Crimson Longinus's latest activity

I mean, it's just about the most implausible possible backstory given their lifecycle so I don't think that's worth considering lol.

Again, it doesn't matter. You're constantly Thermian explaining this. Like how you don't get it? Saying that people seeming people are...

Personally, I prefer my Illithids as alien terraformers. Their physiology is not natively suited to survival in the prime material...

Seems like an impossible dream…. imagine playing LoTR If a PC - say - Aragorn snaps and grabs The Ring, its not LotR But if its...
