Last weekend was the 10th (maybe 11th?) annual Terminal City Tabletop Convention (though I guess it was interrupted by COVID so not actually 11?). I have to say it was probably the best yet.

I would make a bad emperor, I think. I’m not the quickest of thinkers, and when disasters happen (as they always seem to), sometimes you have to be quick on your feet, dealing with the situation at a moment’s notice. The perks would be… Continue Reading “Review – Empire’s End”
