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.

OgreCave review: Omlevex
Sounds like a futuristic shopping complex, doesn’t it? But no, Omlevex by Z-Man Games is a multi-system superhero RPG supplement, and the latest addition to our reviews. Have a look at what Matthew had to say, and get into the proper mindset for some Silver Age comic book heroism. But put that cape away, it’s not flattering on you at all.

OgreCave reviews: Hero Force, Disaster, & Snipe Hunt
We’re going back to our Tuesday-Thursday pattern of review updates, starting with a batch of three fun little games.

Then Merwin points out a lesser-known company, Pegamoose Games, and its new game, Snipe Hunt.

OgreCave review: Now Playing
To start the week, Matthew gives us a review of Now Playing, the roleplaying game for channel surfers from Carnivore Games. Did the game keep him glued to the - uh, book? Or did it drive him to put it down and go watch reruns? Read on to find out.

OgreCave review: D6 Adventure
Back in the day, Merwin wasn’t that thrilled by West End’s d6 system. Has the new version, in the form of D6 Adventure, changed his mind? And what about Lauren? Will she ever be able to tell Dirk how she really feels? And is Timmy still trapped in the well? Find out some of these things (well, just one, really) in our new review.

OgreCave review: The Noble’s Handbook
With our latest review, we welcome Justin into our midst, and he’s decided to pull up a stone and stay a while. His first review here at the Cave takes a look at The Noble’s Handbook by Green Ronin Publishing. After his look at this d20 supplement on upper crust society, Justin found many things to comment on, some flattering and others, not so much. Have a look.
