Playing Dungeons & Dragons for the first time this century

This article comes fromDen of Geek UK. They are all guys though. I dont know how typical that is, but I do know how stereotypical. I think with practice I could just about manage a dice bag.

The Flash Season 3 Premiere Review: Flashpoint

Well, that doesnt happen here. Is it possible that I just missed these characters and this world, and thats coloring my perception? Now, lets get into the spoiler stuff… Flash Facts! Ill be honest, the shows version is better. Kid Flash, as if you didnt know, first appeared inThe Flash#110 in 1959.
