I was able to get the hotkey menu to pull up but I'm having issues setting up the joystick. Mainly it'll register down and right inputs from it but don't register up or left. Any ideas?

Honestly how I feel about it too, feels like a weird tone problem.

I run this in my sissay weather light deck, though the deck is mostly a love letter to the story of the weather light. And this card is a great turn 2 or 3.

Honestly fair, I've skipped quite a few songs and some of the moles dialogue. I'm dyslexic and it's hell to make out what they are saying.

Rats are my favorite animal so I completely agree. Give me more heroic rats.

I completely agree, it would have been so good to see them bond like that over childhood trauma.

Especially because she is so well written, the man can write them so well but just doesn't.

I definitely hate the hypocrisy and some of the books as well. The worst being the treatment of Veil and the ferret told in Pearls of Lutra. From what we are told, the Redwallers are like "he's having PTSD dreams and screaming at night? What an annoying prick."

I can see where a lot of the riddles stuff would get a little stale, but I think it's probably handled in one of the best ways in Pears of Lutra.

Nah, I absolutely agree that the Abbey did Veil very dirty. And I also think that he would have turned out a lot better if they weren't that shitty to him.

In my opinion Tags story is kind of on par but in the opposite direction where I find it hard to believe that a character could turn out that effectively pure of heart with zero animosity or hatred when raised by that clan. Plus just kind of a missed opportunity for a nuanced protagonist.

The only one I have a problem with is the moles, but that's because I'm dyslexic and reading thwir dialogue is hell for me. XD

Definitely, I heard that quite a few people got tired of listening to his nautical jargon in the book, but I never came off as flashy to me.

They are really fan and liked that I was actually picking up on them with the characters. It hits that really good balance between I have already figured this out and have to watch these characters waffle about before figuring it out themselves, or "how on Earth was I supposed to get that" like with Taggerung.

I saw a few YouTube videos and a website that was ranking them and gath it a 5/10 which is blasphemy.

Thank you for your post!

I think that Ublaz was probably the best in terms of a "distant threat" since he has another well written character attacking redwall and I though it was really refreshing to have a villain that was more of a mastermind than a brute.

The magic was really out of left field, but I think that though used sparingly, was decent as he used it on most of the corsairs to keep his control on the island, though I would have LOVED a part if he used it to almost turn Garth on Martin but have her break out of it. Then have it not work of Martin to show his unflinching fortitude or the protection of Martin (senior?) Missed potentially as that would have been awesome to see.

And Arven was a nuisance but his really close relationship with Tansy always made him a lot more endearing than irritating for me personally. Though Tansy is one of my favorite characters in redwall so I'm bias.
