When you're dangling from a catwalk, and your only lifeline is a metal beam, the Electro-Lash's Magnetic Grip Tip becomes your best friend. Activate the electromagnetic field, and suddenly, you're swinging like a punk rock Tarzan. Just remember: it's not the fall that gets you—it's the Save vs Doom!

I fell in love with Sickest Witch from the first play. It seamlessly blends dark themes and horror,, and I stand by my original assessment that Sickest Witch is one of the most sinister RPGs I have ever played. Now I get to co-write a 3PP adventure for it.

Did any eagle-eyed readers spot this cameo in ORLA! #2?
