The original “Dogs Playing Poker” is actually a series of 16 oil paintings by C. M. Coolidge, an American artist who died in 1934.

The Bladed Minds sword fight is full of surprises

Certainly when I was running the RPG club back at school (medieval era) it was Paranoia that greeted the yearly influx of new faces. Now James Wallis is rebooting the game via Kickstarter. [Back […]
Remind you of anyone? Gamer couples
Another cracking comic strip from Dorkly’s George Rottkamp. I’m just used to my other half being the better player. Not sure that’s the same as the one-sided rivalry; it’s more about being able to wheel in a powerful ally if a Destiny Strike is being too hard to manage alone.
Dear gamer; is this how you sleep?
