If so, let me know. Honestly, this is probably the last jungle comic I can handle. Great art by Bob Powell, written by Gardner Fox … but the comic book jungles are thick with the danger of unkind stereotypes. As always, this one was found at the Comic Book Catacombs! That bit at the end is what a saving throw looks like — or maybe just a missed attack roll. Good indeed. Nice action shots as well — he could draw more than just a pretty face. Ah, spoke too soon.
Impressive display of super powers from the kid though invulnerability III, perhaps. First an explosion, then a crazy guy with a knife.
One question, though — is that guy rabid, or did he just go berserk while he was shaving. Wonderful stroke of luck, those two shriners with outrageous English accents showing up to help. Still, this does diffuse the stereotype problem a little. Here, Cave Girl makes a case for being a druid or my beastlord variation thereof — speak with animals , calm animals , etc. Nice action here — knee to the chin ranks right up there with face kicking.
And a real waaa-waaa-waaaaaaa moment at the end. The woman who brought Cave Girl into town looks like an oompa loompa at the end. Cave Girl almost made the cut into the Mystery Men! Here are some stats, though, for those who want to do a little knee-to-the-chin action themselves …. I delved into cartoons with She-Ra.
Now to go into another character that mixes Swords, Sorcery and Superheroes … Crystar. Crystar was born when somebody got the idea to use see-through plastic to make toys. In the Saga of Crystar his origin involved demon lords, magic crystals and such.
Ultimately, Crystar became a living, fighting gemstone with a sword. Powers: Fiery Aura 30 ft. It was on Me! TV this morning, and I was eating my breakfast, and … anyhow, when He-Man and all that jazz hit the scene, I was just about too old for it. I was never into fantasy stuff as a kid — I was a Star Wars and G. Joe man myself. About the only times I ever handled a He-Man figure was when I was playing with my cousins, who were younger.
As I was designing Mystery Men! Which brings me back to She-Ra. They were showing what I gathered to be the second episode, since it was the second part of a two-parter and appeared to be introducing the characters. A couple things came to mind. This got me thinking about some of the archetypes in fantasy games other than the fighter, magic-user and thief, and how they might be done in Mystery Men!
First and foremost, you have the cleric. The cleric could be a sorcerer who devotes more XP to his level thus getting more hit points and a higher attack bonus and less to his sorcery pool than your typical sorcerer, or he could be an adventurer who takes a few powers related to healing — maybe embedding them in a holy symbol to cut down on the cost. If you also embedded it in a holy symbol, you could cut the cost down to 2, XP.
Barbarians are just adventurers with the Rage power and maybe Catfall — just look at my previous post on Conan to get the idea. The bard is probably a sorcerer with a small sorcery pool and the Enthrall and Suggestion powers.
The druid is probably a sorcerer who maybe goes to the trouble of taking Polymorph self, one animal only as a power. It does look very good and my quick skim-through made me want to play it! Looks great, I'm very excited about giving it a try. And thanks for making the eBook free!!! Great artist, and your graphic design is always top-notch. Thanks for making the pdf free! Just started reading; Looking good Typo found: Pg 2, 2nd Para, 2nd Sentence: This might mean drawing.
Thanks everyone - it was lots of work, but fun. I hope folks will get some use out of it. Dr Drucker - thank you sir!
Excellent, well done! I did notice in the adventure that The Brute has the Clown's description. The version back on Lulu. The links included on this page presumably led to the first edition, but they've been pulled off of Lulu, so they lead nowhere.
I'll get those fixed. There's also a problem with the source file on 2nd edition that I need to fix. When I get a chance, I'll have it back up for sale as a print book. I'm about ready to ditch Lulu and see if the process is easier with DriveThru on doing print books. Search for:. Share this: Twitter Facebook.
