Thankful for Nintendo and D&D Club

Introduction As you can see, I themed the page for the Christmas holiday season. Right now, I plan to use this for December and January, but I might change my mind when Christmas is over as this is a very December focused theme right now. Eventually, I want to have a rotating theme for each […]

Thankful for Thanksgiving 2022

Introduction Fear not, faithful reader. This week neither represents a rapid and sudden disinterest in the page nor one of our patented extended absences.

Hellraiser 2022: Great, Good, Decent

Introduction In my last review, I mentioned that I only consider Halloween and Scream to be worthy horror franchises. Two things as a follow up.

Curse of Strahd Part 2: For Real This Time
