Thanks for those Vy. I know they were for TGM, but I can't help myself when it comes to webcomics for some reason. It just kinda sucks that Ethos kinda dropped off at an interesting part of the story before the character development really took off.
Inverloch, otoh, was a really good story, and I wasn't really expecting what happened to happen. I couldn't shake, however, the feeling I had every time I looked at Acheron, Varden, Lei'ella, and Neirenn, and I kept seeing your classic D&D party (Cleric, Thief, Fighter, and Wizard respectively). Not to say that was the intension of the author, perhaps (or perhaps it was), or even that could be a direct comparison to what they actually were, but that's what this gamer saw, and I liked how it just kinda worked out that way.
Kinda obvious, but...
I even thought that Acheron would fill the Cleric role, even before I read up to the plot point that placed him in that role, so to speak.
All in all, good reads. I'll be checking out that Phoenix Requiem here later.

Reason: I also liked the idea of what the root cause of the whole story to Inverloch turned out to be. Sounds like it'd be a killer D&D campaign idea...
Recent research has led to the discovery of the heaviest element yet known
to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25
assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons,
giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are
surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since
Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected
because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
A minute amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally
take less than a second to take from four days to four years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of two to six years. It does not
decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the
assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact,
Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each
reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe
that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical
concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical
morass. When catalyzed with money, Governmmentium becomes Administratium,
an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has
half as many peons but twice as many morons.
You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be misqouted and then used against you.
I don't have a big ego, it just has a large mouth.
