Good evening, folks. So, I'm up to 7 of 8 arcs published, and I thought, "Well, maybe I should just break down and put 'em all into one post, now," so folks have all my stuff in one place if they're curious.

So here we go! One note: there are recurring characters and rivalries throughout the seven arcs, so it helps to play them in sequence, if you want to know the full extent of the Tubbius Experience!

Many of these arcs have been reviewed here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...=144170&page=7 . One of the arcs mentioned there has been deleted, and two haven't been reviewed as of this time, but MrCaptainMan does a great job of breaking them down.

If you want to post on THIS thread (as in my thread, the one you're reading now!) regarding your experiences, please feel free to do so!

1) City of Ho Ho Ho, or A Claus in Paragon (18775): This is the one that started it all. It's up to the heroes to rescue Tubbius Claus, a Paragon City official who appears to be Santa Claus himself, from the clutches of Manuel Pistola, a rogue Outcast leader with an axe to grind and a Troll under his thumb. 3 missions: levels 5-20. Outcasts and Trolls.

2) PENGUIN (29205): Originally an arc that was designed just to make use of a fun-looking character design, this has developed into a trilogy of its own right. Explore Crey Biotech's PENGUIN Project and its ramifications on arctic and Antarctic wildlife. Meet the mysterious Waddle, who is quite possibly the cutest character in all of the AE. Guest appearance by Tubbius Claus. 3 missions: levels 30-54. Crey and Winter Horde.

3) This Costume Contest Sponsored by Tubbius (101933): Tubbius Claus makes his second full arc appearance as he tries rescuing heroes so he can hold a costume contest. However, he can't bumble his way through the rescues without your help. More allies than you can shake a stick at, but how can you pass up Santa, a mutant kung fu chicken with boxing gloves, Waddle in a guest appearance, a professional wrestler, and MORE? Return appearances by Manuel Pistola and Graatak the Troll! Introduces Tubbius Regalis--Tubbius Claus's evil twin? clone? Praetorian counterpart? 4 missions: levels 1-54. Council and Winter Horde.

4) PENGUIN Part 2: Waddle's Revenge (302196): Waddle returns in a full assault against Crey Biotech! A researcher ends up a frostbitten corpse. Villain groups hunt the foremost survivor of the PENGUIN Project across town--but what is the penguin hero's motive? And what is FISHIE? Introduces Toxin, a 5th Column agent with an as yet undisclosed past. 4 missions. Levels 30-40 (first mission) and 30-54 (missions 2-4). 5th Column, Crey, and Security Guards.

5) Fox Hunt (334049): Tubbius Regalis returns and calls you up to stop the Family from attacking the bank where his holdings are held in Paragon City. When one villain goes hunting down another, heroes get involved, and one must follow the clues through a web of gangster intrigue. Introducing Zealot and The Fox; guest appearance by The Paragon Bomb. 4 missions. Levels 5-40. Family, Custom gang members, and Security Guards.

6) Hammer and Sickle of Paragon City (351727): Two former Soviet agents turned heroes, American Hammer and New York Sickle, have gone missing on what should have been a routine clearing of a 5th Column base. Find out what happened to them, learn how Toxin of the 5th Column ties into everything, and help your heroic contacts stop a plot by the 5th Column to unleash chemical warfare on the Council. Guest appearance by Manuel Pistola! 5 missions. Levels 30-54. 5th Column and Council. Contains an Elite Boss.

7) PENGUIN Part 3: Waddle to the Big Top (402239): Waddle serves as contact and ally in this mission, winning a ticket to a free circus show and stumbling into a Carnival plot to control the masses using. . . cotton candy? What does Waddle think about that? 3 missions. Levels 30-54. Carnival of Shadows.

That's it for now! Play away! All I ask is that if you rate, rate fairly and honestly.

Thanks for your time!

As of October 4, 2010, this arc has seen some considerable edits to tighten the story. One is that I've worked to trim down the number of villain groups mentioned (from 3 to 2, eliminating the Crey and editing Toxin's backstory to focus strictly on a Council attack gone wrong). The other is, by extension of the first, a better incorporation of the chemical weapons subplot.

Give it a shot!

In light of recent Copyright Filter issues in the MA, I've had to make some changes.

"This Costume Contest Sponsored by Tubbius" and "Fox Hunt" have been unpublished completely.

"City of Ho Ho Ho, or A Claus in Paragon" has been renamed to "City of Ho Ho Ho."

"Hammer and Sickle of Paragon City" has been renamed to "The Hammer and Sickle Cross."

"Hammer and Sickle of Paragon City" has regained its original title, now that the filter is working better.

Also, "PENGUIN" has seen a complete revamping all the way through. It's still 3 missions, but its first mission now includes Security Guards and a level 40 cap, like "PENGUIN Part 2: Waddle's Revenge" does.

Fox Hunt has been revised and republished as of last night. Its new arc ID is 516075. For those who've played it before, the story has been tightened up some with the removal of Zealot and the addition of The Paragon Bomb to an earlier mission; he's basically chasing the characters through the arc, now. Also, I got rid of the Fox and Jack Vega trying to run away and brightened up Jack Vega's hair some.

I logged in to see all my arcs 1-starred today. One of them's still showing 5-stars. The others are 4. Fox Hunt had to be unpublished because I'm not putting up with a 3-star rating as of rating #2.

Grrrrrr.

Its new arc ID is 516921.
