By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 23 January 2019 Any game with a solid setting is worth its weight in gold, in my opinion. When there’s enough to make the world feel alive, full, and nuanced enough to require study, I can’t help but love it even more. This is the very line of thought that urged... Continue Reading →
While I've been grumbling quite a bit about the various problems with 7th Sea Second Edition, especially the metaplot, I have to say that I've always been curious how they would handle the novels. The first novel, Daughter of Fate (which I reviewed here), was thrown to us with little warning beyond the promise of... Continue Reading →
After reading and reviewing the first two volumes of the new Doctor Strange comic, I was curious how they would continue the series. I mean, the last volume ended with magic as we know it being exterminated from the world, and the last vestiges of it trapped in items (many of which were weakened and/or... Continue Reading →
One of the perks of working in a library: I can get my hands on just about any book I want. One of the downsides of working in a library: it can take months to finally get it. Thus the case with the belated review of Rogue One. While I didn't feel that Rogue One... Continue Reading →
After reading The Wyrmwood Deceit, I wanted to see more of what is in the world and, as novels tend to have more in-depth details due to narration, I was hoping "The Corroded Man" would fill that itch.

While I can't afford to keep up with EVERYTHING, I do love it when I can borrow the trade versions of comics from the library. It does mean I'm normally 6+ months behind, but I can at least say that I am getting to know our collection a bit better. This time around, I found... Continue Reading →
Prior to taking my first swordsmithing class with Sam Salvati, I never heard the name "Ewart Oakeshott" before. During my first class, though, we were allowed to browse through a copy of the book "The Sword in the Age of Chivalry," as it explained the type of sword we were making as well as offered designs for...

I'll be honest: I never really got into Doctor Strange before. My primary experiences with the character were always from other comic lines and guest appearances, and he always came off as a superbly powerful character that was sidelined for whatever reason. The last time I saw him make appearances in comics were in the... Continue Reading →
