Last Wednesday was quite likely our last game for a bit, as our illustrious Dungeon Master, Christiana, has been summoned forth to another continent for her dayjob. That being said, she had some serious plans in place to pit the Heroes of Legend up against their own choices once and for all, as they were […]
I spent my week dragging out the delightful listening to 2015 Nebula Award nomination, “Waters of Versailles” by Kelly Robson during my workouts. Posted in three relatively long episodes over on Podcastle, and narrated by Heath Miller, it was the perfect distribution of an intriguing story and brief interview with the author between four workouts […]
