In an unsurprising development, It’s taken me a month to get around to putting up a brief overview of our first KoW campaign night.

AAR: La Maisontaal, Now With 33% More Evil!
I like good scenarios. While I’ll happily sit down with friends and play a game using whatever sextet of standard setups a ruleset provides, in my heart I want more.
