The Gill-man v1.00 is in the jam


The Gill-man is a true classic! That costume found its way into so many sci-fi movies, but there's a rich history of amphibious humanoids (Wikipedia has a long list that includes Jar Jar Binks.) Some of my favorite movies came from 1954: Godzilla, Them!, and Creature from the Black Lagoon. Hopefully the last of the Universal Monsters fits in well with a  Blades in the Dark crew.

I tried to add an aquatic twist to the greaseman heist role archetype with a touch of Houdini. There's some Abe Sapien and Lady in the Water nods in homage to Guillermo Del Toro's contributions.  Maybe could be played as Daryl Hannah from Splash! with modern Kill Bill flair?

Feedback appreciated! Let me know if you play with it!
