Of Mages and Mirrors, Woundgate and Worlds of Darkness

July 15, 2010
By admin

I contributed to two recent White Wolf releases: World of Darkness: Mirrors and the Mage Chronicler’s Guide. They’re both big books of optional systems and ideas. But since I hate toolkits, why the hell did they let me join the party?…

By Malcolm

January 18, 2010
By Malcolm
