Short film: Relic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN6KUvYaUIU This is the first time anyone involved in video has made a short film and I don’t think you can tell. Filmed with a Canon 600D and Canon 550D, Relic is a post-apocalyptic film that follows a 15 year old boy trying to survive the loss of his family. I think the running effects […]
Short film: Oxygen
A post-apocalyptic animation which sees our hero try and survive in a world that has turned to dust. The air can no longer be swallowed; pollution is too high. What to do? Try and grow plants in an airtight laboratory with the last of the oxygen supply in bottles. Time to watch some more? Click […]
Short film: ROSA
This is an action-packed sci-fi with plenty of blood. It’s the work of Jesús Orellana, a Spanish comic book artist, and was made without any budget. Don’t let “no budget” be a red flag. This is impressive CG. We follow ROSA as she awakes in a post-apocalytpic world and quickly discovers she’ll have to fight. […]
Life among the ruins: A Wreck Age review
I’ll admit to a degree trepidation as I fired open my PDF copy of Wrecked Age. I had no previous knowledge of Hyacinth Games, knew their ~250 page RPG used a post-apocalyptic setting and had its own rule system. I’m a big fan of post-apocalyptic settings. I’m not a big fan of tackling new rule […]
Help or horror? A review of The Darwin Elevator
The back story for Jason M Hough’s The Darwin Elevator sounds like the background for a tempting sci-fi roleplaying game. That, of course, is a huge compliment from this reviewer. Humanity discovered the alien presence only when they built the space elevator. The colossal construct connects Earth from Darwin in Australia to an abandoned spaceship […]

GM Inspiration: The legend of Bet She’an
This is a nicely animated and paced short movie about the fall of man. Some sort of apocalypse has triggered a change in man and, as a race, we’re morphing into large crows. This is the story of one man, a sculptor and perhaps the last human left, trying to leave a lasting trace of […]
A review of The First Kingdom: Birth of Tundran
This is a classic. The First Kingdom was first published back in 1974, ran for over a thousand pages and finished three years later. The series is written and illustrated by Jack Katz and it’s a compelling style. Katz draws in tightly knit back and white, it’s a dense style that must have taken ages […]
Dan Abnett’s Kingdom to get sequel; Fiefdom
Dan Abnett’s 2000 AD series “Kingdom” is an action-packed comic book series in which genetically created dog-soldiers defend the Antarctic from mutant insect horrors. It’s a post-apocalyptic future that explores loyalty, nature and nurture as well as the sense of belonging but is very much a blood soaked action drama in fitting with the best […]
