Posted by on 25 Jan 2012 | Tagged as: Announcements, Links

Last February, Mark at BURNING ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE posted a very nice review of A Lightbringer Carol and Metamor City in general, which I have just discovered due to the powers of the Interwebs (and my own attempts at reconstructing the Metamor City feed).

Thanks to Mark for bringing the love!

Under construction…
