Yup. That’s right. They get even more cunning when it comes to the undead mashups. We’ve had Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Android Karenina, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and even Paul is Undead that features the Beatles as zombies. Where can we go from their? The clever publishers (not to mention author Kevin David Anderson […]
Can a cat play Star Trek: The Game?
This is an oldie but it’s a goodie. Poor Danforth gets left alone on game night and only has Gloria the cat to play Star Trek: The Game with. A number of questions come to mind. Who will win? Just how is the cat going to roll the dice in the first place? Just how […]
