Is it possible? Sexy Sonic the Hedgehog cosplay
I’m sometimes a bit cautious using the word “sexy” to describe cosplay but in this case cosplayer Manzinat0r is okay with it. She explains; Happy new year everyone! I recently did a shoot with my “sexy” Sonic the Hedgehog costume with the amazing Greg De Stefano! I actually made most of this costume back in […]
Between the Shadow and the Light: Review of The Darkening of Mirkwood
The Darkening of Mirkwood recounts an impressive and engaging tale of the Wilderland, encompassing all the many peoples, factions and powers of the region. The fate of Mirkwood itself lies within the richly illustrated pages of this volume, drawn from an incredibly brief source… Now, I hate to sound like some stereotypical teacher stood ramrod […]

A gamemaster can sometimes find such a potential trove, not in the fictional content of some forgotten dungeon, but in the words, setting and ingenuity of a written adventure. Other times, you might come across something more commonplace and uncover a gem or two – […]
