What??  You mean you haven't heard of the Ralph Lauren Black Heels of stealth and seduction?  Just imagine, traipsing through that dungeon corridor when suddenly (!!) a goblin assault unit accosts you from all sides!  What to do?  Well you could massacre them of course, but what fun would that be, when that female (yes, usable only by females thank God!) in your group can seduce them and elist them into the group's service for your amusement and to be used as fodder!  They act as a charm person spell. :)

You should see the Armani cocktail dress of beguilement. ;)

Given some of the other stuff posted here that's a pretty bold assumption, I think.   8O

He forgot to note that one purpose of the module is for the PCs to locate the legendary Rabbit Ears +3. He also neglected to say that the quest is doomed to failure because the Slave Lords got cable a couple years back. :lol:


Just wait until Feetla gets back to the volcano and finds out Skinemax is out for the night...he's going to open a can of whoop ass...

This is laughable only in the sense that it made me laugh.  I'm almost tempted to bid.

You have to read this one.  I especially like that it includes a protective slip-cover to prevent damage!

Its a good thing they put the plastic slip cover on, I would hate to see the condition otherwise.

You've got it backwards.  The protective cover isn't to protect what's inside from what's outside.   8O   :lol:

Ok, on their own, these aren't all that funny.  But together, it looks like a case of the blind leading (and having his auction description stolen by) the blind.  :lol:

Ok, it turns out this one is just an auction for some painted miniatures, but the title made me grin.  2nd level fighter/cleric with a 16 DEX, anyone?

Looks like someone was trying to play D&D and grill at the same time.  8O   Either that or someone's toddler needs a beating.

Apparently they are merchants as well as lycanthropes.

Heh shouldn't it be $39 anyway?  I thought the DMG was $15, IIRC. ;)
