Introduction (Doc here... this page is now a historical page. AC has changed, and much of what is written here is no longer relevent. Enjoy as this page as a walk down memory lane.)

May 2005 update: a review of City of Heroes

June 2006 update: City of Heroes, new character lineup

Doc Feelgood here. I got my start much like everyone else: I materialized in Dereth and started wandering around trying to figure things out. What we have here is a collection of things I've learned. Some of these things I learned through personal experience (Ouch!), some by watching others, and some by adventuring with others.

Who is this for?

This page is designed for those who are interested in Dereth -- the Asheron's Call world. Some pages cover tactics my friends and I have devised, another covers good hunting spots, and there a couple sections on the "first tactic" -- designing your character.

There is the Doc Feelgood Campfire Tales section, these are interesting stories told about the world we live in, and the Doc Feelgood Photo Album, pictures of interesting things I've seen on Dereth. There are reports on interesting places the Doc Feelgood "clan" (the collection of characters) has visited.

And finally we have links to other Asheron sites. (And, yes, I'm the Doc who has made so many contributions to the AC Explorer and AC Spedia.)

Have fun,

Doc Feelgood
