Because I'm the boss
Apr. 18th, 2007 07:51 amOk, so the set-up is that I've somehow managed to replace both Didio and Quesada with robot duplicates. Meaning I'm EIC of both the Big Two. Which means I get to give jobs to some of my friends. But not all of you. Because I'm just mean. Hah! I will be a petty and whimsical tyrant!
Anyway who does what.
At Marvel:
Alexlucard gets to write Hawkeye because he'll use his vampire powers on me otherwise...
![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
indigoskynet can have Storm just for the look of glee on her face...
spoonyone will have the enjoyable job of redeeming Iron Man because it amuses me to give him a hard job...
shaenon will be writing A.I.M. Research Unit 414-B because I loved the A.I.M. office party, even if it does kind of type cast her as the MadScience writer...
the_outlaw will be writing Pulps, stories set in the 1930s Marvel 'verse...
takhsis gets Starjammers and the joy of pirates. In space...
Andkidzero can write Rick Jones: Rock Star about Rick somehow becoming platinum selling rocker...
And over at DC:
createdv8tion gets to write Paroled about ex-super villian the Red Dart, trying to stay straight. Which, is I will admit, just Hench set in the DC 'verse...
dead_kid_fred/nedslade will be doing Dead Man and using it to bring DC's horror books back into the fold...
frustratedpilot gets Blackhawk Missions mostly because there really isn't a lot more to do with Enemy Ace stories...
kalinara and morchades will be co-writing both Green Lantern Corps and Green Lantern. Even if that means that 50% of the art will be GL butt shots...
looking2dastars gets to work with the mess that is Green Arrow...
dunkleza will be on the Wild Dog relaunch. Because Lib + Gun Toting Vigilante = Duh...
demiurgent will be on Future Tales a companion title to mightygodking's LSH...

Done. Over. Finished. A near total waste of time. The game started late (again) and then proceded to go NOWHERE while spoonyone and I desperately tried to avoid the Plot Railroad. Other work in the area? Do you want to do random prospecting? Er no? Then nope. A late stage coach? Lets check on that! Ok, so it looks like the Harrowed Rangers (or at least one of them) killed and burned everyone on board (including another Ranger and his wife and kids). Of course the local Rangers for AZ don't believe their men have gone rogue and don't even want to hear anything about the undead. Ok, FINE. We'll go do the fucking Happy Hunting Grounds/Close the Hellmouth thing. Right we'll take our NPC Navajo shaman into APACHE country to find their sacred bird and get some white eagle feathers...
Except FIRST of course the fucking Uber-Huckster Lost Dutchman NPC has to show up to fuck with us some more. NO. No fucking more. Me andspoonyone, fed up throw down on the bastard. And Kelley (rolling pretty much 5-8 dice for EVERY skill) can't seem to get below a fucking 17. And when Noah's preacher DOES manage to get a headshot through, he just drama chips away the damage to nothing. WE BOTH END UP FUCKING DIRE CHARMED. And then not ONE FUCKING THING we do even fazes the NPC. So we both call it quits and have our characters ride out of town. Fuck the plot. Fuck the adventure. FUCK THE GAME...
I do not need to deal with afternoon traffic so I can come to a game that will be the players standing on the sidelines watching two groups of Uber-NPCs go at it. THREE AND A HALF HOURS and NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED. (Ok, Matt and the NPC shaman laid the ghosts of the dead Indian children to rest. So good for him). I don't need this more frustration from the thing THAT SHOULD BE HELPING ME BLOW OFF STRESS. Gah!
