The concluding part, and from Venger’s posts (Artpunk vs Jakeying? Sign me up hoss!) I glean that he may have sensed the direction the review was going to take. Writing a negative review for a person you like always sucks but unfortunately part of one’s duty as a reviewer is unfailing honesty. Chartreuse Shadows has … More [Review] Chartreuse Shadows Pt.

Continuing where we last left off, the Second Part of Elves concerns the Ice Elf. Aah the Ice Elf. Bereft of a suitable tolkinian analog, or perhaps written by an altogether more talented designer, this part is far superior to the Wood Elf in terms of both creativity and execution.
