Can You Kill the Dog?

By Jay Castello • July 16th, 2024

If Cerberus’s anger is anything to go by, this may be a more nuanced look at the mythology the Hades games pull from.

Beware the OSR! Outcast Silver Raiders, that is.

I’m Tommy Pickles, and I’m Here to Get Shit Done

By Megan Bidmead • July 11th, 2024

I picked it up again, determined to finish it. But I got a headache from the music and I found the whole thing really frustrating.

The Burnt Offering

A giant beast from Dungeons & Dragons resembling a T-Rex, but with large spines on its back and somehow, even more teeth.

This Mortal Coyle

A simple cute smiley face on a field of white, made up of two dots and a squiggle that looks like a sideways "3."
