One observation makes me wonder: I've never played an online *band before, so I might err here: since this system resembles a MMOband, shouldn't the screen alerts mention who the message references? "Leon misses the Giant yellow centipede. Lucky hits the floating eye..." and the like? And a second question: How does Mythband handle level transitions? Does it generate a new 'level' for each party? Does it follow Nethack's path, with 'static' levels? Or does the game regenerate levels only after everyone has left them? Good art.

This would make this great page even better :) I think he should explain why it was a bad idea after saying “Nice hit.” This would make this great page even better :)

Not bad for someone who has recently died so many times in town! Although, wasn't meleeing floating eyes a bad idea? Or I am just thinking of Nethack?

I like it a LOT. I think that the interaction between Leon and Lucky the half-troll is just too hilarious. Great job on artwork and stuff here too, particularly the monsters. *two thumbs up* FAVORITE!
