Wraith. Kult. Ten Candles. Most of the Something Borg games I've read, which isn't many of them. Those are all on my "rather be dead than play that, thanks" RPG list for one reason or another. But that mostly makes them depressing. If you want something I'd be willing to call...

The local comic shop back would disagree with that contention strongly. They sold a lot more Ironwood than they did Elementals back in the day. Yes, even the Elementals Sex Specials. :) AFAIK Andrew Rev still owns the rights to the IP, so that seems a little unlikely.

Much as I like Jeff Dee's work, Death Duel With the Destroyers is still hands-down the best looking V&V modules, and the comic panels are well-written and staged as well. I think a lot of Willingham's comics industry success stems from being able to cover multiple bases. For most folks he's...

With the exception of the "afterthought" beastmaster ranger they worked fine for us in 4e. :)

Four times for me, total, and all within a year of release. As far as RPGs go, the artwork and even setting premise were pretty much lipstick on a pig of a rule system. It didn't seem quite as bad in its day, but from a 2025 OV it is a very hard pill to swallow. This is one of the games that...

Well aware. I prefer my cheesecake more artsy - Mozert, Vargas, Olivia, Frush, Ballantyne, Petty - so he's never been one of my favorites. I'll happily concede it's a striking and memorable image. Doesn't stop my quibbling with some details, though. :) Really good miniatures photography is...

Aren't scientists usually made of meat, or did I miss a development in AI research recently?

Very famous image back in the day, that. Still bemoaning the sudden and unexpected closure of RAFM earlier this year.

I actually do not feel any need to do that.

If by "striking" you mean "showing an awful lot of skin for her environment" then sure, you bet. Way too many evergreens and too much snow on those backdrop mountains to convince me she's comfortably warm even with a furred cloak. Maybe its magical items at work and she's relying on that +2...

I believe that's correct.

Yep. Strength and MR contribute far less than accumulated Threat after only a round or two, and unless the players are lackwits they'll have monsters pushed onto Defend actions in short order so they're only a menace during the players' strikes - or when they're elites. Don't miss that key bit...

So have I, but not all of those cons were gaming cons. Any big, crowded con is going to reek sooner or later, even when the attendees are wearing three-piece suits and think $100 lunch is petty change. It's a stereotype that gamers are unusually stinky.

The next (and last) of these treasure hunt games more than makes up for the early find here. Unicorn Gold's statue has never been found to this day, although several people have credible claims to having "solved" the clues in the adventure, found what they believe the real-world location is...

Am I the only one who's starting to feel like the King In Yellow is as badly overused in Mythos gaming as the Joker is over in DC? I know, I know, lots of guises, interacts more with mere mortals than most of Cosmic Horror tier Mythos types, but I see that name and all I can think is "AGAIN?"...
