Nekra

Comics Marvel Universe

Nekra is pretty cool and useful to have, actually. Long career, diverse abilities, good themes and varied hooks.

As of February of 2018, this profile was dusted up and split into two parts, since it was too long.

Nekra

Comics Marvel Universe

This is the second part of our big Nekra profile, which directly follows part #1. Yes, there’s a link to the first part.

The comic book version of Barb Wire as she was during the 1990s. She’s more interesting than you may think. Skilled bounty huntress with lots of grit, a Harley and some surprising gadgets and friends.

As of February of 2018, this profile has been split in two and slightly overhauled, since it was a tad too long.

Barb Wire

Comics Dark Horse Heroes Steel Harbor

Second part of our profile for this tough-as-nail bounty hunter, biker and bar owner.

Bundle of games I can’t play yet, which is frustrating

Humble has a particularly good bundle of InXile RPG and RPG-adjacent video games up. I can personally recommend all but one of them (because there’s one I haven’t played).

Check it out, unless you positively hate video games.

Yoko Tsuno

Comics Other Universes

A big article full of stuff about Yoko Tsuno, one of the old-school heroines of Franco-Belgian adventure graphic novels. A highly positive, omni-competent brainy engineer who’s had many adventures across the world, time, and space.

As of February of 2018, this article was split in two. It was a bit long to read in one sitting.

Yoko Tsuno

Comics Other Universes

This is the second part of our big Yoko Tsuno profile. With a link to part #1, of course.

Mardirossian, the Devil’s Executioner

Adventure/RPG games Video Games

The first part of an extensive sample character profile in the world of the Grim Dawn post-apocalyptic, steampunk action-adventure computer RPG.

This part is chiefly about the world – technology, types of magic, atmosphere, known history, the recent zombie apocalypse, etc.

Mace Blitzkrieg

Comics Dark Horse Heroes Steel Harbor

A super-strong, rather smart, rather dangerous superhuman gang leader in a down-on-its-luck city. Mace Blitzkrieg is primarily a Barb Wire character.

As of February of 2018, Mace has hairy-chested M&M stats.

Luke Cage

Other TV Shows Television

Heeeere comes the final third of our Luke Cage (Netflix version) profile. So what’s left for part 3 ? Well, the quotes section, the stats block, and plenty of discussion of his stats, and some more photos, and a bit of music.

Bundles – Angry Robot sci-fi novels, brawling games (incl. DC’s Injustice)

Humble Bundle offers of interest, with digital sci-fi novels from Angry Robot. And games where you can be Wonder Woman beating Lobo up, which I feel is a worthwhile and important endeavour.

Tyr

Comics Marvel Universe

Dinosaurian super-soldier seen in Gene Dogs during the 1990s.

As of February of 2018, this entry was overhauled and received cold-blooded M&M stats.

Weapons Locker – Melee weapons – Medium, common melee weapons

Technical RPG articles Weapons Locker articles

This continues the low-tech weapons locker article with the medium-weight, common types of melee weapons. Swords, axes, maces, this sort of things.

Amazingly useful to stat low-tech characters, it must be said.

Donations call and site situation report — Feb., 2018

The thrice-yearly report about the site’s condition.

Along with the thrice-yearly call for donations, so the site can continue to exist.

Hellfire Club

Comics Marvel Universe

Second part of our Hellfire Club profile, as it existed back during Claremont’s classic X-Men run. Free powdered wig (or skimpy leather knickers) with every order.

Mister Glass

More recent movies Movies

A capsule character profile for Elijah Priest aka “Mister Glass”, as played by Samuel Jackson in the Unbreakable movie in 2000.

As of February of 2018, this tiny entry nonetheless receive fragile M&M stats.

Warden Alamen Tabris

There’ll another pass during the Spring or Summer of 2018 to improve screenshots and for general polish.

Kestrel

Comics Marvel Universe

From the Gene Dogs comics during the brief, early 1990s Marvel UK implosion. Low-end superhuman paramilitary operative.

As of February of 2018, this profile was overhauled, and received crystalline M&M stats.

Panther

Comics Marvel Universe

Obscure member of the Gene Dogs, an obscure Marvel UK team. Commando with clawed bracers and low-key (perhaps even obscure) feline powers.

As of January of 2018, this profile was overhauled to align with our “base camp” profile for the Gene Dogs.

EDIT – and in February I remembered to add her M&M stats. D’oh.

Luke Cage

Other TV Shows Television

Part #2 out of 3 for the Netflix version of Luke Cage, as played by Mike Colter.

So that’s the rest of the History, plus the Description and Personality sections.

Miranda Lawson

Adventure/RPG games Mass Effect Video Games

An interesting (but poorly filmed) Mass Effect character. Peak human genetically engineered shadow agent and terrorist, with a lot of baggage.

As of February of 2018, this profile has been split into two parts due to length. And because it has a lot of images. I wonder why we have so many screenshots of Miranda, I truly do.

Miranda Lawson

Adventure/RPG games Mass Effect Video Games

This is the second half of Miranda Lawson’s profile, from Mass Effect 2. Elite, enhanced, multi-talented, multi-faceted space operative and officer.

Hellfire Club

First half of an extensive profile covering the Hellfire Club — bad rich people who clash with the X-Men — during the 1980s.

In-universe that’s when Shaw was Black King, out of universe that’s when Claremont was writing.

Alamen Tabris, the Hero of Ferelden

Adventure/RPG games Dragon Age Video Games

Our sample, fleshed out Hero of Ferelden – the Player Character in the Dragon Age: Origins video game.

As of January of 2018 this profile has been entirely rewritten, and restatted, as part of a refresh of our Dragon Age material. It’s also getting split in two so it’s shorter to read.

There’ll another pass during the Spring or Summer of 2018 to improve screenshots and for general polish.

Attack on Titan comics, Paradox video games bundles

Keenly selected stuff at very low prices from our Humble Bundle partners.

Attack on Titan e-comics, Paradox video games (incl. Stellaris and Pillars of eternity) and heh some travel guides as long as I was typing this.

She-Hulk

The earliest version of the She-Hulk in comics, covering her debut in 1979 and her early 1980s adventures. She’s big, mean, green and has amazingly resistant underwear.
