Well, I'm just tired of these types of sellers pissing in the pool and ruining it for everyone. Since the new feedback rules were made specifically for this type of yo-yo, and BECAUSE of this kind of yo-yo, I say he needs to get hammered before he thinks he's "Cougie II" and embarks on a career of "What? Who said the rulebooks and maps are included? Why assume that? BLOCK WIPE!!!!

I was reading my Runquest Box Sets Creature guide book and it lists a lot of creature intellegence ratings (INT is a large part of the game mechanics) and the chart shows a Shrews intellegence at 3.

Just above worms and plankton...........

All PC's start at a minimum of 8 INT (for 3rd Edition).

Listen Aneoth, you were not there.  This Shrew was probably the badest, meanest, SOB shrew you ever went up against.  Once it latched on to Badmike's character it would not let go.  It had fire in its eyes.  This was no 3 INT shrew.  It was a beast, a monstrousity, and we are lucky to have survived.  

Badmike now suffers from night sweats.  At the site of any small rodent like creature he jumps on tables and shrieks.  It's sad, really really sad.

I am not particularly fond of Mondiversi, they generally ask for outrageous prices, but apart from this they are serious and honest. They have a few D&D modules up for auction now, among which is this one:

Maybe giant killer shrews? Just saw Attack of the Killer Shrews (starring that guy who played the sheriff on Dukes of Hazzard (tv)). THough these looked either like big dogs with a hairt carpet on them or tiny shrews photographed real big.

Hey Al,  you can always go with some Aussie animals (real but unfortunately extinct) next time.

How about the Bullockornis which is also known as the Demon Duck of Doom. I love that name. Sounds like something from Python movie.  A killer duck? At close to 3m tall it packs quite a bite.

Or how about the Trilophosuchus rackhami which is more affectionately known as the Drop Croc i.e. a crocodille which would climb trees and drop on its prey.

Or you could start with the native Australian Jack Jumper Ant.  As its name implies it jumps from trees onto its prey.  In Tassie they supposedly cause more deaths than spiders, snakes, wasps, and sharks combined.

A great technique for restoring the faded covers to your original supplements:
