May 28, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Some artists are good enough to be better known in the West than they are. One of the problems is tracking down the origin of the work. Naver has a profile for Useumi which takes us to Red Hong Studio and there we find out about the concept and visual artist Hong Il, An. Just […]

Clip on dice towers are a perfect way to organise your DMing

Hendrix believed that professional writers should never give their work away for free. He said that doing so online made someone into a “webscab”, which he defined as a “pixel-stained technopeasant wretch”. This caused […]
