The description on this auction is fine, it's the Catoblepas' head I find funny.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

Damn.

I don't want to meet the Storm Giant who can do that

EDIT: I'm assuming the head came unattached, originally.

Granted they are these days, but I didn't know that 5th print MMs were made specifically as a 'Collector's Edition' BITD.

The toughest campaign of all was the one where you're in a world of dogs ... and fast ones, at that.

I was thinking it was a post-apocalyptic world where a certain corporation gained control because all the people left the driving to them.

This is the folio version, not the boxer set.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

Taped, damaged, stained, missing .... what else do you think of that's synonymous with an item description of "Near Mint"?

I just get so confused reading past that the "ledgible" line

"you get this, but you don't get that...and that, and that. But don't worry it's part of this, but this still doesn't have this other thing..."

I think he ambushed us with a confusion spell!

Two auctions demonstrating that an auction can be amusing without the seller being ignorant or stupid:

. . . http://cgi.ebay.com/Dungeons-and-Dragon ... 0406022714

. . . http://cgi.ebay.com/DnD-4-0-Dungeon-Mas ... 0406025286

The seller has other auctions a similar vein.

The cat does look a little on the magical side... or just maybe a little possessed...

RPGâ€™s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. Itâ€™s bonded me together with life long friends...itâ€™s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

Not as downright disgusting as that last item :puker:
