It may not be exactly what Argento had in mind, but it's much more of a challenge for an adventuring party. Any more giallo-inspired monsters plannned?
ReplyDeleteHmm, I guess I could do a serial killer who quacks like a duck?
DeleteLove what Argento's title inspired here. And thanks, this comes at the perfect time for me, next session the party's checking out a mysteriously abandoned wizards manse, these guys are going in the sunken gardens.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, let me know how it goes!
DeleteGiallo titles are a rich, untapped vein of inspiration...
ReplyDeleteWhich could, of course, be a Giallo title itself.

You know, that's not a bad idea...
