An intriguing cover of Springsteen' "I'm on fire" live in studio. Strong choices were made, and were successful. Lovely drops.

Refurbished another writeup for those beloved (not really) Junior Super Criminals from DC #Comics' #Superfriends series.

This time it's Chick, the Penguin's justly forgotten sidekick.

Pics, #TTRPG stats, trick umbrellas, and that's about it honestly. Nobody wants to know about him, after all.

Let's start rolling out the refurbishment for the Mighty Morphin' #PowerRangers of yesteryear.

First up is Jason, the original Red Ranger. With the sword and the tyrannosaurus robot.

Photos, #TTRPG stats, biography, powers, skills, weapons, etc. - our morphin' usual.

There's been a fair few additions to our article about archery in #TTRPG and other fiction.

So I've added a table of content, signaled the new material therein, and bumped it up onto the homepage.

It has a lot of stuff about bows and arrows in stories (and DCH modelisation bits).

DC Heroes RPG - Bows and archery - Primer, stats, rules, gadgets

Extensive article covering bows and archery in action-oriented stories and explaining many of the things. Plus DC Heroes RPG rules.

(I'm refurbishing these guys now since I'm also chain-refurbishing the Might Morphin' Power Rangers. But do not want the homepage to be all Power Rangers, all the time).

(So thing of these guys as short musical interludes, or something).

Refurbished our mini-character-profile for Sardine (who doesn't belong to a sex club), from DC #Comics' Super-Friends 1970s series.

An #Aquaman foe. Sort of. Kinda. He did not make a splash.

Mostly this entry is #TTRPG stats, since there ain't much to say.

Refurbished our team profile for the 1990s Mighty Morphin' #PowerRangers.

These were hugely popular for a genre show, and the first exposure of many Americans to sentai stories. So having this profile is nice.

Photos, #TTRPG stats, robots, robot made of robots, roster, history, etc. - our usual.

I note that you left Sardine out when it comes to the sex club vibe.

Refurbished the mini-entry for DC #Comics Kitten. She briefly appeared as the Cheetah's sidekick in those 1970s Super-Friends comics emulating the TV cartoon.

Not much to say beyond some stock #TTRPG stats. But maybe somebody will want to do something with these goofy non-entities.

Refurbished, and added #MutantsAndMasterminds #TTRPG stats to, Kilgore of the MERCs. From the #Wildstorm universe, back then with Image #Comics

He's Temu Wolverine, with poison claws. Not too inspiring, but if you need a somewhat tough mook for a battle scene, he's there.

So here's what's to know.

Added a profile for Sheriff Peterkin, as played by Adina Porter in Netflix coastal teen drama #OuterBanks.

No, I wasn't expecting that one either.

Photos, #TTRPG stats, biography, skills, quotes, characterisation, etc. - our outer usual.

I wanted to relax by flying serenely around nice countryside and harvest wood. But the World of Warcraft patch/maintenance duration keeps being extended.

And with The #Shadow's entry refurbished, I've overhauled the corresponding Margo Lane entry.

It's a more modern and active take on the character than the 1930s one. Unsurprisingly.

Pictures, #TTRPG stats, biography, skills, characterisation, quotes, etc. - our friendly and companionly usual.

Specifically the #comics by Matt Wagner, Wilfredo Torres et al for @dynamitecomicshq.bsky.social. Which was a robust introduction to this fascinating character and how he operates

Second and last profile about the 1977 #movie The Last Dinosaur with, well, the dinosaur.

So it was a Japanese gentleman in a rubber suit, sure. But miming a tyrannosaurus can't be easy, I suspect.

Photos, #TTRPG stats, and few more bits. But there isn't a tonne of stuff to say. It's a dinosaur.

Dusted off and bumped off the FAQ for contributors revising their profile.

Very niche, but it's one of the older FAQ articles that needed a change date for logistical reasons. So I'm mentioning it in passim.

Added the second chapter to our character profile for Marvel #Comics' Speed Demon (James Sanders).

This one covers his "classic" era (1979-2005), chiefly as a minor #SpiderMan foe.

Refurbished our character profile for the #Netflix version of #Daredevil (Matt Murdock), as he appeared during his first season.

An interesting "year one" take, which seems to have been well-received. And had a charismatic actor in Charlie Cox.

Refurbished our character profile for Dr. June Covington, a Marvel #Comics genius with a genetic cutting-and-pasting tech to empower herself.

Also, cruel and sociopathic eugenist. In the real world, she'd be leading the current US healthcare apparat.

Refurbished our notes for the Doktor Sleepless #Comics' titular character (and Nurse Igor).

Took these in 2007 or 2008 since the series seemed cool. Then it died alone, in the rain.
