The Banner

Edit: So it seems that a portrait banner throws off the layout of the website so we're going back to last months til I can iron things out.
Sorry I'm a bit late with the banner.  I've been busy studying Radiohead live setlist like Dead Sea Scrolls trying to divine the future.

In the pantheon of Dungeons and Dragons monsters, the illithid, or mind flayer, don't get the reverence among non-20-sided-dice-slingers they deserve.  In the game Mind flayers spit acid in your face and cast some of the nastiest spells around including the infamous Mind Blast,  an attack whose side effects may include; dry mouth, vomiting, uncontrollable rage, confusion, coma, permanent insanity, shitting the bed, and/or the least worth of all -- death.  To make matters even worse, illithid feasts exclusively on the brains of sentient beings.They exist only to fuck players up.  But outside the worlds of Dungeons and Dragons, people rarely know what an illithid is, so those of you working on a young adult novel about a monster falling in love with a adolescent girl who sees past the monsterish features and falls in love -- consider the mind flayer.
