To be fair, making connections between He-Man and D&D ain't that far fetched. The original series bible for the He-Man toon reads like someone's notes for a D&D campaign - including basically random encounter lists for different areas:

"The MYSTIC MOUNTAINS make up the southern edge of the eastern continent. Wreathed in mystery, OGRES, WRAITHS and MANTICORES find haven in the granite peaks. The valleys of the Mystic Mountains with their deep, slippery sides hold giant reptiles and dragons prisoners. And it's fortunate, for they'd rampage the planet if not held within that stone fortress."

Next game I DM for you, I will DM justly drunk.

Then you will see how handily Masters of the Universe comparisons can come.

The only time I have been even mildly intoxicated while gaming was at RopeCon with Rafe and Sauna this summer. In my group we need all our senses sharp if we plan to surive the session! 8)

Just in case you wake up in the night, sweating and anxious because you don't have enough frog gods ready for your campaigns... :mrgreen:


BTW, Havard, I think that original references about turning any race in a frog-like being (or whatever: zombie, alien, super-hero, servant of the Master...) through the use of a virus that induces genetic mutations, is still an extremely modern concept right now and I'd re-value that 40-years old references to this (literary) theme :wink:

I think this image (of a froglin? - actually I think in Kyle Anderson mind it was a vampire, however...) fits here quite well... :wink:

Brah.

If the frogs at your place look like THIS, remind me to never ever visit your place. Like, EVER. :shock:

Actually, that's how I think the mutant frog-creatures may look in Blackmoor: with teeth, big mouth from ear to ear, bulbous eyes, frog-like tongue, oily, hairless skin, etc.
