The Cat with a Really Big Head is a collection of short stories, poems if you will, from Lenore artist and author Roman Dirge. Lenore is kinda cute, kinda morbid but The Cat with a Really Big Head is far darker and it is easy to believe stories like Monsters in my Tummy were written […]

Kickin’ it Old School: A Review of How to Game Master Like a Fucking Boss
In the wonderful world of tabletop role-playing games, there are two separate yet equally-important schools of thought: the “old-school” style of play perpetrated from classic editions of Dungeons & Dragons through the 80s, and the “new-school” style of play coming from the rising indie RPG movement of the late 90s through now. How to Game Master Like a […]

Competition: Win Finn Fancy Necromancy
Geek Native’s review of Finn Fancy Necromancy described the book as a mix of comedy and darkness. It’s a comedy, yes, but it’s also a book about a necromancer wrongly (probably) sent to an especially hellish jail for a crime he did not commit. Randy Henderson’s interesting novel is now out in paperback and you […]

We’ve an Emperor of a powerful (but not as powerful as they once were) and chaos worshiping set of warriors […]
