Some notes on MA Mictlan update

[llamabeast]

There is a group on Facebook which says that if the group gets 10000 members, the guy will call his son "Spider Pig" (using the power of Facebook to overrule his wife). It's on something like 9500 members now.

It sounds like the one where the guy uses facebook to call his kid 'danger'

South America provides all sorts of fun and interesting animals. Google is great for this.

One of my favorites is the terrible Ground Sloth, which regularly rends gringo tourists limb from limb with it's foot-long claws. It stands 12 feet tall and has an awful smell, and it's said it's lantern-like eyes can pierce your very soul...with black magic lazer beams. It can take the shape of a headless man in the light of a crescent moon, it knows whether Elvis is alive or dead, and it plays poker on every third Saturday with El Chupacabra and the Jersey Devil.

Well, ok, not exactly, but a few of the more...er...intense cryptozoologists seem to think ground sloths are a reality. Or atleast that's what they're likening the hazy descriptions of some kind of "skunk ape" to.

Might be fun to fit them into the game somewhere with one of the Mictlans.

South America is also rumored to have dinosaurs, vast snakes that live in waterfalls, various rainforest tribes who have never seen a white man before-and probably wouldn't care to, and the aforementioned El Chupacabra. There's really an immense amount of supernatural and paranormal material to draw from-enough to take any of the Mictlans in any direction desired, and with room left over for a whole 'nother set of nations.

There's even lost cities who's existence has actually been proven-as far as it goes-with satellite photography, but they're so far into the jungle that they've never been explored.

You have heard of vampire gourds, right?
I have read a more detailed source, but this is all I can find at the moment.

An entertaining webcomic that features them

Though most is subscription only... though not pricy...

I'm not sure where vampire gourds would fit in... they certainly wouldn't have any attack value to speak of, but it would be an entertaining addition to LA Ermor that provides chaff. I need to mod em in.

Even though they may hunger for blood, vampire pumpkins still don't have teeth. Beware bruised shins.

Mictlan with a level 0-2 blood summoning or assassination spell for a slave or two would be fun. As you probably know already, the word chupacabra translates into "goat sucker". Reason enough to add it, I say!

A size 1 assassin with perhaps a single misc slot to avoid thugging, rotten stats apart from a medium-high defense, useless for anything but taking out enemy priests. Not a demon (Or they'd die in the first round of combat against indy priests, their only targets.), but perhaps brought about due to "the taint of blood magic on the land" or something like that, which would also help explain why you can control them with blood. Might actually be handy to support your first demons, but probably just fun.

Sounds interesting. Nice writeup.

But if I can convince him to loosen the reins on Lord of Night (let more than just EA Mictlan have it) then they will get the #1 unbeatable choice for assassin in the whole game.

[BigDisAwesome]

I've always wondered why you were so into the Lord of the Night. I just now realized that he not only has flying, but stealth!? I regret not choosing him in the game I'm playing EA Mictlan. He's not as easy to get a huge bless on, but he more than makes up for it with his mobility.

Wouldn't that be:
"...slowly rends gringo tourists limb from limb..."

[HoneyBadger]

Well...well, that's even worse, now, isn't it? If you think about it?
