Havard:
I got hooked on the Hellboy and B.P.R.D comics after seeing the Hellboy movie a few years back. They don't appear in the movie, but frogs and frog-like monsters play a big role in the comics.
In the B.P.R.D collection called The Black Flame, the Frogs were able to summon a Cthulhu-ish. deity.
They are really scary, but more "monsters" than how I have pictured the Froglin till now. Still, they have a language, and their own Lovecraftian religion.
I'm getting alot of inspiration for my Blackmoor campaign here!
Does anyone know what I am talking about?

EE:
I've seen some of the HB's you speak of. They are a great inspiration, especially when HB investigates the castle. Good stuff.
Off Topic. Havard - I read somewhere that the writers of the Temple, snuck you into the adventure. Is that true?
More off topic. Has any one played Temple at one of the cons? Spill the beans, people!

You can play it yourself if you make it to The Summoning. Check the We're playing Blackmoor forum for details.

If I were thinking in game terms, I'd say they could be Froglins with some sort of template applied -- if we could go outside the SRD, my first instinct would be the "pseudonatural" template, but within the MMRPG rules, it's difficult to say... Perhaps a fiendish, or half-fiend Froglin, or make them Thralls of Coot? Laughing
OT, I love the Hellboy mythos (could be 'cause I grew up reading Lovecraft and company), but I wish Mignola would go back to doing the BPRD artwork -- I'm not a fan of Guy Davis's art-style at all...

Froglin Thralls of Coot, now I like that!
Personally, I have been tinkering with making my Froglin sort of like the Lovecraftian Deep Ones. That means there could be human-looking Half-Froglin who would eventually turn into True Froglin....

Yeah, I miss Mignolas stuff. And I miss HellBoy himself! I heard there was going to be another movie though, so maybe.... Smile

Took me a while but I found the thread. Knew it was in there someplace.

I'm only assuming that it is the same Temple. Dunno.

Everyone who posts here is important! Smile
I have no idea if this Temple version has anything to do with the one run at the Con. It would be really fun if everyone who is active at this forum could get a sneak appearance in some ZGG product other other Smile
