Posted on March 1, 2021 by MishaBurnett

I got to listen to the audio files for Endless Summer over the last few days. I was blown away. Seriously, the experience of having the stories read to me, one after the other, was so intense that I had … Continue reading →

I am in a new collection. The ebook has just gone live, the paperback should be coming soon. As the cover implies, this is the second volume in a series. The editors got so many quality submissions that they decided … Continue reading →

Florida Man

Posted on September 6, 2020 by MishaBurnett

To make it very clear, I am talking about the Audiobook in this review, and not the Graphic Novel project with the same name. Given that they use the same cover art, I am guessing that they are the same … Continue reading →

Posted on August 15, 2020 by MishaBurnett

Last night, on Roll20, I was part of a one-shot playtest of Venger Satanis‘ Crimson Dragon Slayer system. CDS is a “rules light OSR game ruleset”–but that description doesn’t do it justice. Think back to playing with toys as a … Continue reading →
