Early-mid 90’s (graduated in ‘95).
Head Modulos would be pretty cool D&D monsters. The deadly enemy of the neo-otyugh.
Well, it’s heroic fantasy so more like “kinstrife”. Or possibly an example of that minority ghetto violence you keep hearing about on right wing news :).
Monster-on-monster violence is holding the community back. Fight the real oppressors who come in to your neighborhoods, instigate the cycle of violence, take the wealth out of your community, and then justify their actions with claims that they have a superior alignment.
Heck, at my junior high school in the 80s we played The Assassination Game, with ‘look alike’ dart guns, printed hit lists, and with many of the teachers and staff also participating. Nothing like the excitement of drawing on your music teacher in the hallway, only to get a dart to the back of your head from the librarian.

I’ll post what answers I get tomorrow.
