The Super (man) Solution
I’ve never had a reliable superintendent. For every apartment I’ve lived in there has been at least one person telling me that whatever’s wrong with the place is my fault, and therefore I should solve the problems on my own. This of course leads to me creating a problem which is actually my fault, and usually involves fire or broken walls. Case in point:
- I’ve left a hole in at least one wall of every dorm room I’ve lived in, due to my penchant for leaning back in my chair. Also because I have rage issues.
- There’s a quaint little three-bedroom apartment outside of Tokyo that is purportedly haunted, a rumor I started after forgetting to air out my futon and leaving a large black spot on the floor. Who knew that sweat would be conducive to mold buildup?
- You can’t flush the toilet in my old Korean apartment. Ever. Don’t ask for details.
That’s why I find it kind of sad that the boys abuse their super the way they do. Or maybe it’s sad because the super won’t build them a treehouse or box fort. I guess it’s a little of both.

Not that this is the format to announce this, but whenever the PHB3 is released, possibly in the next year, that contains the Ki Power Source, we will officially embark on the return quest of Jurei, Ronto, Stumpy, etc etc etc. We’ll discuss details once we know the release date (I’m guessing about 9 months to a year from now).
Also great art work this week.

I’ve lived in most of your dorm rooms, and I don’t remember all the holes in the walls. The broken windows, television demonic possessions, and the occasional sword in the wall, yes. But not the holes. Also, I leaned back in your chair a lot, too, usually while playing faxanadu on your computer. So I could take half the blame on that one.

Welp, you guys read it. It’s all Adam’s fault.
Dang, I totally forgot about the broken window. Man, those were the days.

Ooh, do you remember my hobbit hole behind the gay bar? Did I ever tell you about the mushrooms that grew from the grout, or when I thought that the broken water heater above me was blood dripping through the ceiling?

Yeah, it was a broken water heater………

The super instantly reminded me of Jan. I can’t help wondering if you had him in mind when designing the character, though I could be utterly out of my little mind.

I mean it tasted metallic, so it could have been either.
March 15th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
nope, not Jan, he’s fully based on KA Ronto

Wow… spot on Ronto there… and I don’t mean the looks. And Ben, if you wouldn’t mind… I would love to join that party… I need more D&D in my life.
Good work Kevin and Chris… keep it up! This gives me something to do while I’m at work and a line of screaming customers behind me all want their computers back. What would I do without you?
