Cthulhu Saves the World and Breath of Death VII Reviewed: Great RPGs
My dual reviews of Cthulhu Saves the World and Breath of Death VII, two great retro RPGs available as a bundle. Cthulhu, which was developed second, is undoubtedly the better game, but Breath of Death is worth playing too.

Yesterday I added the first new main Keybards banner since the original banner. You can see both banners appear above randomly. Back on the old blog, GECK-Tec, LePropugnator and I made a bunch of random banners over time and now I'm starting it up again for Keybards. This time, I'm probably going to be a bit more selective with the new banners (no random meme stuff, everything has to fit the theme, etc.).
Below you will always be able to see a full list of all the banners as well as credited resources and tutorials used to make them. A few fonts are missing (but they should all be free to use in these circumstances) so if anyone recognizes them please comment. All banners were created in Photoshop CS3 unless otherwise noted. Note that all the banners will have two small vertical bars on each end, some black space on the bottom and the "half-glyph" to fit into the blog theme.
More banners should be coming eventually.

Just a quick note about Bobblehunt: I released two optional .ESPs a few days ago after a user, twistedbard, requested more "real-core" options. You can find the .ESPs (together) under optional files on the FNVNexus page. The "Hardcore" .ESP removes all bonuses from all Bobbleheads, and the "Hardercore" .ESP does that in addition to removing the display stand from the Goodsprings schoolhouse.
Note that neither of these .ESPs have been tested at all by me yet. Everything should work fine since I simply disabled/removed bonuses (and the display stand in Hardercore), but play with caution (backup saves, etc.) until I can confirm that they work correctly.
