In the best tradition of John Craven's Newsround here's my rundown of "What I Learned" on the Internet this week.
Gelatinous Cube Love Song
I've always considered Gelatinous Cubes to be unfeeling unsentient slimes with the notable exception of the Forgotten Realms Glabagool. However, Ginny Di has obviously spent far too much time considering the romantic emotions of the most famous slimes of D&D Lore, penning this 1950s style ditty of unrequited love.
Pixels - The Latest in Light Up Dice
I was recently made aware of these cool looking light up dice which might be launching on Kickstarter soon. They were supposed to go live in June 2020 but for some reason (possibly a worldwide epidemic) they didn't.
The dice are purported to connect digitally to Virtual Tabletops like Roll20 so what you roll in meatspace appears in the VTT. The designers have undergone exhaustive product testing and produced randomness comparisons with the gold standard platonic solid random number generating Gamescience Dice and those Chessex ones mere mortals use.
Clearly they know what their target market wants and, fingers crossed, they get their ducks in a row and launch soon.
Bonkers Bladesmith Fashions Real Life Gotrek Axe
YouTuber Michael Cthulhu has excelled himself once more and made a life size replica of the famous Axe from Warhammer's Gotrek and Felix novels. No stranger to building stupid sized axes, Michael has really gone balls out on this one and you can follow every step of the way in his 4 part series on YouTube.
Mike is a larger than life character but this time he is dwarfed (pun intended) by the size of this iconic weapon, wielded by one of Warhammer's most iconic characters. As part of a charity live stream raising money for Doctors Without Borders (Medicine Sans Frontier), Mike shaves his hair and cosplays as the famous Dwarf before taking one for the team and needing medical attention himself.
Are you Struggling to Find a Roleplay Group Near You?
It's hard enough to find likeminded Tabletop RPG fans near you at the best of times but this has only been made worse by the current year predicament and the various lockdowns which have been imposed on everyone.
At Dragons Keep we are looking to recruit players from our local area (South East London) in anticipation of our venue reopening in the very near future so that we can return to playing face to face as soon as possible.
Our Tabletop RPG Club is in Chislehurst, South East London, within easy reach of Bexley, Bromley, Dartford, Eltham, Greenwich, Lewisham, Sidcup and Orpington. But that's too far a commute for many people and whilst we are playing online games it is a purely temporary measure.
We thought it would be helpful to provide some tips and tools to help you find a local group which is right for you.
