Black Butler live action trailer
I’m not sure what I made of the anime Black Butler series. I started to watch it but then it was overtaken by others. Even though the butler, Sebastian Michaelis, is one Hell of a butler and he helps his lord out of all sorts of situations I suspect I’m not entirely the target audience. […]

Creativity Kills: Interesting ways to slay your foes in D&D
Warning; NSFW language in places. This is a year old video from CrossPlatform ActionSquad in which they reminisce on murderous adventures, lucky dice rolls and players hacking through the zombie threat in unexpected ways.
