Imagine a near future in which it no longer snows in England. The Government, sometimes referred to as Black Suits, has the power and the desire to take children away from families should genetic screening suggest the presence of the Defective gene. We can assume these Defectives have caused problems. There must be some reason for […]

Retro-futuristic: A review of the classic Futureworld
Futureworld came out in the year of my by birth and is a sequel to the 1973 Michael Crichton Westworld. In Westworld a company called Delos ran three themed words; West World, Medieval World and Rome World and populated them with lifelike androids. Guests could fight, kill, or even have sex with the androids. As […]
Drugs and the divine: A review of Mythbreaker
Gods are around and most of them aren’t very happy with humanity. It would be a bad idea to suddenly find yourself caught in the middle of their squabbles. That’s exactly what happens to the embezzler Louie Fitzsimmons. Fitz introduces Mythbreaker as drugs for sex post-coital favour goes badly wrong and the voices in his […]
Actual alternative: A review of The Star Wars
The Star Wars is already an award winning comic; picking up the Diamond Gem Award for Best Licensed Comic in 2013. This graphic novel came out this winter and feels like an ideal gift for any Star Wars fans. You can imagine that Star Wars (A New Hope) had a script that was worked on […]
A box of monsters: A review of Naruto Shippuden Movie 5 – Blood Prison
Blood Prison is the 5th Naruto Shippuden movie. If you know about Sage Mode and will not be surprised at what Lord Killer Bee can transform in to then you can watch it without spoilers for wherever you are in the series. This is very much a movie of two halves – and I liked […]
Mashpunk: A review of In Dark Service
I liked In Dark Service by the time I got to the end. The promise of the book kept me intrigued and although I may not ever understand why I struggled to push on through at the start, I am glad I got to the end. This is a good book. I had two concepts […]
Return Man to Dust: A Review of The Dark Spiral
Every game hopes to bring something new to the table, but as a reader you don’t necessarily grok the setting or the promise from the outset. Sometimes you’re left to your own devices. Other times, the publisher kindly serves up an introductory adventure or – even better – a whole campaign. By offering a set […]
Really? The Devil is a Part-Timer review
The Devil is a Part-Timer is an action-comedy. I enjoyed the action. The same can’t be said for the comedy. The background is straightforward and seems quite good. Satan is the king of his own island in a different realm and with his four generals effectively terrorising the neighbouring human islands. That’s until an incredibly […]
Ad Nauseum: A Review of the Kromore RPG
Tired of new role playing games trying to reinvent the genre with modern design concepts? Are you frustrated with role playing games that are trying to bring the hobby in new directions, or modernized for contemporary audiences? Well, have I got a game for you. The Kromore Role-playing Game feels like a game that wilfully and […]
Everything’s Shiny: A Review of Things Don’t Go Smooth
The Firefly RPG made quite a splash when it dropped earlier this year. The game, powered by the latest iteration of the wildly popular Cortex Plus system, was custom-built for the kind of wild action and over-the-top heroics that were the hallmarks of the TV show. I’m happy to report that the game’s first major sourcebook, Things Don’t Go […]
