RPS Talk-o-Tron Talkback-o-Tron #4

By Alec Meer on December 19th, 2008.

Time for another round-up of the more interesting recent threads on our surprisingly gentlemanly forum. Bloodshed is surely just around the corner, but for now it’s a hive of entertaining and illuminating game discussion. Yay, you.
