Oh, that was a player!! I was wondering what that strange, hairy-looking blob was in the front-middle of the first screenie. Apparently, Tufa's best side is not from above.

Tufa's mine.

Stone/Fire scranker, and as short as he could be, unless he decides that the situation warrants Granite 'panic mode'.

Rock Armour, Rooted and /em crouch is 'boulder mode'

I agree wholeheartedly. Plus, you have a chance of encountering different enemy compositions pening on how the arc is designed.

Hello everyone!

Unfortunately we were not able to run an arc yesterday, but fear not! I went to Guardian this afternoon and ran (wait for it ... wait for it...) Vernon von Grun's Extraordinary Extradimensional Excursions! (ID#: 115174 by Igor Blimey)

In this arc, we became the lackeys of an extraordinarily evil and inventive mad scientist, with a penchant for the dramatic! We traveled to dimensions where Rome never fell, and had amusing run ins with our host's dimensional counterparts, who were not quite like him!

This was a very amusing arc, with excellent dialogue, witty contacts, and very inventive costumes! Be sure to take a look!

In any given months group of arcs that were played does only one get Dc'd? Does it mean that the other arcs played that month aren't going to be DC'd ever? I know there has been speculation, but I'd really like for a Dev to answer this especially considering the current limit on arc slots.

Hello everyone!

Today I hopped on Freedom, and alongside some cheerful Freedomites, we ran "A Hero in Need... is a Friend Indeed!" (Arc #375018, by @Wrong Number!) In this arc, we assisted Statesman, who has mysteriously lost his powers (Bet you wouldn't want his enemies to find out about that! Or ... maybe you would?) and is relying on YOU to help him get them back! What could make Statesman lose his powers? Well, you'll just have to find out for yourself! What are you waiting for! The arc has everything, neat custom NPC's, well-chosen maps, and more!

Here was the team that went on the journey!

There's a post earlier... ahh, might as well look it up.

Thanks to everyone that took the time to play the arc. For anyone interested, I have a list of little hints from missions 1-3 that point to the bigger story that's going on. If you want a copy just PM me. Teasers: The first hint is given before you even talk to the contact the first time and one of the clues in mission four spells a secret message if you take the first letter of each line and put it together.

I think it's awesome that they ran on the French server. I'm sure there's a lot of great content over there and it's nice they're not forgotten.

Hello everyone!

Unfortunately, I was unable to run an arc on Thursday last week, but to make up for it, I'm running two arcs this week! Tuesday's arc was "The Invasion of the Bikini-Clad Samurai Vampiresses from Outer Space!" (Arc #61013 by @Aliana Blue). In this arc, you help a film director stage his film, and fend off an attack by extraterrestrials! Or is it really a film? You'll have to play to find out!

Don't miss this arc, and make sure you read not only the contact dialogue in full, but also the descriptions of the custom npc's. Not only are they well written and funny, but there are also highly humorous commentaries by the actors and director! This is definitely one arc you won't want to miss!

Here's the team that came along for the fun!

I was lucky enough to get into this team (girl in the front row!) and found the arc a lot of fun. I'm not exactly familiar with the films it was spoofing, but found the arc funny anyway, which is always a sign of a good parody.

Customs were well made, and I appreciated that some normal enemies were mixed in too to make the spawns more varied.

Fun arc and a fun team! Thanks Freitag.

Hello everyone!

Sorry to post again so soon, but another run was done today on Virtue! Today, myself and 7 brave, Virtuous souls ran Made to Wave the Flag by @LaserJesus (Arc #: 384776), an arc that takes you into the heart of a Malta base, where you are being mentally conditioned by a doctor who is suppressing the powers of Heroes while turning them to Malta's side, under the guise of fighting for America! The storytelling turns psychological at times, and you'll go down memory lane, but I won't spoil too much! You should definitely check out this arc: make sure to read the extensive descriptions, all the dialogue, and the Clues, so that you don't miss anything!


Thank you to the Heroes and Villains who joined me on this adventure! Here they are:

Thanks for the run through! Pretty insane to be logged on today and have people tell me "Hey, there's a dev calling for people to run a @LaserJesus arc on Virtue." Fun little panic attack there!

Too bad they didn't run it on Justice. They could have had you on the team with them.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Nice, I was starting to get a little worried about these. But where's this month's Dev Choice arc? Talos Vice was last month's, and I'm sure you've played at least one other DC worty arc.

No need to apologize. Not only do we prefer hearing from you guys as opposed to silence, it's one of the best arcs in the system by far.

A French arc was selected for the Dev Choice this month but we definitely have a few more English arcs that are likely to get a Dev Choice at some point soon!

So, um, why not now? I get that you don't want to release them all at once in order to give each new DC a chance to be noticed, but let's face it, the majority of the playerbase isn't interested in a French arc. So we should have two this month. Or pick a German arc and make it three. Or four! More DCs!
