Welcome back, dear reader! Yes, it is the beginning of the end of Summer 2016 but don’t let that get you down! There’s so much to discuss and enjoy yet! GenCon 2016 in beautifully accessible Indianapolis Indiana was a blast, again, this year. If you weren’t able to make it out to the gaming […]
Wow! We’ve had the pleasure of being tapped to write a spooooky D&D adventure for a theater company: Team Awesome Robot!!!
