As the title of the last Smash Up expansion suggests, an Obligatory Cthulhu Set has become de rigueur for any game line (heck… you almost have a Cthulhu Monopoly in The Doom That Came To Atlantic City).

Loius Porter Jr. Designs Image Portfolio 27
I have been a longtime fan of Louis Port Jr. Designs’ Image Portfolio series. I can remember the first time I discovered the wonders of royalty free stock art back in 2008 and have been hooked ever since. The series has certainly come a long way. Early editions were (mostly) black and white collections that […]
Wordless fantasy: Butterfly Gate review
Butterfly Gate is all sorts of different. The main way in which Butterfly Gate will be different from the other comics in your collection – unless you’re something of a master – is that Butterfly Gate has no text. There’s neither dialogue nor description. In other words; all you get are image panels. Impressively, Butterfly […]

Samurai Kings – Sengoku Basara: The Last Party
Sengoku Basara began life as a Capcom video game franchise and has characters named after real people from the Sengoku era of Japan. The series spawned two anime seasons in which the various samurai warlords and their armies faced off a larger army led by a more powerful warlord. Sengoku Basara: The Last Party is […]
Murderworld (TSR Marvel Super Heroes)
The first published adventure I ran my Marvel group through was Murderworld, one of the many adventures written for the Marvel Super Heroes role playing game. This adventure was written specifically for the Fantastic Four so right off the bat one of the limitations for Murderworld is that it is best suited for a party […]
Ghost in the Shell: Arise “Ghost Pain” review
“Ghost Pain” is the first episode of the re-imagined Ghost in the Shell OVA. It may be one of only four in the series as each episode is intended to receive a limited cinema release in Japan a month before the Blu-ray release. Ghost in the Shell features a new voice cast. We also have […]
