Wrath & Glory is a tabletop RPG system for Warhammer 40,000. I found it through a Humble Bundle sale, and recently I read through the book and ran a test game. I enjoy the system and intend to run more games, but I know that building a character can often be intimidating for new players. In this po...

I'm rewatching every episode of the Man from UNCLE series from start to finish. This review contains major spoilers for this episode.
