Ever use Sleestaks in your campaign?

Marshall, Will, and Holly...

Hell yes I did! I even had PCs find an ancient psionic "control room" with a viewscreen and crystal control panel! It was full of old reptilian eggs. They never encountered live specimens.

Fantastic! Can you share with us the crunch?

Mmmm... sleestaks...
(click me for teh funny)

Mmmm... psionic lizardfolk.

There was an article with such on the Wizards website... let's see if I can find...

Thanks! I had forgotten about the Monet Cook gallery. The WoTC Quanak are a good start but not quite the Sleestak or Altrusians.

IMC, I have a "Savage Land/Land Time Forgot" area where primitive Humans are dominated by evil, intelligent Lizard Men, HEAVILY influenced by the Sleestak.

Yoink!

For the record, I think I used to watch this TV show when I was a kid. I was heavily into dinosaurs, so that had something to do with the appeal.

cheers,

I recall that the Knights of the Dinner Table did a funny article regarding how lame sleestaks are. I wish I could remember what issue that was in.

I haven't but I think it is a cool idea. Maybe have an NPC named Marshall Willandholly (I think that is actually from a movie, hrm I think Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) that is trying to clear up a Sleestak menace. Now that I think about it, I've always wanted to do a "lost world" adventure. Ideas, ideas.....

*thinks if people want psionic snake men/lizard folk, use Psion's link*

I'm seriously considering adding Altrusians/Sleestak to my Chult campaign. They made such a huge impression on my nightmares as a kid, and they would make a good substitute for some of the other standard evil humanoids. I'm going to stat them up for D&D Beyond!

I re-watched Land of the Lost a couple years ago, and realized it heavily influenced my style as a gamer. So, strangely, did some other childhood TV, particularly, oddly enough, Wild Wild West and The Avengers (no not the Marvel ones).

I did Actually briefly play a character based on an Altrusian, though I didn't remember the name, just the idea of a time-traveler who thought he was visiting his ancient ancestors, only to be horrified by the realization that they were, in actuality, his degenerate descendants....
