Re: Creatures for outer space (Vacuum quasielemental)

Love this content! I am to busy with RL here in New Orleans to have any time
on the forums (except for the periodic appearances over at Planewalker) so I
love seeing this content I would not have run across otherwise. One small
request, would you post links to these as well as the stat reprint? That way
proper credit is given to the authors who did such a fine job on them.

Keep posting. I am digging about in my Para/Quasi archives for vacuum
critters for you...
