Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Intellivision Style

Advanced Dungeons and Dragons on the Intellivision held some mystic for me when I was a kid. First of all when I was little Dungeons and Dragons had a weird aura of danger and mystery surrounding it thanks to all the weirdos who thought it could lead you into Satanism.

Female Armor Doesn’t Work

College Humor really drives home the point of how female armor in fantasy settings is less than ideal protection. I’m sure we’ve all realized this, but have chosen to ignore this basic fact in order to admire hawt chicks that fight dragons, trolls and what not. At least, I know I have.

D&D’s Warduke

I have almost no memories of the D&D action figures from the 1980s, except for the fact I always thought it was bizarre that they made a series of action figures that were no way related to the cartoon. Regardless, Warduke is one sweet looking character, due to his powerful helmet.

Step Back into the Mists of Crap with D&D DragonStrike!

I went through a period back in my early twenties where I fell back in love with a game called HeroQuest. If you don’t know the glory that is HeroQuest, it’s a board game that came out in the early 1990s and its similar to Dungeons and Dragons, but with much more [...]

D&D Kills with the Help of Satan!

If there’s one thing that the Bible has taught me, it’s that Dungeons and Dragons is evil.
