[Back this Campaign] As a gaming parent you invite monsters into your home on a regular basis. Sometimes you slay them. Sometimes you become them. That’s cool. Okay, it’s cool but as The Simpsons’ Helen Lovejoy reminds us; Think of the children! Oh, won’t somebody please think of the children! That’s why a Targimal and […]
Creating the Soul Edge from Soul Calibur 5
Soul Edge is the main antagonist in the computer game series Soul Calibur. The sword was created by humans and was once an impressive but ordinary sword. The weapon developed its own wicked soul after being covered in blood and involved in hate crimes for so long. Anyone who grasps the sword are cursed by […]
Your very own home made G36 coilgun rifle
This G36 is a fully functional coilgun that uses electricity to fire metal bolts. It feels very much like a weapon from the future. The three lasers making aiming straight forward and the view finder is impressive. The power? It’s not bad and you can imagine how it could be ramped even higher.
It’s not a bloody cleaver – it’s a woman’s clutch
How’s this for a fashion statement that stands you out as a geek? You could be a LARPer, a horror fan or just proudly different. That said, it’s perhaps not the clutch to try and take through the airport with you. On sale from Amazon.com. Will it sell out?
Bullets precisely split in half
All I know about weapons I’ve learnt from roleplaying games; either as a player or as a GM. The pictures below show modern bullets cut in half. You can see the powder and contents of each round. It’s easy to see why some are better at punching through armour than others and why some specialise […]

This zombie-slaying weapon is Kody Koala’s latest project. It has a chainsaw for when the zombies get close and a sniper rifle for when you’re in the right position – not close to them. This is a fully functional Nerf gun, with a modified clip (12 shots) and will be on sale later if it’s […]
The WristBow – handmade crossbow gauntlet
The video is a few years old and without sound. It’s still well worth a watch though. The crossbow gauntlet was created by Patrick Priebe of Laser Gadgets and Geek Native has featured his work before. Priebe is the brains behind this Iron Man gauntlet with lasers powerful enough to burst ballons. This crossbow gauntlet […]

It’s real: a taser sword
How many times have you heard a GM tell a player they couldn’t have such’n’such a weapon because it wasn’t realistic? I suspect a taser sword might fall into that category; even for some near future sci-fi games. After all, how would you persuade the taser to release its energy down the sword evenly and […]
When Necromancers duel: bone pistol set
This bone pistol duelling set and the guns below are the creation of Bruce Mahalski. His work has been included in exhibitions since 1997 and, safe to say, has its own look. On his bio Mahalski notes that he started collecting shells, fossils and bones at a very young age, copying his scientist parents who […]
