So Adorably Savage: Baby Bestiary Volume 2
The original Baby Bestiary, marshalled and creatively directed by Andreas Walters, not only provided me with inspiration, it also looked fantastic.

Back in 2014 Altais was asking for AUD $40,000 on Kickstarter to fund a good looking fantasy RPG. That project was cancelled.

An unholy epic for your eyes: A review of Elric of Melnibone
Geek Native’s looked at the new releases of Elric of Melnibone and liked them. The Michael Moorcock Library Vol.1 – Elric of Melnibone is different insofar as it brings together the original 1980 comic adaptation into a hardback. The story is the same. At least, that’s the theory. In reality, this Elric of Melnibone feels […]
