While I’m sad about the lack of wordplay now (it was one of the best things about the old MPC crosswords, especially the terrible puns), I did enjoy this as a breezy Monday level crossword, and the cryptic clue was entertaining if not very simple as far as cryptics go.

I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate
cryptic crosswords. Although that's not MPC's problem, and I don't fault them for using it, it's a valid puzzle device.

One of the questions was about this... In D&D, a Sorcerer can travel to other planes of existence. A Drow would be evil-aligned.

The Sorcerers get their ability through bloodlines.

How familiar are you with cryptic clues conventions? Short answer: not very. BUT, at literally 2 am in the morning my brain decided to wake me up and give me the answer. Because clearly I don't need my sleep. Also, cryptic clues are evil, and I think that was the highlight of my CNC experience this month.
