    Downer Summary

    Thanks for the encouragement, Piratecat, Henry and Erik Mona. I got a secret thrill that I drew a response from you guys when I surreptitiously read the boards at work today. It has inspired me to continue. I'll finish out. Hopefully it will inspire at least one person to read the comic. By...

    Downer Summary

    Sorry, hadn't seen the poll. I did plan this for a while, but was kinda slow. I'm not really sure that is is any better than your quick summary. I like yours especially the working dungeon security turn of phrase, but thanks for the compliment. -E

    Downer Summary

    looks like it is three episodes a night until I'm done. I think there are only 5 more until I am caught up, because I haven't received Dungeon 112 in the mail yet. Perhaps it will come today or tomorrow ;) looks like between 700 and 1000 words during an evening is what I can manage. I can't...

    Downer - I just don't get it

    Two things, One I did the first 3-4 episodes of Downer summary here: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=89298 It was more time consuming than I thought. And two, I think Erik and the Dungeon crew are doing a great job. I'm supportive of comics, adventures, and stuff for DMs in...

    Downer Summary

    I promised a summary of the Downer comic in this thread: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=88943 When I went to do it, I noticed that it was more difficult than I first thought. A few sentences could sum it up, but really a plot summary is quite involved as there are quite a...

    Downer - I just don't get it

    Downer is pretty good. I like it. The first two episodes were good, but it has been slipping a little. The plot advancement is not focused and at a certain point you have to slow the introduction of new characters and places, and work out the plot you have. But I enjoy the art and the...
