No worries. I wasn't trying to say you stole anything. Sorry if it came across that way. I just thought the similarities were interesting.
and from my brain
Oh-oh
Grum's brain has leaked all over the boards . . .
Actually, its great stuff. I've always seen the pterrans as kinda bland. Glad to see someone breathing some life into them. Nyt changed my opinion of villichi, now your doing the same with pterran. Thanks much, and let's see some more!
I am reviving this thread so the new peoples can see what I had worked on about the Pterrans. Just in case they have ideas about these.
I will start working slowly again on this project (maybe it's going to be done in 10 years?! argl! D&D5ed !
Thank you for any comments or english correction (sage?

NOTE - at first glance, it appears some of the dates might need fixing, but I have not had time to check for sure.
The passage marked in red, I just couldn't make sense of in my tired daze. So if anyone else wants to give it a try.....?
There could be error in the date, but I took great deal of time to be sure. Although, one can never be certain.
