  • He Does It All

    Jason is one man machine. His podcast covers a lot of rpg subjects. He has many guests that have fun conversations. And Jason, I think he's worse than me buyoing gaming products and Kickstaters.

S2 Listener Calls and Spawn (1997) Bonus38
Q: How does he come back and what does his revenge look like?
He comes back with necro powers after being kept in darkness for five years. His revenge is almost entirely unsuccessful as he doesn't get to kill the one who ordered his death.

Q: Who gets killed and why?
Al Simmons, a CIA assassin, gets killed because Hell wants him to lead the armies of Hell against the gates of Heaven.
