[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 11800, member: 11"] Come on, there must be more to say about comic books and gaming. . . Remember the Mid to Late 80's Amazing Spider Man with the on-going Hobgoblin mystery? It was awesome with the twsist and turns - the hobgoblin that turned out to be a suicidal mind-controled patsy Flash Thompson being framed as the Hobgoblin and Spider-Man contemplating breaking him out of prison - and the whole while the Scourge of the Underworld was running around wacking has-been bad guys (and some more well-known ones too when he got lucky) - Oohh, I may have to use a scourge like character one day. . . "Who is killing all the PC's enemies?" :D In the end it turned out to be Ned Leeds, but then it wasn't Ned Leeds! And the letters columns were awesome with everyone trying to figure it out and I'd sure the writers were using the speculation in the letters to give them ideas on where to go with the story - which is an old DM trick as well. . . Always try to get your players to speculate aloud - you never know what ideas it might inspire. :D [/QUOTE]
