TimeWatch is an RPG from Kevin Kulp. It’s born from a Kickstarter Campaign that made over $100,000. The game is from Pelgrane Press and uses the Gumshoe system, familiar to players of Night’s Back Agents and Trail of Cthulhu, with some modifications. The time travelling adventure is rules light and can be played in various […]
Short film: Traveler
A nicely made short film that follows a group of friends who tried to build a jet powered craft fast enough to teleport. Sounds risky? Turns out that’s the easy bit. There are consequences for jumping across space and time…
Competition: Win The Seventh Miss Hatfield
One way to describe The Seventh Miss Hatfield is as a cross between Pride and Prejudice with Doctor Who. We’re dealing with a young girl who grows up very quickly in strange circumstances and then becomes something of a time traveler. The “Seventh” in the title relates not to timelord regenerating but because our hero […]
Short film: Atropa
A short film by Eli Sasich. Sometime in the future a lone off-world detective catches up with the missing research ship – the ATROPA. The short sci-fi is inspired by the noir classics of the 70s and 80s.

Short film: A-Sixty Tandem
A very short film with some steampunk time travellers and a touch of bleak comedy. It just goes to show that a pair of adventurers are the last thing you want popping into your life. The A: Sixty team like to make this super short comedies.
Short film: A-Hole in Time
You should worry about a hole in time. You should also worry when a science team sends an a-hole back in time too. A-holes seem most likely to create paradoxes that’ll confuse the braincells. You could even say they had it coming.
Pride, Prejudice and Time Lords: A review of The Seventh Miss Hatfield
When I first read about Anna Caltabiano’s story my brain focused on the time travel, magic and curse. As it turns out; there’s more and less geeky elements to the story as well. We start with a young Rebecca who ends up talking to a mysterious neighbour. True to expectations Rebecca ends up drinking something […]
Short film: Exit Log
This is a clever little sci-fi film that explores time travel – well, time travel over the space of 3 minutes anyway. What would you do if you had three minutes to save the ship?
Dinosaurs and machine guns: Chronos Commandos – Dawn Patrol review
I wasn’t expecting much from Stuart Jennett’s Chronos Commandos: Dawn Patrol. The pitch worked for me – time travelling soldiers battle the Nazis in dinosaur infested swamps. What’s to go wrong with that? I could almost hear the editor in charge of commissioning catchy ideas click her fingers and say; “We’ll print it! Full colour!”. […]
