I hated most of the Thieves World stories I read. Too bad.

with this one you won't be disappointed

you read TW, you take the aspirin, and you can sleep relaxxxxxxxxxx

Are they so bad? I don't know anything about these stories but the RPG seems to be interesting however. Didn't have the time to read it for the moment....

I liked them, gotta say. Gritty. I liked the whole squalor thing. I've always managed to squeeze Sanctuary into a campaign. It not as much that you can "see" the place, it's more that you can smell it. That may be an odd comment but it's just how I perceive it.

I suppose the next question is where did it smell like?

Hmm, most similar smelling city for me would be Tashkent

(this is the barking mad thread isn't it???)

This seller is totally reliable on shipping, but check out the picture and then read what condition the seller lists:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

I still might bid...?

i wonder why he didn't use the classic "VGC-" definition...

The guy is an idiot!! Not everything is a valuable collectable already.

Games can get you through times of no money but money can not get you through times of no games!!

Well done Marlith, you are right!

He wrote 'vent' instead of 'vends'. (Wind instead off sell). This guy is writing phonologically his mother tongue.

Vener voir => Venez voir.

On ne s'est jamais => On ne sait jamais.

3 verbs, 3 mistakes

Is ebay.com so poor grammatically speaking ?

It's actually a nice set. Duck soup for a miniatures man to reassemble the old undead regiment.

Nice to see good old Hecatron again, even with the day-glo beard.

Unless the seller's done extensive modifications, that's the haft of his flail he's holding, not his naughty bits. It's the camera-angle that makes it look suggestive.
