Some Words from the Community

Every month, we'll spotlight some comments from the readers regarding the previous month's issues. Here's what our readers have to say about Volume 13.

"After reading (only half of) your review for Urban Fantasy, I'm ready to release my grip on yesteryear's "great reviewer" title. I only got this far before having to stop from laughing so hard: "As I made the journey to the cave, I had to battle many enemies, and thus had to heal my party often. Checking the status screen of our heroes, I made a most fascinating discovery!" I'm nowhere near finished, but I think this is becoming my favorite OHR review of all time." -Pepsi Ranger, Internet Walrus Forums

" The Magnus comic is good like the last issue's. I'd be interested to see kennechi make a game with serious intent. RMZ's comic is interesting, although I found it a bit awkward that we have Santa in April. Perhaps the comic ends in December?" -OOIA, Slime Salad Forums

"At first I was excited because I thought someone had actually started on an "OHR Brawl" game, but then disappointed when none of the images had anything to do with the person they were supposed to represent."  -JSH, Slime Salad Forums

"The Eggie review was the best part of the issue. I got quite a kick out of it (especially since I reviewed Urban Fantasy when it came out...quite a blast to the past). Ah, good IRC memories starring Eggie and his teenage problems. Those were good times." Shadowii, Slime Salad Forums
