Looking for a short film to show your kids this Halloween? I think Monster Problems might be what you’re looking for. A boy manages to make it safely into bed by leaping just as the lights go out. Is it enough? Not quite; that doesn’t stop a trio of terrors from surrounding him. Fans of […]
Learning to RPG: The D&D PowerPoint
Alex Farr made and shared this PowerPoint designed to help players learn D&D. Some important lessons in here, don’t you think?
Man builds real life Mjolnir and trolls with Thor’s hammer
YouTube engineer Sufficiently Advanced created a real life Thor’s hammer. It’s a great little demonstration of some agile engineering. Also; it’s a great way to troll people and make a popular YouTube video. What puzzles me is why so many people gave picking up the hammer a go.

RPG Humour… so you had a rare sword
I’ve done this in computer RPGs and tabletop games where a historic or once favourite weapon fell behind the curve.
Is this every Japanese style RPG ever made?
The College Humour team move their spotlight over to JRPGs. This animation is a run through of a RPG which, although you’ve never played it before, may be familiar. Warning; some dude appears at the end with bad jokes and a plug for the channel.
What if Ant-Man was an Avenger for the Battle of New York?
Canadian school teacher and comic strip creator Lunar Baboon takes us back to the Avengers’ battle against the Chitauri in New York.
The forgetful GM
The original comic from Jeremy Kaye isn’t called “The Forgetful GM”. That’s just what sprang to mind when I saw it. It doesn’t even make sense. I mean; GMs don’t keep spawn horrors tucked away in their back room. Right? Right?
