r45 put in Projects. Put in the latest artwork, did another layout pass. A few monster entry names weren't correctly styled/set, corrected those (could be more though).

Working through the FG2 file you sent me and I read the Octopeople entry. Whatever dark genius came up with these things, well, wow... they are creepy. However, I had to rewrite the descriptive text rather heavily, so if the original author would be willing to take a look (after I upload it, not yet) I'd appreciate it. The descriptive info was organized strangely, with their powers and the uses to which they put them much too mixed up; it's always best to keep mechanics clean and simple as much as you can and put the additional info in separate paragraphs. Also, I added a time limit for the paralysis and gave additional detail on how their skins are maintained.

Like I said, though... creepy. Don't mistake them for thulids...

Bodmir-The-Gnome hasn't posted since August 2020.
If he was around, he would probably have reacted to Zoltor's excellent drawing.

Btw, I wonder if the Octodad videogame provided any inspiration.

When I started the drawing for the Octopeople, I had to pull it back some on the creepiness. This was the first draft and usually I will do multiple drawings before I finalize anything. Trust me, I could have gotten carried away with it, but I had to remind myself that kids play BF, so you know.

With a name like Zoltor, it has to be good. And it is. In fact, it's great and reminds me strongly of art from 1st edition.

That looks familiar, is it an image we missed?
Looking through FG2, I just noticed the image for the timer-wolf is horribly pixelated.

If it's pixelated, we probably don't have the full-res version.
