It's a mixture of folklore, behind-the-scenes stuff and regular old D&D nonsense in today's episode!

Hey, James! Listened to this episode today, and I wanted to share an idea that plays upon your thoughts on how the kamadan is a tactically interesting enemy, in which positioning and teamwork are both important, when really this is not the case with a lot of other monsters from this book... I think that the early-mid AD&D period was a time in which there was a pretty big rift in the player base between groups that played with miniatures, an groups that played without them. Monsters like this one (in which positioning and grouping are both interesting and important) likely come from people who did use miniatures, while others may come from people who did not. Mine you, I didn't actually start playing for a few years after this, but that argument (imagination vs representation) was still burning between people I played with who HAD been playing since the early 80s. I think it's one of the back-and-forth struggles which has defined the different iterations of D&D. As an aside, I thought your bit on the kenku was excellent.

Also on the kamadan, check it out, they brought it to 5e! <a href="http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Kamadan" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Kamadan</a> (Also, it's described as being like a leopard, but that is one beefy leopard with some pretty big rosettes... I think the artist was aware that given the setting they decided to insert it into, it should have been like a jaguar instead.)
