[QUOTE="Mucus von Spidtle, post: 3215419, member: 13126"] Vote 1 for great comic/story. I don't purchase/read any comics other than skimming the odd one in the FLGS but this one has got me waiting for each month's instalment. Like others, I found it hard to read at first but after about the 10th one and finding myself completely lost, I went back and started over and it all fell into place. I love the originality of the monsters as the main characters with very few "normal" races (elves, dwarves, humans etc) around. Original story, and funny in a black humour kind of way. There are references to the D20 and older editions of DnD system all through it, e.g. Downer gets in a fight with kenku, the next strip starts with a shot of him after killing them all and some notes on his condition: hp = 3 and looking like crap. Or the copper dragon that gets a gift of a 1st ed monster description of a copper dragon. Downer is a bad guy but a likeable one. A nice change of pace from the rest of the magazine but if Paizo decide to pull it then I hope Kyle keeps it going as a web strip. Probably what hurts it most is that Kyle only gets 2 pages to cram everything in, more space might make it easier for more people to get into... Can't wait to see how things work out for Downer and his weird friends. [/QUOTE]
