Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! The dungeon revival gets very real in the Exchange basement with synthesized quest music and live campaign drumming from A Stranger Leads the Dance, stargazing goblin majesty from Spife and stoned eldritch mythmakers Flickers of the Fen. Unmissable digi-medieval fantasy realms FFO: Mortiis Era 1, Klaus Schulze, Camelot, Runescape, urban LARPing."
