Rafael Wrote:Temple of the Frog: Cthulhu, or frogmen from 1930s vintage fantasy books? (I think Edgar Rice Burroughs did them already.)I can't recall ERB using frog creatures, but certainly Robert E Howard filled his horror with "toad like creatures" and things like that. Lovecraft probably did as well.
My understanding is that much of the "Temple of the Frog" inspiration came from a frog-shaped planter or some sort of prop that Dave used as a visual aid when he ran the game. (Kind of like using a bowl as a miniature for the gaming table.)
