Invader: Little Green (Wo)men from Outer-space

My daughter’s Amazon died at the hands of a Rat-Leopard at level 1. As she is in the maze I gave her the option to be a class/race that isn’t normally available in my world or campaign setting – as the Maze has a lot of strange creatures in it. Her requirements amounted to “I […]

The “Oku” (Cynidiceans)

While reading the Maze of the Blue Minotaur I got a Lost City/Cynidiceans vibe from the Oku. Not sure if that was an inspiration but the Cynidiceans also wear animal masks, live in a dream-like state and believe they are the animals the mask portrays. The Oku are a bit more aware of their surroundings, […]
