Nicholas Cloister dropped a line asking if I’d mind giving his blog a shout-out to give it a little more exposure on the intertubes. Nowadays I’m usually too much of a curmudgeonly old fart to do such things, but when the blog in question is THIS DAMNED GOOD how could I possibly say no?
Seriously. He’s this good.
His RPG Creatures are imaginative, evocative and his artwork is nothing less than stunning. There’s something about them which reminds me of the classic Skyrealms of Jorune (from me, that’s high praise indeed) and the stats are human-readable system neutral so they should be easy enough to drop into your game engine of choice. The Ra’Khuni is already a favourite of mine – I plan to stat him in 4e for a future desert-themed adventure I’ve got planned. If you have any comments or suggestions I’m sure Nicholas would be happy to hear from you.
File this guy under “one to watch”. He’s got one heck of a future ahead of him.
This, dear peeps, is the latest stamp release from the Royal Mail here in the UK: a set of 6 Mythical Creatures stamps which are as gorgeous as they are cool and functional.
Every one of them is a piece of art in miniature, with the Dragon, Pixie and Fairy leading the pack for downright awesomeness. Me, I want them all!
They will be miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine………………..
Click for big! Click for big! Click for big! Click for big!
Found at Global Nerdy to describe the EnergizeIT expo in Canada, here’s quite simply the best Star Wars image I’ve seen, ever. Chewy on drums just slays me. And Darth Vader – rock god, dude.
For a start, I’m totally digging that Bacon gets atomic number 1. Bacon is, like, the hydrogen of awesome, the source of all awesome in the universe. Batman is, of course, more awesome than Bacon, but not as high up the scale as, say, Monster Trucks or Black Holes.
Just like the good old (far inferior) periodic table, mix’n'match for more complex elements, so a female dwarf ninja would be (for example), NDw2Bb, Alien Motorcycles are MeAn, and an image of William Shatner teleporting on the internet would be ShIT. But then, you already knew that, right?
My only question is: what the heck are Mullets doing on the list?
Awesome!

The Gnome-Be-Gone GnomeBearers have struck again, stealing yet more helpless Gnomes while they quietly fish in small garden ponds. If you have any information about this crime, contact Gnomestoppers, now!
Love these. They’re available from Perpetual Kid, along with tons of other jaw-achingly cool stuff for the inner geek. And the outer geek too, for that matter.
Anyone want to stat these critters for 4e? They look like Modrons’ evil cousins to me.
From the “you gotta watch this” files. Here’s what you get when scientists fill an ant’s colony with cement. Pure. Dungeon layout. Gold. The wow factor starts about half-way through.

I’m so going to put Giant Ants into my next adventure!
