Fiend Folio Friday
The Fiend Folio had some interesting constructs, too. The scarecrow was of minor interest, but my particular loves from the book were the mid-level danger of Caryatid Columns or the sword and sorcery feel of the Necrophidius and (my personal favorite) the Iron Cobra seemed like perfect elements to throw in as guardians in tombs or servants of evil sorcerers.

Yes, fun stuff. I used most of them a lot back when I was running dungeon crawls in the day, especially the Caratyd Columns. Agreed on the scarecrows, it was just hard to work them in.
ReplyDeleteI scored a Fiend Folio of eBay this very week and am looking forward to incorporating them in my latest game, the columns look a cool idea.
ReplyDeleteBought Savage Swords of Athanor, lovin' it, well done !
This is off topic, but I was thinking about your adventure idea, and maybe what you could further develop/detail several hexes of the map and also write an adventure path that uses these hexes.
ReplyDeleteSort of a schizophrenic adventure package?
BTW Lester, an artist from the Planet Algol blog & booklet project is an athanor fan, would you like his email?
Yeah, but scarecrows are scary. So very scary.
ReplyDeleteI like your writing style. Nice blog.
