Back in 2012 Geek Native covered the Kickstarter project The Doom That Came to Atlantic City. It looked good. The project funded. We’re told artists did work on the game but weren’t paid. The project was then cancelled, backers lost their money and the promised refunds never appeared. The good news first; Cryptozoic stepped in, […]

Competition: Nadia – The Secret of Blue Water
In Geek Native’s review of Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water I suggested watching the series was like having nostalgia for something you didn’t watch the first time round. The animation style, from the 90s, reminds me very much of classic cartoons like The Mysterious Cities of Gold but this particular Jules Verne inspired series […]
Spiral notebooks perfect for Game Masters and tabletop RPG
Redbubble have added spiral notebooks to their arsenal of goodies. This is great news as spiral notebooks are my absolute favourite for tabletop RPGs. Spiral notebooks can be laid flat, perfectly, to act as maps and without fear of pages flipping over to reveal notes. Pages can be torn out easily. It’s also easy to […]
Inspired by Mad Max
I’m a fan of W. Scott Forbes’ work, especially this Sailor Moon Cyberpunk mashup. The art director has worked for the likes of Marvel, Sideshow Collectibles, Vertigo and other A-List geek companies. This piece was posted over at his Tumblr after Vertigo Comics invited him to take part in an Inspired Artists book for Mad […]
Crazy home invention: 40W laser shotgun
This shotgun is many times more powerful than the lightsaber styropyro had already built. As Chris Mills over at Gizmodo points out a 40 watt laser is hugely more powerful than the 0.005 watt lasers you can buy from stores but still a far off the US Navy’s prototype cannon that blasts at 30,000 watts. […]

The book’s title said it all: The Roleplaying Game Art of Tony Diterlizzi. Diterlizzi is known from key title like Dungeons & Dragons as well as Magic: The Gathering. As a […]
Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma
Ahead of E3 we’ve got the first official trailer for Redacted Studios and Versus Evil’s Afro Samurai 2. The trailer suggests there’s plenty of influence from the original anime and manga roots in the game. The story picks up from where the last game finished as we deal with Kuma on a bloody quest to […]
Kickin’ it Old School: A Review of How to Game Master Like a Fucking Boss
In the wonderful world of tabletop role-playing games, there are two separate yet equally-important schools of thought: the “old-school” style of play perpetrated from classic editions of Dungeons & Dragons through the 80s, and the “new-school” style of play coming from the rising indie RPG movement of the late 90s through now. How to Game Master Like a […]

This is a fantasy drama series from the hugely popular Melanie Rawn which follows the highs and lows of a magical theatre group in a political and dangerous setting.
