Please stand by…
Just to let you all know, my dead computer has made progress on the site difficult. I’ve called for more knowledgable reinforcements to assist in recovery efforts, and hope to be up and running soon. Meanwhile, updates – including several reviews, a lengthy article from Demian, and more – will

Audio Report: go forth and buy things with your dollars
It’s the holidays again, and aiding and abetting our forthcoming Gift Guides is this episode of the report. Featured at the top, though, is lengthy incredulity at the fact that the WoW CCG is okay. Also, D&D Worldwide Game Day and how it could work better. Join us!

The WoW news leads off this show, followed by another trip into the bad neighborhood that is the RPG PDF market, and some final thoughts about Gen Con SoCal before we charge into some thorough and fascinating RPG play reports from the last Endgame MiniCon. Check it.

OgreCave review: Faery’s Tale
I’d hoped to post this last Friday, but an eye appointment and my resulting dilated pupils made for rather poor typing skills. So now we have Brian “Kuma” Hollenbeck’s look at Faery’s Tale by Firefly Games. Have a read, and see what makes this versatile-yet-child-friendly RPG tick, or look over
