Atlas: Enchanted Lands is a new card game coming out… Continue Reading “Atlas: Enchanted Lands – New From Renegade Games”
I love books. Books make me happy. The feel of the paper as you turn the pages. The new book smell. The tap of your finger on the screen as you go to the next page… Wait, what? Anyway, books are awesome. I can… Continue Reading “Review – Biblios”
