Ogrecave points us to The Supercrew, a role-playing game about playing yourself but with superpowers. While there are many superhero RPGs, this is the first that we know of to be done entirely as a comic strip. The preview’s narrative style even has something of an Understanding Comics vibe to it, though the art is […]
I CAN HAZ CRIT?
It was bound to happen: a thread has started on ENWorld with D&D-style LOLcats. (And for those of you unfamiliar with LOLcats, you can go to the source. For those of you unfamiliar with D&D, I can help with that too.)
Inq. of the Week: Tights and Spandex
Most of the CH crew spent the day partying at a cook out at my place- with plenty of games of course. Guitar Hero 2, Wario Ware, Wii Sports, Wii Play, Get Bit!, Celebrities, Squint, You Must Be an Idiot, and Mall of Horror all were played at some point during the party. But the […]

The kind of games selected are hilarious by themselves, but the article goes the extra distance of mocking them. A friend of mine entered a few ideas into the contest, mistaking it […]
