A wonderful Christmas illustration from the talented Francisco Badilla. There’s a slay/sleigh joke in this portrait somewhere.

Short film: Hitchhikers
A short film by Morgane Schmitt Giordano that touches on the fun side of surreal at times. Hitchhikers follows a couple of comet hunters who are heading to watch the night sky at Lake Frost when they crash into a very odd character. Click on this random teleport link and the site will whisk you […]
Gollum cake is freaky real
This cake is wonderful. It’s so wonderful it’s more than a little freaky. It looks like you’re being asked to eat Gollum. Made by Karin Klenner of Sweet Little Treat the cake is 30cm high and uses about 1.5kg of modeling chocolate. That’s in addition to about 1kg of fondant. What do you think? Good […]
Short film: Murphy
It’s the Second World War and an English paratrooper has been forced to land in a forest. He’s wounded, unable to move but that’s not the least of his problems. A little woodland creature has found the soldier and taken an interest in him. What could go wrong? This is an ISART Digital film and […]
Magic up candy, Star Wars and robots all in the same bite!
When we last checked in with Kimberly Chapman of Eat the Evidence we talked about half-orc barbarian rages and mystery cakes. It’s Christmas. We’re going to get a lot of Star Wars in the next 12 months. Is this really the time for half-orc barbarian ages? Perhaps! It’s also the time for 3D cookies shaped […]
Cute little monster princesses
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 […]
Furry fun: Cogs & Claws
I wonder if it’s wrong to think “furry” whenever I encounter an anthropomorphic story? That’s what I did when I started to read Jimmy Pearson’s (author) and Brian Bennett’s (illustrator). There’s nothing quite like tackling your “furry assumptions” than the first couple of panels showing a fish swim into a robotic unit which swiftly becomes […]
The PBaRmor set
Created by cosplayer and artist Olivia Mears to wear to a Red Fang and Opeth concept, inspired by Red Fang’s music video for Prehistoric Dog, this armour is made from a 24 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon. Our geeky creator earns +10 experience points by offering these stats; -5 defense. +15 charisma! I recommend popping […]
Bastion is Full of Lies: A Review of Into The Odd
The business of roleplaying can be a tough sell to people who have been exposed to the experience previously in an uncontrolled or raw form. Speaking from experience, I have seen people enthused by the prospect turned sour when they saw the size of the average core rule book. The Player Handbook for 4th Edition […]

Created for Crafty Games’ Mistborn RPG, based on Brandon Sanderson’s novel of the same name, the custom dice use symbols from Allomancy. For more details check out the Kickstarter.
