Jubilee Takes Out the Trash



Despite what the cover may tell you, no, it's not Deadpool. His appearance I attribute solely to a marketing gimmick to justify putting him on the cover. No, this is really an overdue follow-up to what happened in last year's FCBD issue, and sometimes it's nice to see anti-mutant assholes get what's coming to them...

I don't think any of my Old World players frequent DW

A book I'm thinking of having play an important role in the campaign is Heinrich and Moritz Tod's Morally Uplifting Tales for the Edification of Recalcitrant Children, the Tods being the Old World analog of the Brothers Grimm. Uplifting Tales is an important cultural artifact and also the sort of book you'd read to kids at bed time if you wanted them to cry themselves to sleep.
