\"\"Find the enigma within the enigma as the Gaming Hut<\/strong> hosts a look at existential mysteries.<\/p>\n

In Ask Ken and Robin<\/strong> we find the key to a Gerald Sears question about Parisian official\u2019s bid to remove the love locks from the Pont des Arts bridge.<\/p>\n

How to Write Good<\/strong> serves up tips on character names.<\/p>\n

Finally in the Eliptony Hut<\/strong>, we examine Ilya Ivanov\u2019s attempt to hybridize humans and chimpanzees.<\/p>\n

Ken and Robin have oft been accused of being cards. Well, we can deny it no longer. We have become super-limited promo cards<\/a> for Murder of Crows<\/em>, Atlas Games\u2019 fast-paced card game of murder and the macabre, for two to five players in the mood for something a little morbid. It’s Edward Gorey meets Caligari, by way of Edgar Allan Poe. Wait a minute, what does that graphic say? I\u2019m not so sure about this\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ken fans who did not partake of the Kickstarter will want to sink their fangs into the pre-order for the Dracula Dossier<\/em><\/a> from Pelgrane Press, consisting of the Director’s Handbook<\/em> and Dracula Unredacted<\/em>. \"\"<\/a> You say that’s still not enough Ken for you? Very well, my friend. His brilliant pieces on parasitic gaming, alternate Newtons, Dacian werewolves and more now lurk among the sparkling bounty of The Best of FENIX Volumes 1-3<\/em>, from returning sponsors Askfageln<\/a>. Yes, it’s Sweden\u2019s favorite RPG magazine, now beautifully collected. Warning: not in Swedish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In a move that surely violates someone\u2019s security clearance, this episode is also brought to you by the Kickstarter for Delta Green: the Roleplaying Game<\/a><\/em> from our friends at Arc Dream Publishing. Add to the awesomeness of this classic setting of Mythos espionage, now its own standalone game.<\/p>\n
