"They are not meant to be individuals. It seems odd? How many Dr. Manhattans, Rorschach's, etc. did you see after Watchmen was released? How about Spidermans everytime another of those come out? See my point? "

yes, i do, but there weren't multiple DR. M4nhattan clones in game at the same time, because of the name filter. If you had a Mr Cold, a Mr Icy, a Mr Chilly and a Mr Fridge in your arc, i wouldnt have noted this issue, whixh although small, does, for me, stop it short of a 5.

If Mr Cold had only appeared once, then i wouldnt have this slight irk either. I met at least 10 Mr Colds, and i think the repetition dulls the parodies impact a little.

Bear in mind we are talking about the difference between a 4 and a 5 here. I know you think anything but a 5 is worthless, but 4 isreally verygood IMO.

Its a great little arc, i just think it could be better is all.

Is the queue in the first post accurate as of now?

Old Dog,, New Trick, Arc ID 81318, by @Wrong Bird. Long (3 Medium maps), heroic, lvl range is rather varied to be honest, might want to have a look at evening it out a bit (unless there’s a good reason). I’m going to take the Accelerated Man, my lvl 37 kin/rad Defender in.



The warning says there may be EBs in it, and the description informs that I’ll be helping out ‘Rex Magnus, the poster dog of the PPD’s K9 program’! Aw, a doggy in trouble! AM to the rescue!

“…Come in, come in, Gavin, how nice to see you! How was your holiday? Really? Good, good, I’m glad…oh she did? Well that’s splendid, isn’t it? …Oh, really? How annoying…you should have complained to the hotel management…and who was it, anyway? I mean, 3 am, that’s no time to be telephoning people on their holidays… Oh…well, ah…yes, sorry about that, Gavin, but it was an emergency…I couldn’t find my eyeballs…yes, I know they were in my head, but I had my eyes closed, so I panicked… Well I’m sure the rest of the time you had was wonderful, I hear that Belize is beautiful…ah, that…yes, well that was another emergency. How did I find you? Well you weren’t on the moon, Gavin! It wasn’t too difficult…where were you, anyway, that time? You did sound a bit out of breath… Oh, I see, on a yacht…with the GPS transponder switched off…and you told the hotel management you’d flown back to Paragon… Really, you actually booked out of the hotel and had your bags sent to the airport? Whatever would you want to do that for, if anyone wanted to contact you they’d have the devil of a time…ah, yes…well I guess it was lucky you didn’t pack your teeth, eh? haha…what? No, no, just my little joke…it was luck, I’m sure, that the drone found you… plucky little devil, flying all the way to Belize, eh?

“…Anyway, I’m glad you had a nice time. Sit down; I’ve got a lovely story to tell you. For once, I’ve actually done some good that didn’t involve horrible aliens or vomit-spewing zombies or whatnot. I helped a dog, Gavin! A brave little doggie! Rex Magnus, you know, the poster dog for Paragons Police dog unit. You’ve seen him on the TV. He’s great with children, and he’s a wonderful police dog too. Well, the poor little fellow got caught in an explosion, and he had to be rushed to the vet hospital. I know, it makes me well up just thinking about poor brave Rex, lying there, on his back, four little paws in the air, tongue lolling out, eyes making those little Xs like in the cartoons, whirly tweety birds rotating round his head…/sigh…

“Lt Macready of the PPD knew my brother, Science rest his soul, and he called me to ask if I could help. A doctor working for Crey had developed something that could help Rex. He’d given Macready the teleport transponder location of the Crey Base where he was stationed, but the rest of the Crey personnel wouldn’t be too happy to see me storming the place. But there was a daring little doggie’s life at stake! I had to help!

Mission 1: Find Genetic Treatment

“Well, this Doctor Cunningham was right. I was given a most unwelcome welcome by the Crey personnel at that base…Not a dog lover among the lot of them, I bet! I tried to reason with them, but sometimes, Gavin, the only diplomacy that works is an application of L = T – V, haha…



"In short, Gavin, I set about them with a will. After a few groups, I was positively festooned with excess kinetic energy…I felt like a bowling ball, Gavin! I was about to turn another Crey medic into a quivering bag of jelly when he threw his arms up and revealed that he was the Doctor I was looking for!

“He told me he’d show me where the serum was kept, and we continued through the base. He hung back mostly, whilst I dealt with any Crey who objected to my presence. He led me to a refrigeration unit, containing a lot of phials. Thank goodness he was there to show me which one I needed. After that, I thanked him and sped to the exit!

[Great fun. Sometimes, I just want a nice simple story with some mildly challenging whan-bam combat, and this is perfect for that]

“Lt Macready took the serum and rushed it to the hospital, and it was given to Rex…and it worked! His brain activity improved, and he started trying to communicate! A miracle! His poor little doggy body was still horrifically injured, however, and there was only one man who could perform the cybersurgery necessary to save him; Dr Eric Perone. Unfortunately, Macready told me, he’d been kidnapped by some Freakshow recently. Well, I wasn’t standing for that, Gaving! If Rex needed Dr Perone, then I needed to go see some Freaks!

Mission 2: Find Doctor Perone

“The old office block where the Freaks were keeping Dr Perone was dingy, dirty and smelly. And it was full of Freaks, too. They attacked me as soon as I entered, so I quickly decided that wasting time on discussion was fruitless. I set off into the depths of that horrible dive, confronting the metal-clad monsters on the way. It was most invigorating, I don’t mind saying…



“On an upper floor, I spied Dr Perone in a large room, being roughed up by some Freaks. Quite a lot of Freaks.



"They gave me a workout, certainly, but they weren’t too onerous, luckily. Dr Perone was grateful for my assistance in getting back to civilization!

[That was a nice little fightfest, I enjoyed that ]

“We rushed to the hospital so that Dr Perone could get to work on Rex at once. I paced anxiously up and down in the waiting room whilst a small poodle eyed me nervously. Macready was also pacing up and down, and biting his nails rather savagely, I’m afraid to say. He must have been even more worried than I was!

“After some hours, Perone returned, with wonderful news! The surgery had been a success! The Crey gene therapy had in fact mutated Rex somewhat, and with Perone’s
cybernetic implants, Rex was now more than just a dog. he was K10, paragon’s newest superhero! Macready, Perone and myself went to the diner next door for donuts and thickshakes to celebrate!

“After a few too many thickshakes, Macready had to go home to lie down. Perone and I managed another shake each, followed by a few shots of straight raspberry syrup, but then we called it a day…

“The next day, a press conference was scheduled for K10 to meet the Lord Mayor of Paragon and all the press, but alas, someone had kidnapped him from his hospital room! Luckily his cybernetics contained a location transponder. Macready, his stomach gurgling from a thickshake hangover, asked me to help. I of course accepted, and he instructed his techs to teleport me to the right location…

Mission 3: Find K10

“Once the teleport fuzzle had dissipated, I looked around. I appeared to be in an old Fifth Column base…strange…they’d not been seen for years…I started to explore…I was looking forward to meeting K10, I confess, Gavin. Macready had told me that the PPD psychics had been speed-teaching him English the night before, so I wondered what he’d have to say. I’d never talked to a dog before…well, of course I had, everyon’es talked to a dog, haven’t they, but I mean I’d never had an actual intelligible response, unless you count the time that my aunt Emilia’s pug sort of said ‘sausages’…

“After some caverns, I emerged into a large room. Various miscreants were gathered there, and there was Rex too! Or rather, the hero formerly known as Rex! K10, the cyberdog!



[lol K10 looks brilliant, I love him.]

“I set to the task of clearing a space for K10 to limber up. Once the room was cleared, K10 told me that the ringleader of these villains was one Junkyard Dog, and that we had to stop him. ‘Good dog,’, I said, patted him on the nose affectionately, and let him start to sniff out the boss…



“We fought our way through the base, following K10’s awesome nose. After a few scraps with the motley collection of villains that Junkyard Dog had gathered for who know what nefarious purpose, we spied the evil pooch himself! K10 was raring to be at him, so I boosted his metabolism, powered up my own systems, and we attacked!



[Sorry about the poor screenie, the phone rang during the fight and i was juggling stuff lol]

“That Junkyard Dog was a tough little doggie! While we were fighting him, he revealed why he’d kidnapped K10…it seemed that he’d been the recipient of the same serum that had boosted Rex, and he wasn’t happy that there was another super-powered dog in paragon. He seemed to have a bit of a complex about his level of intellect, to be honest, kept complaining that he wanted ‘Only Junkyard Dog be smartest dog in Paragon City!’ Actually, Gavin, I’d never say this to K10, but I don’t think Junkyard had much to worry about on that score. K10’s a lovely, er, person, but he’s never going to win any Nobel prizes…

“I actually felt a bit sorry for Junkyard at the end, he put up a fight, but with me and K10 against him, he didn’t really stand a chance. After we’d defeated him, I activated my emergency temporal shift, and teleported the three of us back to the PPD. It was the Pound for Junkyard, a well-deserved bowl of Tex Chunks for K10, and a job well done for me!”

[end]

Top banana. Great fun all round. The maps were just the right size, the villain groups are great for AM, I got a nice chunk of XP, and K10 is a wonderful creation. It’s a very simple arc mechanically, but its mix of fast paced easy-ish combat and light-hearted feelgood plot was just what the doctor ordered today. I love the title of the arc, too.

Negatives: 4 tiny typos, which I’ll PM you about, and I‘d like to have seen some clues for missions 2 and 3 as you did for mission 1. Junkyard Dog could especially do with a clue clarifying his reason for kidnapping Rex, for those who might miss the NPC text for some reason.

Suggestions: This is a bit radical, to be honest, so I’ll say first that as it stands the arc is fine. My suggestion stems from the briefing that mentions the press conference for the Mayor and the Press etc. That made me think of the Atlas Park Fashion Show map. If you wanted to expand the arc to 4 missions, you could have Junkyard escaping and crashing the press conference on that map. You could have some rescue objectives, then; rescue the mayor, the journalists, Macready even? Just a thought.

BTW, K10 is the kind of character I wish I could have as a temp pet power. I loved his look

The Souvenir was also great, it made me go 'awww...' witha big cheesy grin.

4 stars, well done.

The Tubbius Trilogy Digitally Remastered.

I like the sound of it! Here's hoping you enjoy the retouches I've put on some of the missions; most of it's minor stuff here and there, but (if you're playing all five arcs now in the sequence) there are fairly considerable updates to the third and fourth arcs (Costume Contest and the prequel, City of Ho Ho Help), and there's the brand new wonderment of Waddle's Revenge. Enjoy, MCM, and I'll be awaiting your review of everything you're looking at!

Silver Aged, Arc ID 280017 by @Lazorman. Very Long (2 unique, 1 large, 1 medium map), Heroic, lvl 30-54. This is sold as a ‘campy, fast-paced, light-hearted, comic-themed’ arc, so I’m taking my lvl 35 fire/rad controller The Robot from Uranus in.



This arc had 104 plays, and 5 stars as I entered, which is pretty good. I have high hopes

“GREETINGS, HUMANS! I…AM THE ROBOT FROM…URANUS!!! I HAVE TRAVELED HERE TO YOUR BLUE-GREEN PLANET TO ASSIST YOU IN YOUR ENDEAVORS AGAINST THE FORCES OF DARKNESS. MY PLANET ORBITS AROUND THE SAME SUN AS YOURS, HUMANS, AND SO YOUR FOES ARE MY FOES! THE ENEMIES OF EARTH ARE THE ENEMIES OF URANUS!

“I CROSSED THE ENDLESS VOID BETWIXT OUR TWO ORBS BY MEANS OF MY STELLAR CONVEYOR DRIVE. THIS IS BUT ONE OF THE MANY WONDERS URANUS OFFERS. ANOTHER IS THE ABILITY TO SEE FUTURES YET UNFOLDED, PRESENTS STILL FORMING, PASTS THAT WERE NEVER BORN, TO LEARN FROM THEIR FAILED INCEPTIONS…PASTS SUCH AS THIS ONE, CONCERNING A STALWART HERO OF YOUR EARTH, AND HIS LOYAL SIDEKICK…REST YOUR CHINS ON YOUR FISTS, HUMANS, AND CONSIDER…WHAT IF THE ROBOT FROM URANUS HAD BEEN CAPTAIN SILVERSTREAK’S SIDEKICK, THE DYNAMITE KID???!!?!?!

“Spencer Silverman…an old man rocks on the porch of the Old Langsyne Retirement Home, just another forgotten gray member of society past…or is he? Sit down a while and pass the time with him, and you might come to know him as more than just a wrinkled old man in slippers and a blanket…you might know him as Captain Silverstreak, the founder of the Silver Age Supergroup The Justifiers! Listen, and let him tell the tale of how he and his sidekick The Dynamite Robot from Uranus saved the City from the Baron of Bizarre!

Mission 1: Save the City from the Baron of Bizarre!

“The sleepy little town of Sliepiton was being attacked by Baron Bizarre and his Bizarro Gang! The perfidious potentate had recently incarcerated Captain Silverstreak and I in his Puzzlebox of Doom…but that’s another story! We had of course escaped, and Captain Silverstreak had had gone on ahead to scout, while I., the Dynamite Kid, emerged a little after. Imagine my surprise when I found myself to be stuck in the body of a metal man from the planet of Uranus!



“It must have been some terrible after-effect of the Baron’s Puzzlebox! I hoped my mentor would still recognize his plucky sidekick underneath the fiery steel carapace that I now, hopefully temporarily, inhabited! I set out to find the Captain…

“The Bizarro gang were running amuck in the town, and as soon as they saw me they attacked! My new ultra-telluric form appeared to have dominium over the element of fire, I could summon flaming creatures from the very air. I did so; they set about the loony mobsters with alacrity! I also enveloped the zany gangsters in conflagrations of flaming doom as I moved through the town. Some ordinary citizens were in trouble; after helping them, I learn that the Baron had been confusing them with his malevolent Sound Waves. Using sound, that most friendly of sensory input, as a weapon! The devil!



“After I’d rescued a few citizens, I spotted the Captain in a fight with a few of the Bizzaro Gang! I rushed to his aid, and luckily, he recognized me! Together we fought off the Gang, and then confronted the Baron of Bizarre himself! He tried to confuse us with his abominable Sound Waves, but luckily, the Captain used his Captain Silverstreak Earplugs, and we were victorious! Hooray!



[lol wonderful mission]

[and after the debriefing…]

“The defeat of the Baron must have broken the Puzzlebox Bizzaro-morph or whatever had turned me into the Robot from Uranus! I could feel it wearing off, fading away, fuzzy-wuzzying into the future…for some reason…

“FROM THE PAST THAT NEVER WAS…TO THE PRESENT STILL FORMING…I MET THE HUMAN KNOWN AS CAPTAIN SILVERSTREAK IN A PLACE WHERE OLD HUMANS WAIT FOR THEIR END… THIS DAY, HE TOLD ME OF AN OLD ENEMY OF HIS, A LORD DARKNESS, LONG-SINCE DEFEATED BY THE GOOD CAPTAIN, INCARCERATED IN A SECURE FACILITY. LORD DARKNESS WAS DUE TO BE THAWED FROM HIS CRYOGENIC SLEEP AND TRANSFERRED TO THE METAHUMAN CORRECTIONAL FACILITY KNOWN AS THE ZIG. WITH SHOCKING COINCIDENCE, HOWEVER, BEFORE HE COULD TELL ME MORE, THE NEWS BROKE THAT LORD DARKNESS HAD ESCAPED, AND WAS ATTACKING A CREY FACILITY. ANOTHER SUPERHUMAN, GRIMDETH SPATTERBLUD, WAS EN ROUTE, TO KILL HIM. CAPTAIN SILVERSTREAK GAVE ME A SILVERTRACER, AND I ZOOMED TO THE SITE TO HELP.

Mission 2: Find Lord Darkness

“THE CREY BASE WAS IN A SERIOUS CONDITION…LORD DARKNESS HAD OBVIOUSLY STARTED WREAKING HIS REVENGE. I ACTIVATED MY INFERNO-FEET AND MY COMBUSTO-SHIELD, AND SALLIED FORTH!

“LORD DARKNESS HAD SWEPT THROUGH THE BASE LIKE A WIND. EVERYTHING WAS DESTROYED. A FEW SCATTERED CREY PATROLS TRIED TO STOP ME FROM INVESTIGATING, BUT THEY WERE NO MATCH FOR MY FIRE MINIONS!



“IN THE DEEPEST CHAMBER, I ENCOUNTERED GRIMDETH. HE WAS ABOUT TO IMPALE SOME CREY PERSONNEL. I MERELY CHOKED THEM INTO UNCONSCIOUSNESS INSTEAD. HE WAS NOT POLITE.



“HE LEFT. THERE WAS NO OTHER SIGN OF DARKNESS, BUT I DID DISCOVER WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR. THE PACIOFIER MACHINE…A MYSTERIOUS DEVICE CAPABLE OF DULLING THE SENSES OF HUMANS, AND POSSIBLY ABLE TO CONTROL THEIR MINDS AS WELL. WE HAD DEVELOPED THIS TECHNOLOGY CENTURIES EARLIER ON URANUS. HOWEVER, WE HAD BANNED IT AS IMPOLITE. I SCANNED THE REMAINING DEVICE, AND EXITED THE BASE…

[The exit popup tells me I put a tracer on Grimdeth as he ran off. maybe you could put this info in the green text for his actual encounter, as it jars a little to learn this after the mission.]

“FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS I WAITED FOR CAPTAIN SILVERSTREAK TO GIVE ME A NEW LEAD. HE WAS MONITORING GRIMDETH’S PROGRESS AS HE TRIED TO LOCATE LORD DARKNESS. ON DAY 4, SILVERSTREAK CALLED FOR ME. GRIMDETH WAS IN AN OFFICE BUILDING, IN TROUBLE!

Mission 3: Defeat Darkness

“THE OFFICE BUILDING SEEMED COMPLETELY DESERTED…BUT I HAD ENCOUNTERED SEEMINGLY EMPTY BUILDINGS BEFORE, ON URANUS…THEY OFTEN MEANT CERTAIN DEATH…I TROD CAREFULLY…

“WITHIN MINUTES I WAS PROVED RIGHT AS AN INDIVIDUAL I THOUGHT TO BE A HERO ATTACKED ME. AFTER BEATING HIM OFF, I WAS ASSAULTED BY A LONGBOW AGENT AND THEN A VANGUARD SOLDIER. SOMETHING WAS MESSING WITH THEIR MINDS.

“FURTHER INTO THE BUILDING, MORE ATTACKS FROM PREVIOUSLY FRIENDLY FOLK PROVED MY HYPOTHESIS, AND THEN I FOUND GRIMDETH, SHAKING LIKE A TINY HUMAN BABY CONFRONTED BY SATAN HIMSELF DEEP IN THE ABYSS OF HADES. HE HAD BEEN GOT AT WITH SOMETHING HE CALLED THE ‘ANGSTOFIER’. HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN WEARING A BONNET, HE WAS THAT USELESS.



“I FREED HIM FROM THE ZOMBIFIED POLICE AND FREAKS THAT WERE TOYING WITH HIM, AND THEN CONTINUED. I HAD TO DESTROY THAT MACHINE OR THE ENTIRE WORLD MIGHT BE DOOMED. AND IF EARTH IS DOOMED, URANUS IS DOOMED!

“I FOUND THE ANGSTOFIER, AND STARTED TO DISMANTLE IT AS IT ATTEMPTED TO ATTACK ME WITH MY OWN FEARS, INSECURITIES AND DOUBTS. LUCKILY, ON URANUS, WE BANNED FEAR, DOUBT AND UNCERTAINTY 78 EARTH YEARS AGO, AND SO I WAS SAFE. URANUS KNOWS NO FEAR. WITH THE DIABOLICAL MACHINE DESTROYED, PARAGON, THE WORLD AND THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WAS SAVED FROM CERTAIN DOOM…FOR NOW…

“BACK AT SILVERSTREAK’S RETIREMENT COMPLEX, HE INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD LOCATED THE WHEREABOUTS OF DARKNESS. IT WAS TIME TO FINALLY DEFEAT THE MADMAN!

[Silverstreak gives me his helmet, to protect me from Darkness’ Angst machine, but it just doesn’t fit with Robot at all…so I’ll just ignore that I guess lol]

Mission 4: Stop Robert von Darque’s Plan!

“SILVERSTREAK WAS IN CONTACT WITH ME THROUGH RADIO AS I ENTERED THE VILLAINS SECRET BASE. IN ORDER TO DEFEAT VON DARQUE, I NEEDED TO SHUT DOWN SOME POWER NODES, THEN DEFEAT HIS HENCHMEN, AND FINALLY HE’D SHOW HIS FACE.

[I really like the radio contact effect here]

“THE BASE WAS TEEMING WITH MIND-CONTROLLED HENCHMEN.

“I ALSO ENCOUNTERED GRIMDETH, UNDER THE EVIL SPELL OF THE DEVILISH MADMAN! HE ATTACKED ME. I WAS FORCED TO VIOLENTLY SUBDUE HIM

“DURING A STRUGGLE WITH A SQUAD OF DARKNESS’ FORCES, I WAS SUDDENLY ASSISTED BY A COMPADRE OF SILVERSTREAK! SYREN LASS, NOW SILVER-HAIRED BUT STILL GOLDEN-VOICED…



“WITH HER HELP, I ISOLATED THE POWER NODES TO THE VILLAINS SYSTEMS, AND THEN FOUGHT OFF AN AUTOMATED AMBUSH…

"DEEPER INSIDE, SYREN LASS AND I WERE SHOCKED TO BE ATTACKED BY AN INDIVIDUAL CALLED C4 WINTER…DURING THE FIGHT, HE REVEALED HIMSELF AS NONE OTHER THAN SILVERSTREAK’S OLD SIDEKICK, THE DYNAMITE KID! HE MUST HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED BY DARKNESS TOO!



[This is a reference to Bucky, yeah? The Winter thing?]

“WITH A HEAVY HEART, I RENDERED THE DYNAMITE KID INNEFECTUAL, AND WE CONTINUED INTO THE BASE. IN THE FINAL CHAMBER, WE FOUND THE MEGA-ANGSTIFIER…AND MANGLED ITS INNARDS UNTIL IT WAS ONLY CAPABLE OF SENDING OUT EXTREMELY SHORT-RANGE WAVES…THAT WOULD DO UNTIL WE’D DEFEATED LORD DARKNESS HIMSELF, WHO WAS GLOATING LIKE AN INSANE CACKLING MADMAN AT THE FAR END OF THE ROOM. WE RUSHED HIM, AND LAY ON! HE FOUGHT HARD, BUT TO NO AVAIL. WE PREVAILED. JUSTICE PREVAILED. URANUS PREVAILED.



“AS HE LAY, RECOVERING, SILVERSTREAK WARNED THAT HE WAS AN IMMORTAL BEING, AND THAT WE NEEDED TO FIND A WAY TO RESTRAIN HIM QUICKLY. WE DRAGGED HIM OVER TO HIS MEGA-ANGSTIFIER, AND AS HE TOUCHED IT HE LET OUT A GREAT SIGH OF APATHY. HE HAD BEEN HOIST BY HIS OWN PETARD, AS YOU HUMANS SAY. HE WOULD TROUBLE THE FORCES OF GOOD NO MORE.



“IN GRATITUDE FOR HELPING, CAPTAIN SILVERSTREAK MADE ME AN HONORARY LIFELING MEMBER OF THE JUSTIFIERS. AN HONOUR INDEED, FOR ME, AND FOR URANUS!

[end]
Overall, this was fun to play, no question.

My favorite missions were the first and the last. However, the first mission being a reminiscence led me to believe (as you can see from the direction that Robot’s narrative took) that the whole arc would be set like this. I was quite looking forward to that, after the first mission. But of course the rest of the arc isn’t set in the past. I’m not sure the ‘actually, now that I think of it, you don’t remind me of the Dynamite Kida after all’ thing works, I’m afraid.

The last mission was excellent, I loved that there was a nice mix of objectives, Syren Lass was a lovely surprise, it was all good.

The missions in between the first and last were enjoyable enough, but Mission 3 especially could do with some pzazz to make it memorable.

If I’m brutally honest, the title (love the title) and the quality of the first mission led me to expect something greater than what I actually met in the rest of the arc. However, the last mission is golden, really, and during the whole arc, I pretty much cleared all in every mission because I was having fun, and at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about.

I rated it 4-stars.

I would like you to run through Mutually Assured Destruction, in my sig. My girlfriend is a great writer, but she also believes everything should be a challenge. Take your strongest character. And insps. The story, IMO, is worth it though

I'd be super happy if you could do that

Incidentally, after I've done the Tubbius Trilogy, I'll be running arcs by such Forum Celebs as Eva Destruction, Venture, and Airhead!

Watch this space!

I think 30+ but I recommend your strongest character (assuming you switch characters for this).

Curious, how does your queue look like atm?

Atm i've just started the Tubbius Trilogy (5 arcs) and after that I'll be doing 5 or 6 arcs I picked myself. I'm not really taking any formal submissions (lol listen to me with me 'formal'!) right now, though feel free to suggest sth if upu like. Timewise, I doubt i'll be able to start anything nrw for a good few weeks, possibly even a month.

Sky King's Ransom has been in my sights for a while, as it happens. i really like the page for it with the cool poster etc.

Hee. Glad you liked

Just want to say I'm being a bit lax for a reason - I'm doing 5 arcs in a row and i'll post the reviews all at the same time. So cheers for patience etc.

MrCaptainMan,

Though it wasn't the perfect scenario for you, I want to thank you for taking the time to run through and review Silver Aged! I really appreciate all your comments and feedback!

/fancybow

May I recommend Glor...
