This is another piece for Legendary Realms Terrain. When one sees a minotaur in fantasy art -- in particular Dungeons & Dragons-related art -- they tend to be bulky bruiser...
-
I saw this on Games Workshop's web site yesterday: It is safe to say that I was somewhat excited. Rumours have been circulating of late -- as they often do -- that GW are going...
-
Godzilla plus Dragonball Z plus Lord of the Rings plus the crappy Transformers, not as good as the first three but better than the latter.
-
My theory is that Hurt is the Ninth Doctor, the one who ended the Time War, and because of his actions the others would like to forget about him and count Eccleston's...

Here's where I am with Horror Among Thieves. Almost there. Cover - done. p1-3 - Introduction/Norwich 1625 - done. p4 - Norwich map - still to do. p5 - about the Tenebrous Hand...

Someone should really stop Damon Lindelof from ruining promising films with his cack-handed scripts.
-
I was reminded of this by the ever-excellent British old school gaming tumblr: To this day the Amiga is one of my favourite gaming machines, although don't tell my father; he...
-
Well, this is unexpected. It is Free Comic Book Day tomorrow and I wouldn't mention it here except that this year I'm involved, sort of. If you go to Forbidden Planet London,...

I was quite enjoying 2009's Star Trek remake, right up until the end, in which New Kirk orders the destruction of the crippled Narada. Star Trek is supposed to be an optimistic...

Here's a piece commissioned by Legendary Realms Terrain: Writing continues on Horror Among Thieves, and the occasional drawing like this on the side helps keep writer's block at bay.
-
Masks of Nyarlathotep is a good rpg campaign, considered one of the best ever written, and with good reason. I have never run or played it, alas; my original gaming group had...

1985: 1978:

Here's this week's update on Horror Among Thieves, again as much for me as it is for anyone else. Cover - done. p1-2 - Introduction/Norwich 1625 - done, but needs a rewrite in...
-
Rejoice! The gods have arrived! As mentioned not along ago, Greg Gorgonmilk has taken it upon himself to resurrect -- heh -- James Maliszewski's dormant Petty Gods project, and...
-
Inspired by Tenkar's overdue Kickstarter name and shame roundup and the Dwimmermount updates, here's where I am with Horror Among Thieves. This is as much for me as anyone...
-
I wasn't going to discuss the Dwimmermount imbroglio. I didn't contribute much to the Kickstarter and it doesn't seem like my place to comment on James Maliszewski's morals or...
-
This carved stone object is about the size of a pineapple and feels hollow. It can be opened with a successful Tinkering roll or suitable magic but is quite empty, its contents...
-
Local mini-chain Grubbs Burgers is quite famous with the Brighton post-pub crowd, although in almost seven years here I'd only been once, until a friend, knowing full well my...
-
I saw Wreck-It Ralph last week. It has its strengths; the subplot involving the old-fashioned Fix-It Felix Jr. and the Gears of War-esque Sergeant Calhoun benefits from strong...
-
Over at his blog, Martin writes about how monster books are his least favourite role-playing products. He then goes on to describe the kind of monsters that inhabit the...
-
My presentation is tomorrow and I am more than a little nervous. I know that there's no sense to being frightened, because I have to do it, frightened or not, and it's only a...
-
You've seen the movie. It probably had Paul Rudd and Drew Barrymore in it, or if you were really unlucky, Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston. You've got the two friends who are...
-
Back during the original console wars, I was a Sega boy. This meant that I got to play Streets of Rage and Sonic the Hedgehog but it did also mean that I missed out on the...
-
I bought Delta Green as soon as it came out, based on the combination of a positive review in the much-missed Arcane, my then-obsession with The X-Files -- I was young and...
-
Or in the words of John McClane, how can the same sh*t happen to the same guy twice? In an unwelcome echo of previous events, I seem to have lost another friend, again through...
-
Well, that didn't last long. The thing I mentioned in the last post, the shocking-but-good thing I was being so coy about, I discovered to be nothing at all in the end. In a...
-
It has been a weird few days. I was told something earlier in the week that has shaken me up more than a little; it's not a bad thing -- far from it, in fact -- but it's given...
-
I was given some pearl barley by a friend who can no longer eat it so I've been experimenting with recipes. I've made a roasted squash orzotto that worked well, but I thought...

My A to Z was not the best, nor was it the first. It's difficult to remember now, but I think Garen Ewing was the one who kicked it all off with his Facebook group, the A to Z...
