Inq. of the Week: Quinto vs. Quinto
A while back, over two years ago it seems, we had an epic showdown Inquisition between Ian McKellen and Ian McKellen…errr, I mean between Gandalf the White and Magneto!

Primal/Within Chronicles: A Master’s Wrath, Part 1
Summer always makes gaming a bit harder. Getting a full group of players becomes a challenge and usually, by the time June hits, I’m well into my annual DM burnout.
