Very little is known about them, but what sources exist generally agree on the following:<br /><br />The first is known colloquially as a 'ponderer' and serves its race as a repository for long-term memories and a maker of long-range decisions. Ponderers are rumoured to have some sort of psionic ability.<br /><br />The second is known as a 'puddin' and is a nearly mindless drone worker. Puddins are massive, and massively strong, but generally slow and easily confused. <br /><br />The last is called a 'kewpie' and is an example of the warrior caste; it can make no long-range plans, but is frighteningly good at short term battle tactics, and is a vicious melee fighter.<br /><br />There is assumed to be a fourth 'caste', one that serves a reproductive function, but no sighting of one has ever been recorded.<br /><br />Flatheads are subterranean by nature, and fiercely territorial.

I think recently my games have been more aimed at unnerving players- trying to make them feel like they're in the Underworld and not Kansas any more. With all the darkness, the tight spaces, and S&W's high mortality, this has been easy to do.Telecanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238356788092725244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-60310880516804414762010-02-17T20:31:33.889-08:002010-02-17T20:31:33.889-08:00The second Chet Zar image makes me want to call it...The second Chet Zar image makes me want to call it "Jawful", but that's rather silly. How about the Malignant Backbiter?<br /><br />The third Chet Zar looks somehow like it's Lawful Neutral or Chaotic Neutral depending on the time of year, somehow.<br /><br />Oh, and your description of the unborn is creepy.Jaysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652611193354218021noreply@blogger.com
