Everything is Scoring

More details about Warhammer 40K 7th Edition are appearing. This time through the Facebook page of the Overlords Podcast from London.

People say Warhammer Fantasy is dead? Not in the Czech Republic, so much is certain. Admittedly, the people at Smrtihlav 2014 didn’t bring any dice or miniatures. They dressed up in full LARP-gear to battle it out in the Old World. Sources (and more pictures…. a lot more) Veverka983 Lucas Makovicka Martin Janca  Warhammer @ Smrtihlav 2014 […]

There have been a few teasers for the 4th Season of Game of Thrones (the TV show), though the latest one, released today, gives probably the best insights into what will be covered. Warning: I did read the books! If you didn’t and fear to be spoiled… stay out! It’s been a while (well, years) […]

Game of Thrones Pop-Up Guide to Westeros

YouTube

Remember those little pop-up books, mostly made for small children, where little 3D structures would unfold when you open a page? Well, Insight Editions have engineered the (possibly) greatest version of that with their Pop-Up Guide to Westeros, themed to the Games of Thrones TV series (more so than the books).
