VIDEO: Forging Thor's hammer

The fellas at Man At Arms are at it again! First they made He-Man's power sword, now they're crafting Mjolnir, the magic warhammer of our favorite avenging thunder god as it's depicted in the movies!

Captain America: Winter Soldier trailer!!

I loved the Thor and Captain America flicks that Marvel put out in the last two years--so much so that I opted not to read spoilers on any site when it came to their respective follow-ups. I wanted to try and go into the sequels with only what I would see in trailers. If Cap's sequel is even half as cool as it looks in the newly released trailer, I'll be pleased.

Here's the UK version showing before Thor (the Norse god's own sequel opens next week--November 1--- here in the States). Enjoy!

Superman Celebrates 75 Years

Wish Supes a happy anniversary with this awesome montage of him through the ages, plus some fan-made fare!



Wonder Woman Short Fan Film (2013)
THIS. IS. HOW. YOU. MAKE. A. WONDER. WOMAN. MOVIE.

Modern and mythic qualities perfectly blended. Seriously Warner Bros. get it together!

Batman: Dead End Short Fan Film (2003)
Sandy Corolla's take on Bats is 10 years old already and it's still a breath of fresh air in the Batman mythos. Some might say that it takes the genre-crossover a bit too far or the dialog isn't fully baked, but its fun take on the Joker is infectious. Plus, you couldn't do better than this for a "year one" type look for the Dark Knight himself.



P.S. Word is that Superman Vs. Batman starts filming this weekend. Seems so soon, especially when you consider the glacial pace at which WB has been weaving together their Justice League Plans!

Kickstart this: Infinite Crypt dungeon terrain system

On thing that I've always pined for is a cost-effective terrain system. RPG terrain, in general, can be really pricey. I've substituted with cheaper alternatives like aquarium terrain, toy playsets, cardboard and paper sets, etc., but it's often hard to find specific pieces (can I just get a freakin' secret door?).

I know there are molds out there, but frankly, that's a lot more work than I've currently got time to pursue. Luckily, there's now this awesome laser-cut dungeon terrain system on Kickstarter, called Infinite Crypts!

The sets come flat-packed, like Ikea furniture. They're precut and you just pop 'em out and build. The system is modular so you can arrange as desired. But don't take my word for it...





It's in the UK and the dollars-to-pounds conversion stings, but you do get quite a bit for the money, regardless.

Dungeon terrain systems are a bit of an investment. I've looked at Dungeon Forge sets and the like, but I've always come back to just having a few key pieces on the table: furniture, rocky outcroppings, pillars, and stalagmites (you get the picture). Enough to help with tactics but not over crowd the table too much. But damn, this looks enticing.

I can see more than a few pieces I'd like to have. What about you?
