System Mastery 225 – Marvel Multiverse RPG Playtest
Reviewing a playtest? That doesn’t seem right! Well, it certainly isn’t in our usual bag of tricks, but hey, this is a rare situation where someone writing a modern game […]

Movie Mastery – Dirty Love (2005)

Expounded Universe 204 – I Try to Say Goodbye and I Choke
I can’t help but wonder just exactly how much of this book is Jedi school. It became increasingly weird to deal with a book about a missing wife, clearly in […]
