The reason I don't buy the DM anymore is because of clues like these.
Not a nice challenge and poor beyond belief to what I thought used to be a very clever enjoyable Xword.
I have no idea if the setter has changed or not.
But I have swapped my tabloid until I see what I think are decent and challenging (not obscure) clues again.
Without the aid of a PC.
Is there any regular DM challengers out there that does'nt use a PC or some other form of Xword help to complete the grid ?
I truely would be surprised if there is.
Hence, where is the challenge ? Surely the challenge only lays with how to use a PC.
I want to use my mind.
Azed, Mephisto and the like are for those who like an indepth challege.
Bring back the old DM.
