The convention returns in earnest in July, and Paramount Pictures is proud to be the first panel in the celebrated Hall H, kicking off the weekend with a slew of activities tied to the 2023…

Now you can take Dicey Dungeons on the go Dicey Dungeons is one of those “if you know, you know” indie games — it’s garnered something of a cult following over the past three years that it’s been out, and for good reason (we gave it a 10 in our review).

Last Draws Okay, so this last tarot prediction entry is running late, but we still have weeks of streams so we’re mostly safe. My life has been in positive upheavals with minor injuries. Sprained wrists, red wine, broken pinky toe, rose incense, rugburn, neat Etsy stuff, and breaking the next toe over. That last one was this morning.
