Welcome to the September 2009 issue of HamsterSpeak, the internet magazine dedicated to games designed with the OHR RPG Creation Engine.

This month, we've got a special Best of HamsterSpeak issue, celebrating the best content from Volumes 13 through 24. We'll be back to our regular format next month, but for now, sit back and enjoy a walk down memory lane with some of the best reviews, features, and art work from the second full year of HamsterSpeak. If you're aching for new content, don't worry, we've got a preview of Volume 30 for you to enjoy.

If you want your game to be previewed or reviewed, or if you are interested in writing for us, send us an e-mail and let us know!
