    Ballads of Oraed is a beautiful jaunt into a world of fantasy adventure; its pages dripping with theme and inspiration, it brings its world of high magic to life evoking all the best in classic D&D. As a gazetteer of Oraed, it fills you with the warm feeling that you’re reading the storybook dropped from a world not your own. Unfortunately, as an RPG supplement it falls far short.

    Settlers of a Dead God brings grime, terror, and mystery to its insectoid player characters, crawling their way on and through their world: the corpse of a decaying giant. There’s a lot to say for the weirdness and potential of this book, brought out by an alien, organic art design, but the details of its delivery have less to recommend them.

    Ultraviolet Grasslands redefines the RPG adventure, honoring its many influences even as it surpasses them to become something new unto itself.

    When we all heard that Skibidi Toilet, the series of machinima videos about toilets with human faces going to war, was being made into a movie, a lot of questions came up. Questions like "What are you talking about?" and "Huh?" and "What? Why? Why would you do that? How could a just and loving God allow something like this to happen?"We now have more information, but not enough to even begin answering these questions. What will this movie look like or be about? I have no idea.
