This week's roundup of what caught my eye on the internet.
Pacific Rim The Black
If you are a Kaiju fan then you will probably have enjoyed the two Pacific Rim movies. The debate rages on about whether the second movie was any good and whether or not Guillermo del Toro will ever return to the franchise.
However, this week Netflix released a 7 part anime series called Pacific Rim: The Black.
The creators of Pacific Rim have created an engaging and epic setting and one which definitely deserves a Role Playing Game adaptation. It blends two of the best things of of modern Japanese culture; Giant Kaiju Monsters and Gian Mecha Robots.
What isn't to like.
8 year old Invents Kickstarter Smash Hit Dungeon Crawl Boardgame
 |
| Coraquest by Cora & Dan Huges |
CoraQuest, a dungeon crawling co-operative family boardgame, is the brainchild of Cora (8) and Dan Huges (44) who have been making game review videos as Dice Tower content creators for 4 years.
The duo from Huddersfield started designing the game as a home schooling project during Lockdown and decided to put it on Kickstarter where it raised over £150,000. They have garnered a slew of media interest and have been featured on the BBC and in The Guardian.
If your kids are bored of Labyrinth but too young for D&D then this could be the game for you. Pre-order Coraquest on Gamefound for a measley £30.
Oh and for the record Dad's are awesome.
