OgreCave reviews: Yog-Sothoth and an Exosuit
Sounds like a quirky sit-com title, doesn’t it? But no, it’s our latest reviews! Demian has looked deeply into the abyss of Shadows of Yog-Sothoth by Chaosium, and given us whatever sane thoughts he has left. Also, Cedric’s review of Exosuit AOK by Deep7 should enlighten any reader, otaku or not.

Today’s batch of reviews adds some humorous titles to our library. Justin gives us his take on Solid! from Wingnut Games, which he wasn’t impressed with for several reasons. Then Matthew describes Kung Fu Samurai on Giant Robot Island from Z-Man Games, and quotes some of his favorite cards in the process.

OgreCave reviews: Cthulhu Dark Ages & One False Step
As this fine Tuesday draws to a close, I’m finally able to get back online and get some reviews up. Matthew gives us his analysis of Cthulhu Dark Ages by Chaosium, and he pulls no punches. Then Demian tells us about One False Step for Mankind by Cheapass Games, and how he got to color a bunch of poker chips. Pull up a chair and have a look.

OgreCave reviews: Argonauts and Campers
Let’s get our reviews rolling ahead again with a d20 PDF and a card game. Justin gives us the details on The New Argonauts by Sean K. Reynolds Games, but even after reading his review, it’s all Greek to me. And I regret saying that last bit so much, I’m hoping Summer Camp by Dead Ant Games might be able to cheer me up. Demian provides his insight on the humorous card game.

OgreCave review: A Kringle in Time
Just in time for an epic holiday-themed adventure (other than Christmas gift shopping, that is), Demian has provided us with a review of A Kringle in Time by Cumberland Games & Diversions. This downloadable adventure for the Risus system gives new meaning to the term “Christmas slay,” and yes, I spelled that right. Read on, and you’ll see why.

OgreCave reviews: David & Goliath
No, we’re not reviewing the Old Testament. However, the theme of little versus big is central to Playroom Entertainment’s recent card game, David & Goliath. Heather has joined our review team to give her opinion of this intriguing trick-taking game. Would it make a good gift to give this season? Read on to find out.

Betrayal at House on the Hill reviewed; millions tremble
When I first got a draft of this review from our freshman staffer Dave Chalker, I had just gotten back home from watching Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back on Chris’ big screen, and I thought up this brilliant announcement post that had Dave as the young Padawan and all this other crap. I have since forgotten it. Also, I have not thought of anything clever regarding Halloween and the fact that it’s a haunted-house game. Whatever, anyway, he reviewed Avalon Hill’s Betrayal at House on the Hill and I guess he liked it, gimme a drink.

OgreCave review: Dungeons of Doom
The latest map set from Green Ronin is in Matthew’s hot little hands, and he’s given us his impressions of it. See whether Dungeons of Doom scored well with him, or if he’d rather shelve it in someone else’s bookcase.
