Mind Your Manors

<p><a href="http://www.mindyourmanorscast.com">www.mindyourmanorscast.com</a> My name is Kerry and this is my little corner of the internet to discuss the RPGs that I’m finding interesting at any given time. You can expect discussions on systems like Dungeons and Dragons, King Arthur Pendragon, Harnworld and Harnmaster, Burning Wheel, Traveller, Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green, and whatever I’m currently reading. Expect an eclectic mix a fantasy and sci-fi.</p>
