Is it? You might be right, but frankly, the same goes for them in all ways: They have had money troubles lately and are distributed by PRH. I honestly can't keep track of how often Licenses switch between them. Even (creator owned) Usagi Yojimbo left Dark Horse for IDW and then came back to DH...

I like her, but I don't think there's any reason to have her in the new DCU. Mamoa is playing Lobo simply because it is the role he was born to play. Aquaman was not.

Team Caves When the group finally left the dig-site cavern and moved eastward down the steep slope into the "grotto" with its petrified Treants, Ironthorn stood in front of his dead "father-uncles" and bowed his leafy head. Moving on, the group descended another steep slope, past a pool of...

I sell comics for a living and I'd say there's been... a very little mention of it. Enough to know it exists, but they're not exactly shouting it from the rooftops. I think that's down to it being by IDW, who has their own money issues, and Penguin Random House (their distributor) is, as far as...

Let's see... 1e: Level 3. Didn't play 1e for long. 2e: Level 16 legitimately, something like 22 after playing with a monty haul DM. 3e: Like Level 7? I mostly DMed, and even so, I didn't like the edition above that Level. 4e: Two campaigns that went through the full 1 to 30. 5e: Level 12. All...

That is what I mean by "turned it off". Mage Hand isn't strong enough to break the thing, but it's manually disabled, yes. You have a basic rudimentary understanding of how it works (which is better than most under Blackpeak) but still, it was simply guesswork.

You piled bodies inside it and "turned it off". What that means exactly is unclear, but seems likely that it can't be used remotely.

Oh, and @Fenris-77 regarding Little Paradise = Shrimp Heaven... I think subconsciously I must have got it, but it never came to the fore. Because I kept reading your description of her over and over thinking, "There's an ingredient here, but I can't tell what it is!" I think, had you not used...

I'd like to compete again. All the good entries, but particularly @Fenris-77's last couple of entries made something click for me that I'd like to try and see how I do. Hopefully I'll remember it next year (and notice the thread in time to sign up before the spots fill!) But I enjoyed my first...

I kind of agree with you, but on the other hand, I feel that real people are far too complex for D&D's "six ability scores" and can often be both excellent and terrible in the same ability, depending on what part of that ability score you're referring to at any given moment. Take myself, for...

I'm in exactly the same boat with my golden retriever. She'll be 14 in January, and a few months ago she was so sick, that we took her to the vet with the understanding that "today might be the day", but we were advised to "give her the weekend" and she got better. She has mobility issues, and...

Team Fusion Svetlana's voice snarled in Aywin's head, with her usual unpleasantness, "Yeah, well... I can see the great big lump of the Hydra down there, but if there's a stupid statue, or whatever, he's probably sitting on it." Which wasn't far from the truth. As Shade-9 pushed forward...

You got a lot of it right, which is laudable.
