Is it just me or does this new Max look kind of...wimpier when compared to the old one?

Whenever I hear the name Arkham my brain instantly thinks of H. P. Lovecraft and eldritch monstrosities. Then I realize it's just Batman and I'm disappointed. Still, that looks very impressive. Well done!

"You can come if you want. I'd recommend against it if you're squeamish, though." "I think I'd be better off starting work on the armor," Roy replied. From what he understood from the plans, the arm connected directly to the users nerve endings which sounded painful so Roy'd rather not be...

Roy held his breath as the head engineer went through his plans. What if he'd screwed up somehow and they'd leave him in some small unnamed port or worse? He was a gunsmith damn it, not an engineer. "Color me impressed, kid. Not many people can cook up such a plausible design on their first...

Roy didn't remember much of anything about the end of the party, only that he had somehow managed to get back to the ship by the end of it. He spent most of the next day sleeping off the hangover and it wasn't until evening when he felt well enough to continue working again, staying up the whole...

Roy continued to drink after the Imp had left and entertained himself by trying to build a tiny catapult out of a coin, a paper clip, and a small spring. He noticed that the crowd of guests seemed more on edge. Or maybe he was just imagining it. While the seagull wine didn't seem to have all...

"Why not? What's the worst that could happen?" Roland answered when the lich asked if he wanted to risk being changed back into a human. "Don't...answer that," he added after a moment. Soon a clanking automation brought a glowing orb and Lucius gave it various orders after which green light...

As someone who reads almost only fantasy I don't have all that much to recommend. Two books that are pretty long and that I quite enjoyed (and that aren't fantasy) are Arc De Triomphe by Erich Maria Remarque and The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana by Umberto Eco.

"What's this about being able to change me back?" Roland asked, perking up. He didn't quite dare to start hoping yet. But still, even a temporary change back to being a human would be welcome. "I'm fine with playing support," he added, "Just tell me what I need to do. Or I could go and scout...

Roy listened, or pretended to, as George explained why he was a Imp. "Well good luck with that. One thing this world never seems to run out of are criminals," Roy said, grinning, "At least you'll never run out of a job, right?" So Roy how do you know there are pirates here? And why are...

Roland had flown onto a nearby lamp when John had challenged the demon. Mostly to stay out of the way but also to have a good view point. The rest of the meeting he remained there and mostly quiet the entire time until the meeting ended. And then out of nowhere tentacles appeared grabbing...

"Well I used to be a air marine for quite a while, and I was just reassigned to a ship laying in the docks here. I am quite happy about that, since I have always wanted to serve on a airship. "Oh, so you're an imp then?" Roy asked, grinning, "There seem to be quite a few of you here tonight...

"Basically I made something which made my gun shoot faster. The downside was that it was highly explosive, something which I only noticed when it was too late. Someone shot it, and it exploded in my hands." George explained and from his expression it was clear that the memory was still fresh on...

"No you see I am a bit of a gear head, and I learned not to mess with your gun the hard way," George told him while drinking his beer. It took Roy's drunken tired mind a moment to grasp the meaning of what George had just said. "Wait, you tinkered with a loaded gun?!" he blurted...

"Not really. You just looked bored, and I am bored as well. So I just figured I would try to strike up a conversation." the new arrival said and then turned to the barkeeper to order something, giving Roy enough time to figure out what had just been said. Damn but it was getting bothersome to...
