Anime infl Metroid and maybe Bionic Commando

https://m.youtube.com/shorts/6etau2yhq8Y

1982, Crystal Bowie, Space Adventure Cobra

They say influenced Metroid. Arm gun etc.

When was Bionic Commando… having a grapple arm claw seems identical.

Draw Steel and old D&D

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UTbeWhngiZQ&ra=m

Commentor andrewsnee6452 says - sounds like old school dnd. Look at module b2, or g1 to g3 or D series to see Gygax put in hordes of monsters. Younger OSR crowd ppl retconned that into being “avoid combat”. But true 1980s players would get super magic items to bexome superhero powered up. Power gaming was the most common approach. - - he was DM in 1980s and thinks Drawsteel kinda can play that way, even those okd TSR adventures.

Names for dnd

Garl - from garlic

Gravit - from gravity

Ormhall - from wormhole

These ideas are just random from me based on sounds alone, not meaning per se. BUT, maybe Ormhall is from another plane via a wormhole.

Halfling’s Blackflame super item

The Halfling Blackflame is very interesting. Just the details get the juices flowing… cold damage, can light but not burn a normal torch, does burn unburnable items, unburns ashes back into the original components. Man there is so much a DM can do with that. I’m thinking of ashes in a holy container, that when restored, gives you an ancient map to something major.

NEXT TIME Beholder - from BECMI

Beholder - hides 120 ft behind blast spore(s)… then leaves and comes back in 24 hours???? Or just fights maybe.

Blast spore - could it be charmed or telekinesised by the behilder as a trick!?!? Looks like beholder. Very dangerous if dont have cure disease, 24 hours insta kill players.

From the Companion set (3rd book, the C in BECMI).
