Who else has gone shopping while in full LARP gear? I know I have and I can’t be the only one… if only because I wasn’t alone when I did it. This video takes the monster in the shops gag to a whole new level. The Uruk Hai here simply towers above everyone they meet […]

Worth a shout: Basic Adventuring 101
I watched the pilot episode of Basic Adventuring 101 and then wanted to watch another. It was then that I discovered the series was pending the outcome of a Kickstarter. It doesn’t usually happen that way around any more but I think it speaks well of the show that they were able to earn attention […]
Take a look at LARP: the movie
It’s not often you see a Kickstarter video that oozes cinematic skill. In fact, there’s so much video goodness that there’s actually two videos; one for Kickstarter and another pitch video.

Chimerical Dragonfly’s Warhammer 40K armour

Want a custom built Warhammer 40K suit? You got it. I don’t think the design is incomplete. This style clearly invokes the iconic armour without […]
OGL and fantasy world epic: Orin Rakatha
[Back this Campaign] I was able to speak to Mike Penny of the Orin Rakatha project ahead of this Kickstarter launch and used it to ask some questions about the campaign.
