Been a few weeks, but here's a new post on the ol' blog (and not the one I accidentally deleted last night!), wherein I use a deeply nerdy Godzilla discussion as a launchpad for a discussion on narrative theology.

Godzilla invades tabletops with massive figures, bringing back memories of a classic 1980s board game

feddit.ukGodzilla invades tabletops with massive figures, bringing back memories of a classic 1980s board game - Feddit UK> Restoration Games, which specializes in revitalizing and updating long-dormant board games, has announced Battle Monsters, a new update to the 1990s board game Battle Masters. At GAMA Expo over the weekend, Restoration Games showed off an early version of the Kaiju figures for the game. Per ICv2, the game will feature Godzilla, Kong, King Ghidorah, and Mechagodzilla. We’ll note that within the Monsterverse, Mechagodzilla is controlled using the remnants of King Ghidorah’s head, so we’re not sure how canon-accurate the game will be. > > Battle Masters was a massive board game released in 1992 by Milton Bradley. The game was a classic miniatures skirmish game, with players maneuvering their armies across a massive 5-foot by 5-foot playmat. Because of the size of the playmat, most players had to play Battle Masters on the ground, pushing their miniatures across the field. Players rolled specialized 6-sided dice to determine damage, with units getting knocked out once they took three points of damage. > > Based on the limited information we have about Battle Monsters, it’s likely that the kaiju will represent the specialized units controlled by armies in Battle Masters. Each army in the game had different kinds of specialized units with special attacks and abilities. We guess that the kaiju will be a modern implementation of this mechanic, although it’ll be interesting to see how the traditional armies in the game are used since they don’t have any ties to the “Titans” in the Monsterverse.

Bringing Godzilla to Life: A Giant Artwork on Japan’s Iwayagawachi Dam

In December 2024, Japan’s Iwayagawachi Dam became the canvas for a massive reverse graffiti artwork of Godzilla. Using high-pressure cleaning tools, Kärcher’s team transformed the dam’s surface by removing dirt and moss to reveal the iconic monster towering over a cityscape. This eco-friendly method shows how reverse graffiti can turn old structures into stunning art.
