In this final episode we’re going to discuss strategies for making an… Read More Unchartered Territory: Role playing in groups/settings that are unfamiliar to you – Part 3 of 3

Inglorious is right. The Geek Husband What Rules and I watched this last night, and were both just left cold. We agree it sucked, but he has separate reasons. Here are my reasons why this movie kind of sucked. 1. It was really two movies squished poorly together. The first movie is Shoshanna’s story, which… Read More Geek Girls Rule #165 – Inglorious Basterds
