This review originally appeared in the February 2010 issue of Bazooka Magazine. You can read my interview with series director Letia Clouston at The Death Cookie.
When Bella asked me to watch and review a web series, I’m not really sure what I was expecting, but those expectations were definitely a lot lower than what I got. When I first clicked the link, the still of a shirtless guy covered in blood with dark lighting didn’t exactly thrill me. I was kind of worried that I’d signed on to review one of those awful attempts at dark existential horror that never quite work out. I put it off for a good week until the deadline was to close to procrastinate any longer.

I'm going to take a break from the general archetypes for a while and focus on archetypes for Fratboys Vs., a game we've had on the back burner for quite a while. If you've been to a convention where Hex has run games in the past six or seven years, you've probably played in or at least heard about Fratboys Vs., because it's always successful and we run it a lot. The basic idea is this: You're fratboys. Something (zombies, aliens, robots, ninjas, dinosaurs--anything, really) attacks you. You fight it. Seems simple, maybe even dumb, but it always works. We've been meaning to publish Fratboys for a while now, but we've kept pushing it back to work on other stuff. Although we haven't added Fratboys to the schedule, I've decided to get back to work on in as soon as I finish up my two currently scheduled projects, Waxman's Warriors (coming out in just a few weeks) and Orgone Nation (which will be released in a few months). The time has come and, just as importantly, once Fratboys Vs. is finished, we get to start working on Roller Girls Vs.

As the name implies, the crusader is out to further some cause that he believes in--ending crime, converting the infidels, saving the environment, killing a huge fucking shark, whatever. The crusader rarely acts out of pure altruism; he has personal reasons for doing what he does and is not necessarily interested in doing good if it doesn't further his own goals.

The first thing I thought upon hearing about Heath Ledger's death was "Oh crap. Not again." Being a Terry Gilliam fan, I had already heard about Ledger (and more importantly, Tom Waits) being cast in Gilliam's latest project, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. And although I think Lost In La Mancha is one of the most amazing documentaries ever made, I really wasn't ready for another Gilliam film to go belly-up. Thankfully Gilliam and co-writer Charles McKeown came up with a way to simultaneously keep Ledger in the film (and thus satisfy the movie's financial backers) and recast his role.

Often known as the ladies' man (or, in the case of female characters, femme fatale or vixen), the rake uses his charm, good looks, and sexuality to get what he wants, especially from members of the opposite sex. Some rakes trade sexual services for favors, gifts, or information outright. The most competent, however, can get what they want with the merest suggestion of a possible liaison.
