ODAM: Of Dreams and Magic suffers no doubt
ODAM: Of Dreams and Magic is a Kickstarter for a new tabletop RPG that supports any setting. PCs are “Anima” – those with the ability to turn dreams into reality.

The open playtest of Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Occult Adventures

The 12 Masks of Halloween: #10 Sexy Carnival
Sexy Halloween costumes are very common these days and there’s always a valid debate around this. Over on Etsy Vadimusl don’t describe these costumes as Halloween or even sexy.

Check out this Appleseed Alpha Briareos model
