David C. Sutherland's iron golem illustration from the AD&D Monster Manual seems to owe more than just a little inspiration to Ray Harryhausen's Thalos the giant bronze golem from Jason and the Argonauts, as does the gargantuan iron golem from the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon episode Beauty and the Bogbeast… and that rocks hard like heavy metal should, on THAC0 Thursday!!

For Throwback Thursday, one of the very first pieces I wrote back in 2012, was about one of the biggest things in my pre-teen years: TNT's MonsterVision! Specifically the early 90s, Pre-Joe Bob era, when they would show a lot of old sci-fi and monster movies. This is the expanded redux on wrote a few years back on MonsterVision, and how much it meant to me. SUCH a great time for television.

They Came from the Cyclops's Cave!
The first game I've ever pitched and developed is out!
They Came from the Cyclops's Cave! is a game of fantasy cinematic adventure. Part of the They Came From series by Onyx Path Publishing, Cyclops's Cave is completely standalone, an awesome game covering fantasy in all its shapes.
Each They Came From is a love letter to a given movie/media genre zeitgeist, and I pitched Cyclops's Cave to be unique and do the whole fantasy genre. It allows to play from Harryhausen movies to The Lord of the Rings, passing through Xena, Ladyhawke, He-Man, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, The Black Cauldron, and Dragonheart.
Seriously, I can't overstate how much range this game has. Like, it *technically* covers TV shows and movies from the 40s to the 90s, but I am who I am, so you'll find nods to Adventure Time, Zelda, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and many more in here. Of course you will, this game's my baby, and I wanted it to commit to fantasy at its fullest.
Here you'll find:
- Tools to create your own heroes, be them warriors, gorgons, pixies, slimes, or mimics
- Cinematic powers that replicate movie beats.
- A vast collection of antagonists and creatures.
- Two ready-made scenarios.
...and much more!
Seriously, I love They Came From, how it combines comedy and devotion to media at the table through honest love. This baby of mine is the result of so much hard work, done by a team of awesome people who poured their love for the project into all pages.
Please consider checking it out! That would mean the world to me.
(Also: Cyclops's Cave is the foundation for the upcoming They Came From Witchford Academy!, its very cool upcoming Magical School supplement!)
