Yes, that is indeed the intention!
And as you can read below, lirvilas agrees with me!
Now we only need to know what Jay042 has to say about this matter...
The setting of The Adventurers Club has been a regular feature in my comic for a while. I always intended Nick DeForrest to be the club owner and host, though I have yet to bring him into the story properly.
BTW, I noticed a bit too late that when compared to the front door, those jack-o'-lantern must be enormous!
(Let's just say that they are... Burandan mega-pumpkins?)
Nick DeForrest's so far non-appearance in your comic proper is in part also the reason why there is the framing story of him talking to Gwenna. (The other part being of course that it gave me the opportunity to draw Gwenna!) Only Nick would have straddled the rule about there having to be at least one character from either comic. (And even if he had a one panel cameo that I overlooked, most people would wonder who the heck that is, while Gwenna is well-known by everyone.)
