I am still new to Illustrator, currently doing a course on it. I am looking for some free, border brushes to install. Can anyone recommend a safe, reliable site I can look at? I am always a little nervous about downloading stuff from random sites.

I was toying around with a semi-abstract Roll20 setup for Savage Worlds designed to communicate some of the key information that Savage World combat requires without going the whole maps and miniature route. I generally prefer loose, theatre of the mind style gaming. I've attached a screenshot...

What is link between the Hammer movie Twins of Evil and the DCAU animated Justice League? The sound track of course! How 'bout that?

I came across this article on Reddit stating that the Unity game engine changing it's terms of use and retroactively game developers for each instance of a Unity-based game installed by players anywhere. The source quoted is this...

Just spotted and advert for D&D (the game, not the movie) on TV (Sky News). I am not entirely sure, but looks like they are selling it at newsagents as a collectible magazine series with a little minature each month or something - they do that a lot over here. I don't have much more to say, the...

"The kingdom is locked in a bitter civil war between the forces of King Roderick, "The Unworthy" and his elder, undead brother Zombie Prince Duncan. Amdist the turmoil of war, mischief and opportunities abound..." I am running a series of light-hearted, episodic fantasy adventures. The...

I am looking at these games as a birthday gift. I don't have much experience with the Storyteller/WoD sort of games, and none of them good. But this range caught my attention. If anyone has read/played any of these I'd like to hear their opinions. What I'd be looking for is something that: Has...

It is said in the ancient Norse prophecies that when the "What's New" board is filled with Fenris, that will be the final sign that Ragnarok has begun. We came so very close today.

I posted a game recruitment advert on Roll20, first time ever. I've got my first response. The potential players is asking where to post his "application". What is an application in Roll20 context? What is it I should be doing when looking at game sign ups? I kind of assumed it would be...

I've listed a game on Roll20. As the title says it a Mutant Chronicles one-shot game using Savage Worlds for Monday May 22, 19:00 UK time (18:00 UTC). It's my first attempt at running something on Roll20 so it might be a little rough. If you are interested, the details and sign up is here...

I've been on a little journey, playing catch up with the VTT world. It's easy enough to understand how moving token over a map might work (even when my face-to-face gaming has been largely threatre of the mind anyway) but learning about VTT, the automation and how companies now sell virtual...

What ever happened to the Easter Egg Dance? Brought to you by Pieter Brueghel the Younger and the letter 'E'.

The principle of least astonishment is a design concept that suggests that things should work the way it users expect it to work. It's not about the best or most efficient option, it's the lowest barrier to use option. Or something. There is a proper definition here...

I've mentioned this game before on the Pub, some regulars even took part in the playtest, but it's ready now to be release to the world so that is can be politely ignored, as is the fate of most games. The pdf for Polar Fudge Medieval Adventures is free to download here...
