Maleficent, Evil never looked so Good

Captain America, Spycraft at its Best
Spoiler Free!
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is an exciting sequel to the first film. The timeline places the action after The Avengers and Thor: Dark World in the Marvel movieverse.

Choose your Gaming Poison, Part 1
I was talking with a fellow Meetup member this weekend and he asked me, “What is the best store to host an RPG at?” I couldn’t help but smile and nod back to him as I fully understood his frustration.
