Arc Title: The Star-Dwellers
Author: @K'aji
Description: The year is 1931. A pulp-fiction author's drinking has put him in debt to bootleggers, but it's the tome that drove him mad which poses the true threat. Battle mobsters, cultists, and cosmic horrors in this tale of the early Midnight Squad.
This arc was lots of fun to play. It had very well written contact dialog and clues and made a good choce of maps. It was play-like, in that each mssion was an act. Mission 4 was especially creative. It was called Intermission and was non-combat until the end.
I really enjoyed this arc. Thanks to Lazurus for recommending it. -

Small Fears

@Wall of Knight
I found this arc in the Dev's Choice Suggestion thread and I can see why it was nominated.
It is a very creative horror arc about childhood fears. The contact dialog grabbed my attention right away. The customs, which are embody fears are very creative, though somewhat challenging. This arc is very well done and I defnitely recommend it. -

This arc has well-written contact dialog which is brief and to the point. It makes a nice use of clues and is only 3 missions. It has a good story and of course the loveable WADDLE. If you are looking for some light-hearted fun, this arc is a great choice! -
I retested this arc and all the XP issues are now fixed.
As always, feedback is welcome. -

@GlaziusF
I think the reason I dont really like the dual briefings is because my contact is out in the open but doesnt seem to have any worries about breaking her cover.
Thank you so much for all the feedback and for playing this arc yet again.
-
I tweaked this arc a little for the new release. The XP seems fine now.
As always any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

As a magical character I went and searched for a good mystic story... I found...
* Arc 373659 - Bad Voodoo (@Beyond Reach)
Great arc! Which is also a real low level arc.
Mr. Bocor has lost his Voodoo powers and you need to help him get them back.
This is a really fun arc that grabs your interest from the start. It has good contact dialog and makes great use of clues to help tell the story. I really enjoyed it! Thanks to Liz Bathory for recommending it. -

Glory Days

@Megajoule
I played and enjoyed this arc a long time ago. A recent board post reminded me of it, and so I replayed it and I liked it even better the second time. In it you relive the past "Glory Days" of a hero to help find out what is happening now.
The well-written contact dialog grabbed my interest from the start. It made a nice use of clues and for me the difficulty level was just right. What I liked best was the framing. Going back to relive the past memories from the mind of the contact in order to figure out what was happening now, made me want to keep playing to see what would happen next. -
Gratz! It can happen. It's just rare. I hope this happens more and more.

Day Job Hell: A Villain's First Day Job

@Clave Dark 5
I was looking to play a four star arc by an author I had previously enjoyed, and I found this one. You are a wanna be villain and you get a day job working for Fats Squalor (your contact). It only gets better from there. The contact dialog is well written and grabs your interest right away. There are great clues that are full of funny details and funny NPC dialog as well.
If you are looking for a low level villain arc that is funny and lots of fun to play, this is a great choice! (Nope no snakes). -

* Arc 114611 - Death of a League (@Scooter)
Great villain arc. Where you do what a villain wants too. Reduce the heroic population.
This is a well written arc that was lots of fun to play. You work for your contact to eliminate a League of Heroes. It had really nice customs and I loved the clues you got for each defeat.
If you are looking for a fun arc to play as a villain, especially with a team, this arc is a good choice. Thanks to Liz Bathory for recommending it. -

I found this arc in PW's contact tree. It is really well written and lots of fun to play. It has great contact dialog and lots of humor in clues, bios, and NPC dialog. If you like fighting Freaks and are in the mood for something fun, this arc is a great choice! -
Arc Name: The Greater Good (Vigilante Version)
Arc ID: # 395861
Morality: Vigilante
Creator: @Gypsy Rose
Difficulty Level: 45-54
Enemies: Paragon Police, Longbow, Family, Custom Group
Synopsis: What is good? What is evil? Things are not always as they seem. A mysterious organization called the Greater Good had been recruiting many of Paragon City's finest heroes. Now they want you. Will you join them?
Length: 4 missions - the first map is very small - total play time should be less than one hour
The original version of this arc was written for Dr. Aeon's challenge which required me to write an arc where a hero performed evil for the greater good. I received lots of feedback from people who did not like playing an arc in which their hero did such acts of evil. Having spent months on this arc, I decided to change it rather than throw it away.
So, I have created The Greater Good (Vigilante Version), in honor of the upcoming release of Going Rogue. In this version, your hero is a vigilante. I have made his or her actions less evil and I hope provided better motivation for them.
I want to thank all of you who provided feedback on the original version, and I would especially like to thank PW who provided lots of detailed feedback on this latest version before I changed it to Vigilante.
As always feedback would be greatly appreciated. -
Based on a lot of input from reviewers, including you, I reworked my Greater Good arc to create a new, and hopefully improved Vigilante Version which has been accepted on the mission review site.
So when you get a chance, I would love some feedback on:

I found this arc in PW's contact tree and I really enjoyed it. The contact dialog was very well written and the story grabbed my interest. The author made great use of clues to tell parts of the story. I recommend this arc if you are looking for a villainous arc that is lots of fun to play. -

Made for the first Aeon's Challenge, and if I remember correctly it was one of my favorites that wasn't dev's choiced.
This is an amazing arc. It is has a great story that made me want to keep playing. It is really well written from the contact dialog, to the clues, all the way through to the souvenir. I loved it, and for me it is a "must play"! Thank you so much Bubba for recommending this! -

This arc was very well written and had a story that kept me wanting to play. It was somewhat challenging as advertised, but I was able to solo it on a level 48 Fire Kin. There were a few small bits of humor that made me smile and some really great looking customs. If you are looking for a fun, challenging arc, this is a great choice!
At this time I am also adding another of my arcs which got a random grief rating:

Work with H. G. Wells to turn a willful young child into a hero. Travel through time, fight evil villains, solve a mystery but most of all, have fun! This arc is a modern fairytale spanning nine years in the life of Liberty Rose Jones. Help her find her destiny and in the process, find yours! -

My Arc (63175) is atm unable to be played. A recent patch has I guess lowered the amount of encounters in one or more maps. The weird thing is that I do not get any error notifications. Currently working on fixing it.
Edit:
Hopefully its fixed now. Had to remove an encounter in the third mission.

I found this arc in the Dev's Choice Suggestion thread and I can see why it was recommended. It is a dark arc that does an excellent job of conveying the theme of hopelessness suggested by the title. If you are in the mood to play something dark, I definitely recommend this arc.
