Kill your favourite character: A review of Akame Ga Kill

March 6, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

The anime kicks off as we meet Tatsumi travelling on the road. He swiftly steps into the role of hero by taking on a fearsome and dangerous creature – an Earth dragon – and in doing so demonstrates he’s quite some swordsman. It’s interesting to note that that earth dragon isn’t called a monster. None […]

So Adorably Savage: Baby Bestiary Volume 2

February 13, 2016 by Paul Baldowski 1 Comment

The original Baby Bestiary, marshalled and creatively directed by Andreas Walters, not only provided me with inspiration, it also looked fantastic. I originally pledged for his 2015 Baby Bestiary calendar, but the full Baby Bestiary would have looked so good on my coffee table. I missed out then, but now Andreas has returned with Baby […]

A second chance for Altais and mankind

February 11, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Back in 2014 Altais was asking for AUD $40,000 on Kickstarter to fund a good looking fantasy RPG. That project was cancelled. This month the relaunch hit Kickstarter and is asking for a far more modest $10,000. It’s worth a look. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1121209158/altais-age-of-ruin-a-dystopian-fantasy-rpg-relaunc [Back this campaign] This isn’t just a second chance for Parhelia Games’ Aitais […]

An unholy epic for your eyes: A review of Elric of Melnibone

February 1, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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 […]

Short film: Office Kingdom

December 13, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This short film should speak volumes to roleplayers who have to wrestle with either dreaded bureaucracy at work or with customers who don’t really appreciate the challenges you face for them. Stay with me. Office? Bureaucracy? Not two words that might inspire someone to watch a short animation but Office Kingdom is full of surprises, […]
