Genre Police: Taking Up Space?
Okay….this is gonna be a difficult one. It’s gonna really be a column about how we can’t do a column that turns into a column. We’re going to look at how we look at science fiction, how historically it has evolved and how that isnt’ helpful to us. We might even learn something about games […]
Competition: Alien – Sea of Sorrows
Did you know there will be a sequel to Ridley Scott’s Prometheus? Prometheus 2 will be called Alien Covenant. We knew Prometheus was a prequel to Alien so perhaps its about time we had a full on merger. Alien: Sea of Sorrows is part of the new Alien book trilogy. The first was Alien: Out […]
Braille dice, d20 style

Rather strange xenomorph ring becomes a brass knuckle
