In this episode, probably for the first time ever, we don't review a game - gosh! Instead, we talk about game art and art in games. It's a fun conversation and I for one enjoyed it. However, we do briefly, oh so briefly, talk about solo RPG products.

Wow, it's been a while, huh? Life is busy lately and there just isn't much time to game, not even solo. Still, here we are with another episode and this time we cover two games! Well, both are pretty similar. Actually, both are about the same game with a different setting.
