Click on thumb to see full Oh, man, this thing. I would’ve been about 14 at this point and it really does show: the map is mostly a conglomeration of D&D cliches (separate kingdoms for elves and dwarves and orcs and even lizardmen and Snake People), ideas lifted wholly from the low-grade fantasy I was […]

22.4.2013 It was not the first time I had enjoyed an espresso with Metromonte (never “Mr. Metromonte,” and I doubt it was his first name – unless he had decided it would be his only name, but it seemed rude to inquire), but it was the first time I chose to inquire about his means […]
