	Very nice! The art looks great (again)! I might have to rename this one when we get to it, as one of our GMs already ran a storyarc with that title.

	Sort of; I can see the comparison, but not exactly... Definitely original approaches to the adventure...

	Here's the description the webpage now gives for it: Time runs amok as the world changes right before the heroes' eyes… but no one else seems to notice! Has the world turned upside down, or is there a rational, scientific explanation for all the strange twists? Only your heroes can set everything right in this new epic adventure COMING SOON for the Villains and Vigilantes™ Superhero Role-Playing Game.

How can a paper product be sweet? I suppose that a really nice tent in the desert could be considered a "luxury suite" of sorts, but I kind of doubt it. I don't think this word means what you think it does, mayo.

	Jezzus christ you people are insufferable. I chose to spell the word suite without making a fuss and two troglodytes have nothing better to do than to act like old farts. You're as bad as OCD Duroon. Get a life. Or some imagination. I'm outta here.

Apparently someone needs to have his meds increased and add a chill pill to the cocktail while they're at it Unless that doors already hit you in the ass lets assume you were having a bad day, we can all take a breath of fresh air and go down to the nickle and dime to buy a sense of humor, because obviously what's on the table isn't working. What ya say? Okay I admit it. I'm an old fart, but I'm not a troglodyte, thats my uncle's cousin once removed, we just smell alike

	Maybe you and Mayo need to go see the same "good humor' doctor pal. It's obvious you both could use an upgrade. He takes offense to a harmless remark on the spelling of suite/sweet and gets insulting. I try to chill him out with humor pointing out his over-reaction, and now some other faceless name wants to get all righteous. Maybe you can call Mayo on his "age-ist" comment while your at it, and maybe Troglodytes are offended at the comparison too. Did you think of that? I think I miss the days AlabasterKnight was having an out of body about Jeff Dee - okay not really - AK's been awesome past couple months and I'm happy to see he's found a way to make it work for him - two thumbs up to AK Alvin, you and Mayo could take a lesson (gee look no smilies - feel better about your bad bully internet self?) seriously

	And in a positive uplifting thread about a really cool adventure to come to boot!!!! And I'm tellin' ya, I'm almost done with the art - (kinda tryin' to figure out a way to bonus up the materials so it's beefier with goodies...)

Now here is an interesting question for us all, what really adds value to an already good adventure? I think any game publisher would love to have a question like that answered for them. Extra artwork, bonus vehicle or weapon stats? When it comes down to it, what really adds to an adventure that makes it a must buy? (this could probably be broken off into a completely different thread so as not to derail the original topic though)

	I'd buy a bad adventure if it had quality artwork comic style stories in it, on the otherhand I might not buy a good adventure if the artwork was only of mediocre quality (manners forbid an example but they're out there) Original maps are a sold bonus selling point. We can all down load a map of Times Square, but Diamantes is priceless. An original story that says "yeah I could see Marvel/DC writing something like that" is a selling point for me too.

	Well, lots of counters is always good. Still working this, couple details poppoed up day before yesterday, hammerin' it out... how about another teaser? This is the design of the chariot counter. I'm doing the horses separate, but making the counter so that you can overlap counters that are pulling or riding that way the chariot is its own item...

	SPOILER ALERT! I am happy to see that this adventure includes a villain with a mummy motif. Given all of the monsters in Terror by Night, and vampire, werewolf, and zombie-type opponents in various sourcebooks, I've long wanted V&V to have a mummy.

	When will a hard copy be released. Not paying for online comic, nor online V&V stuff.
