    His Favorite Target

     

    Breathing in, Archer drew on the suitcase far below. A shadow of a smile played his lips as he listened to its owner attempt to assert his authority. Would he ever learn? Breath and arrow flew in unison, the target exploding in a fiery cloud of burning bills. Hopefully not.

  2. 50 Word Superhero Stories!

    All you have to do is write a superhero story that is fifty words long. No more. No less.

     

    The title, which should not be long, is not included in the fifty words but any title longer than a few words wouldn't be in the spirit of a fifty word story.

     

    Have at it! :)

  9. Anyone get DC: TAS yet?

    Re: Anyone get DC: TAS yet?

     

    I am not surprised to hear that the interior art in DC:TAS is disappointing. Steve Long has repeatedly made it clear that interior art is not a priority for their products... fine, I say. What I do not understand though is for every time he makes that clear, the other side (the customers and reviewers) chime in and say that a certain quality level of interior art matters to them. Who does Steve Long produce these books for if not for the people who purchase them? The saying goes that the customer is right, and while there is no need to do a 180 degree turn and suddenly go state of the art with their art, perhaps putting forth the additional effort to reduce the recycling of old art and to get creative with who they go to for the new art might satisfy the customer base, a wise decision. Heck, there are some pretty excellent artists here on the forums that would probably jump at the chance to get exposure for their work. Perhaps there needs to be a Art Director for Hero Games (perhaps there is one, I never really have looked to see).

     

    As to what I hear about layout and proofreading problems... sounds like when Steve Long ramped up the number of books on the schedual, perhaps he ramped it up a bit too much. Reconsidering the pace he has set for the company might be a good idea, quality is more important than quality if Hero Games is going to maintain a decent reputation.

     

    But these are the thoughts of just a single customer, I do not expect that anything I am saying will make an impression.

    Sometimes it seems to me that these forums have gotten so that it is impossible to go more than a week anymore without a mean old 5 page thread-o-venom. Some of you just need to relax... eat a popsicle... turn on the AC... step back, watch some cartoons and unwind.

     

    It's like when you have just been spending TOO MUCH TIME around a certain person to the point that all you want to do is chop thier head off. Please don't do that, we need all the heads in their assigned places around here.

    Heck... it is such a good idea, expand it into it's own line like Dark Champions and Fantasy Hero...

     

    HOLY HERO!

     

    ahem... :doi: Nevermind me, it is late. :)

    Hm. Does she wear fishnets? :D

     

    Sonic powers, martial arts...

     

    No, not quite... although she was originally written for a Young Justice campaign. I imagine her more as a Robinesque character, clad in combat armor, rather then dancing around in a one piece swimsuit and fishnets. :)
