RPG Ideas: 6 alternatives to poltergeists

January 5, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Sometimes the GM needs to give the players a good scare or challenge them with a standard haunting. A poltergeist often makes sense as the spirit manifests itself initially on a small scale, with clues for the characters to pick up on, and then the drama escalates as the group tries to do something about […]

Cute little monster princesses

December 22, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I like what Deviant Artist NoFlutter has done here. The talented American artist has taken some traditional Disney princesses and turned them into little monsters. Okay, some might argue that they were monsters of sorts of begin with… we don’t mean that sort of monster. We’ve actually seen some of NoFlutter’s design smarts before on […]

Short film: Mean Teddies

December 18, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There’s lots of love about Tyler Novo’s Mean Teddies In this short animation we deal with one fierce looking bear. I’m reminded of an adventurer; he’s kitted out for war but fighting to keep the monsters at bay. This bear takes no prisoners. Why? He’s a little boy to protect. He has someone to keep […]

Tentacles of LEGO errupt from the water!

December 5, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Designed by Hen Peril and shared by Brothers Brick as “Kraken Attack!” this piece was bound to catch attention. It’s unusual to see LEGO water, let alone LEGO tentacles and I’d even suggest this much violence in a LEGO diorama is pretty rare too. Fantastic piece.

Zombie Pokemon for your nightmares

November 29, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

These two horrible alternative Pokemon are the love-children of artists J.R. Coffron and Stephen Oakley. Pikachu is pretty scary as a brain eating undead monster. Weezing is far, far, worse, though. You can imagine running from this monstrous Weezing as a level boss in a survival horror gets the drop on you.
