Dice Bag! A competition inspired by Zoidberg, Cthulhu and a Beholder

May 26, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 4 Comments

At the start of the month I stumbled across a beholder! Did it kill me? Nope! The collection of eye tyrant dice bags, inspired by the familiar D&D horror, won me over with their quirky charm and usefulness. I want to rummage around in the mouth of a beast before every dramatic dice roll. You […]

The movie timeline of the future [infographic]

June 17, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This infographic from Michael Hobson is pretty cool. He’s a designer and illustrator based in London and one of the founders of Digital Sizzle. I’m not entirely sure he’s a fan of Ghost in the Shell. Then again; Cowboy Bebop is on the list so perhaps he’s an anime fan after all. The future according […]

Remember the old D&D alignment chart? Of course you do. In fact, this blogger is willing to bet some gamers who have never played old school Dungeons and Dragons with the old school alignment rules are still very familiar with the concept. Remember Futurama? Ha. I’m glad it made it back for a second attack […]
