Pawn of the gods: A Magic of Myths review
Season two of Corey Brotherson and Sergio Calvet’s Magic of Myths came out in July of this year. That was quite a gap from the first season which was published back in 2010. I’m sure it was worth the wait – although, in my case, I read both as a bundle. In fact, I read […]

Wizards without Coats: Surprise!
Not the expected surprise. < PreviousWizards without CoatsNext > Well, the wizard said this would aid us in a surprise attack. Oh, those wizards. Imagine arming the group’s fighters with some party bags along with instructions to leap out from behind the bush. “Surprise!” It’s the wrong sort of party surprise.
