reviews of graphic novels or art books make use of Auto Awesome’s ability to turn photographs into videos. You can see an […]
The 12 Masks of Halloween: #7 the Dragon
Dubrovnik Art don’t say much about this creation. It’s called “Handmade” and has no other description but appears when you search their Etsy store for masks. That’s no surprise as Dubrovnik make a lot of great masks along with wall art. It might be a bit of a gamble buying this without first checking it’ll […]
Getting started with D&D 5: A review of Hoard of the Dragon Queen
Hoard of the Dragon Queen is designed as the inaugural campaign for the new Dungeons & Dragons. It is set in Forgotten Realms, on the Sword Coast and much of the action takes place between Neverwinter and Baldur’s Gate. Even if you’re new to D&D those are two names which you might recognise. This is […]
Making the perfect paper mache dragon
It’s been too long since I made paper mache. Now that I’ve found Ultimate Paper Mache.com that may change. Check out Cindy’s dragon and the four-page step by step instructions on how she did it. Cindy says she started the project by chance and accident. Just like me, Cindy hadn’t sculpted anything since high school, […]
Dicetiny soars to life
A while back Geek Native shared a peak at Dicetiny’s game cards. Now the project has launched on Kickstarter, is looking even better and has the “Staff Pick!” sticker. [Back this Campaign] Fakedice’s game is a four-player digital board game that mixes in RPG and CCG elements. I get riffs of Talisman from it. It’s […]
