Is this spider monster too scary for any LARP?

January 26, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This blogger asked the question Are Air Swimmers any good LARPs?. The answer seems to be no. They’re too fragile. Oh, I suppose a clever team of GMs could have a shark swim through the air as a very clever effect. This video is attempt 2. TD Artwork has just finished creating a very large […]

Are Air Swimmers any good for LARPs?

January 9, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

I’m pretty sure you could use these inside as part of an encounter when a touch by an air swimmer equals trouble. You might even be able to get away with dressing up the air swimmer and still having it light enough to fly.

The holy unholy terror of Pyramid Head in stained glass

December 19, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Stained glass always reminds me of churches and cathedrals. What about you? For me, stained glass therefore has implications of holy places and perhaps even protection. Fantasy gamers know all too well that if you’re on a retreat from an unholy terror then get onto sanctified soil. What’s why a stained glass display of Silent […]

Twisted Princesses: Disney Princesses as RPG monsters

December 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Twisted Princesses is a series of illustrations from the very talented Jeffrey Thomas. The series shows some of our favourite Disney princesses looking creepy. Thomas doesn’t use the phrase “RPG monsters” to describe the princesses. That’s my choice but I think it fits… I mean; a gamer would respond to the situation without surprise. A […]

Cute or sinister? Monster dolls

November 27, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

These creature creations are the work of deviant artist Santani. The Russian has the knack of creating fantastic but slightly disturbing fantasy monsters out of fake fur and fimo. The good news is that there’s a shop. The bad news is that it’s in Russian.

Monster toys for Christmas: The Cloverfield Monster

November 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This pinged my radar because of big discounts Entertainment Earth but on this exclusive model. They call it an “exciting warehouse find” and it is supposed to be the only collectible figure of the monster from the 2008 Cloverfield movie. This is an electronic figure that makes roaring sounds, comes with swappable heads and includes […]

John Carter: The White Apes of Mars

November 24, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m really looking forward to the John Carter movie. I’m behind in my John Carter lore (heck: I should add some of the lit to my Christmas wishlists) so the movie will act as a great catch up for me. It’s also Pixar’s first live action. Not only that; director Andrew Stanton was the directional […]

Tera’s Mighty Three: Teralith, Kumas and Ovoliths

November 16, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

As we gear up for Tera’s arrival in Europe we’re getting our hands, and eyes, on more teasers from the visually stunning and combat focused MMORPG. In this post we’ll quickly check out “The Mighty Three”. These are creatures that all of Tera’s combatants will need to know a lot about. For each of the […]

Monsters

October 31, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

There’s something about this photograph that speaks to me. Okay; not just because of the two trollish monsters in it. I see those. I hope they don’t speak to me. I think it’s the black and white simplicity that appeals to me. It’s almost as if this photograph is understated which is a great juxtaposition […]

Monsters under the x-ray

October 24, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is art. Okay; it’s rather freaky art from To See in the Dark and combine what with monsters good enough for any dungeon – and this Geek Native blogger is interested in it. The octo-lady is certainly nothing I’d like my heroic pirate PC to have to deal with. There’s something about her that […]
