Correct, that's a section from the MM. Go ahead and email those articles to me, if for no other reason than to save your magazines. Anything to help a fellow packrat.

Psi, we would not want to destroy such a valuable part of literary history. Now would we? So by all means, email a copy of the articles to me. Thanks!

Send me a copy too!

For your things to do with a dead slug list, did you put "feed it to a robot"? I'm serious!

I found it! Oddly, it was in the fourth one I pulled out. I thought I'd be searching all evening.

A color diagram of the anatomy is a big part of the article, so I'm going to wait until Monday and scan it at work.

The slugbot is cool! We missed that use on our list too!

Disagree.

The chief difference between fantasy and SF monsters is that the latter needs some kind of "scientific" justification of why they exist.

Otherwise, they're pretty much interchangable.

The bigger problem in SF RPGs is that the weapons tend to be deadlier, making it easier to dispatch the monsters.
