Damn and Double Damn - I had a "Bulette" and an "Umber Hulk", toys I picked up from the forerunner of the 'Poundshop' way back when I ran early D&D campaigns. I can remember how chuffed I was to have them to include in my sessions, but never once gave a thought to their significance! I would have kept them for sure, and wish I still had them just for the nostalgia!
Sorry for digging up another old thread, but I just dropped on here looking for ideas to help my search for "budget monsters" for my games - Halloween is fast approaching, and for sure I'll be picking up bags of "Giant Spiders", "Giant Flies" and whatever else I can find, and I just couldn't resist a nostalgic stroll down D&D street (well, it's late and it's been a long weekend on the road gigging!)
I hope the thread will continue Mortis, cos I'd really like to read the rest that you hinted at
When men meet foes in fight, better is stout heart than sharp sword.
