Dying on Strings – Final Girl – Carnage at the Carnival Review
As a kid, I was never really that fond of puppets. It’s not that they creeped me out, necessarily. They weren’t like clowns.

Seeing the Northwest Sights – Cascadia: Landmarks Expansion Review
Having lived in the Pacific Northwest for over 25 years, I can definitely say that it’s one of the most beautiful areas on Earth, both on the US side and the Canadian side of the border.

The Eternal Artifacts – Vale of Eternity: Artifacts Review
Sometimes game expansions add some much-needed variety to a game that enhances it, maybe fixing something that players have found wrong or missing in the base game. Other times, an expansion adds some unnecessary junk that makes a game more complicated or less enjoyable… Continue Reading “The Eternal Artifacts – Vale of Eternity: Artifacts Review”
Evolution is Legendary! – Doomlings: Legends of Enderas review
