Thrilling Adventure Hour gets the award for making me laugh the most this week. It was so absurdly hilarious it was impossible not to laugh out loud while reading it. Seriously, if you were facing imminent danger a la vampire threat, would you do everything to save your butt, or would you argue semantics with said vampire?
Well I’m sure you can guess which option our heroes went with. I won’t spoil it for you, other than to say that I greatly enjoyed the debate. They also revealed more about the bigger picture during the argument, so it made the whole thing worthwhile and funny.
I will say that the vampire system used is one of the more classical types; all the tropes and flaws one would expect. The application of some of these flaws was a bit more liberal, and some vampire aficionados may take offense to it. But it was all in light fun, so I didn’t mind it.
I wasn’t expecting that certain ghost character to stick around, but it looks like he may end up being one of our sources of information. As it stands I think he knows more than the lovebirds do…at least by all appearances. Those two are so calm all the time it’s actually quite impossible to tell how much they know about any given situation.
