Please send your opinions on casting decisions for the part of Elminster to… someone other than us.
Z-G Succumbs To Obvious, Puts Robot Parts In Tiny Cardboard Boxes
While I was looking for a link for the FR press release above, I found a different one saying the folks at Atomoton plan to have Z-G “Booster Boxes” on the market by year’s end.
