It’s not possible to play the Battle Imps any more (due leave a comment if you think its worth re-creating though).

A guide to battle imps
The battle imps were GameWyrd’s first viral hit. They launched with a small competition and a news article on GamingReport. The concept was really basic. Your name was used to generate random characteristics for a randomly selected battle imp. You then “battled” your imp against others by entering their name into the system. Guide / […]

Famous Last Words 13/15: Hey, what does this button do…?
Are you used to playing in games where characters die often? Is re-rolling a frequent event? Or are you from a gaming group where there is fear of death but the end of character; the end of that story point, is a rare and significant event? Hopefully, no matter how you might answer the question […]
Famous Last Words 12/15: Drow or not… she’s just a woman
There are a number of common traits in this collection of famous last words. Drow are dangerous. Dragons are dangerous. Dwarves have no sense of humour.

Famous Last Words 11/15: Is it supposed to do that?
One of the great side effects of collecting so many famous last words from so many gamers was that it was easy to notice how often we understood each others in-jokes and references. There’s a collective wisdom across so many games; from D&D, to Cthulhu to Warhammer, etc. I think it’s also fair to suggest […]

Famous Last Words 9/15: Can I eat this green slime?

Famous Last Words 8/15: I’m telling you it’s not real… No wait…
This re-post of Famous Last Words is ordered by total vote; with the better ones at the top. So does this mean we’ve only got the poorer contributions yet? Not necessary so; some of the famous last word contributions came in too late to pick up many votes. It’s also far to say some friends […]
