This looks not-terrible.  I remain cautiously optimistic.

There were a handful of nightmare fuel monsters, and more than a few “ok, seriously?” entries.  Also the Drow weren’t even the most interesting part of the AD&D module they came from.

I had no idea of its history, but now I can tell you it was what turned out to be ultimately a failed venture between TSR and TSR UK that consisted of monsters from submissions to White Dwarf magazine.  Which explains why a good proportion of them just flat out sucked.

Those early monsters were somehow so simple, but geez some of them freaked out pre-tween me. And of course now I’m LOOKING THEM ALL UP to see if I can thrum that nerve JUST A LITTLE MORE I’M LOOKING AT YOU TIRAPHEG

I’m creeped out by it because it’s bringing back memories of reading the D&D 1st edition Fiend Folio about the penanggalan, but I’m also really intrigued by what the mechanism is behind it.

But we all know the Greatest Gyllenhall is Maggie.  Jake even sings about it.

It’s not that far off.

It was worth watching just to count how many times Jake made this face.

It’s “Skeksis”.

I should soften that - word was that Brendon presented how he wanted to end the series and Lazzo didn’t approve, they couldn’t come to an agreement and AS wouldn’t give Brendon the rights to take Metalocalypse elsewhere, despite several appeals (did anyone else send guitar picks to AS HQ?). There were also several…

Brendon and Keneally have played with Flying Lotus before.  I hope for an epic live crossover jam that tears a rift in the space/time continuum.

I really really really really really really really really really really really reallyreally really really really really really really really really really really reallyreally really really really really really really really really really really really hope this is the end of Lazzo being a dick about this and just…

Girl’s gotta have standards.
