Proof of the Decline of Gaming
Thursday, December 23rd, 2010I’ve heard a lot about the decline of gaming (or to be a bit more focused RPGs) in 2010. I’ve just read the final, ultimate, absolute proof that gaming isn’t what it used to be. The reports of the theft of 1,753 cards with a value of just under $45,000 from WotC demonstrate the depths […]
