[Ben Wafer] Ah, I see. I'm not familiar with Lords of Madness (I'm not
familiar with most 3/3.5e stuff), so I didn't know about that. Frankly, it
sounds like a really silly reboot to me. One of the things that I liked
about the Illithiad was the way the in-universe author dismissed the
Astromundi Chronicles as being clearly misinformed, and presented an
alternate explanation for the appearance of illithids in Astromundi (they
were fleeing from the collapse of their empire, but they weren't fleeing
through time).
