I've always known I wasn't the only kid to do that, but this is I think the first time I've seen photos.<br /><br />The crab-men in particular is so vivid. Your younger self had good sense in not just going with brown for their shells.<br /><br />May I copy and post these to my monster books photo blog, http://infravisions.tumblr.com/?Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615194097431562045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-50735580149713128102014-05-10T10:40:55.606-04:002014-05-10T10:40:55.606-04:00Yup, loved the Fiend Folio.

I mean, Flumphs - those are amazingly weird. Like, "what were you smoking, and can I have some?" weird. Someday, I'm going to adapt them as aliens for an SF setting, I think (along with Grell, plus Ropers and Neo-Otyugh from MM and Neogi plus Umber Hulks from Spelljammer). If I use Starships & Spacemen 2E or Stars Without Number I won't even have to do much conversion, but I'm just as likely to work them up for GURPS Space. Perhaps they'd mix well with Traveller's Hivers, GURPS's Memer/Saret and Pachekki, Star Fleet Universe's Hydrans (and, if I'm feeling weird, Loriyill), and Lovecraft's Mi-go.<br /><br />What was I saying? Oh, yeah. The Fiend Folio is pretty cool.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-34519491365795073722014-05-09T16:52:16.141-04:002014-05-09T16:52:16.141-04:00A great book.
