Page 45 of the AD&D 2E Monsterous Manuel: The Cockatrice
2E Monsterous Manuel wrote:The cockatrice is an eerie, repulsive hybrid of lizard, cock, and bat.
:shocked:



As for the Musical about me life... same book, different page (257, to be precise):The Mongrelman.
(Specifically, their Habitat/Society section)
2E Monsterous Manuel wrote:Because of their appearance, mongrelmen are seldom welcome in any lawful or good society, and are usually enslaved or abused by evil or chaotic groups.
(it is worth noting that mongrelmen are listed as Lawful Neutral and are described as being really nice and polite)

Shit. This is what I get for having my brother's old 2E books lying around; 2nd Edition is ruining my life.

Although, it could be worse, I suppose. I could've gotten the prostitute encounter table from the 1E DM guide.

Maybe I should stop letting Tim Beach and Doug Stewart guide my life.

(speaking of which, Gary Gygax isn't listed in the special thanks section of the Monsterous Manual or the DM guide. I thought it was interesting...)

People will probably still be complaining months down the road. You can't do much about pdfs that have already been downloaded and possibly torrented. It's enough to make the matter laugh-worthy to me at least.

So, I decided to try my luck again with another masterpiece of 2nd Edition love. This time, the DM guide, specifically the bit detailing how to handle custom PC races.
2e DM Guide, Page 16 wrote: NPC REACTIONS: ... These reactions will make life more difficult for the player character, but they are the price the player pays for his unusual choice.
So, basically, I'm screwed on every level. Fuck.

I'm just gonna stop trying.

For some time now, social and cultural advances have been more acurately predicted by humorists, anyway. Mad Magazine predicted reality shows in what should be the 60's or 70's. I need to find that edition again.

Half of them are from Gen5, so that's understandable if you haven't played it.

From left to right:
Nick Fury- Scraggy (this is the best part, I think)
Loki- Zoruark
Hulk- Shiny Ursaring (yep, shiny ursarings are actually green)
Thor- Raichu
Captain America- Braviary (the most obvious choice, though sadly it can't learn Fling)
Iron Man- Scizzor (Steel type scyther evo)
Hawkeye- Swellow
Black Widow- Meinshao

edit: As cool as the pic is, that lineup is actually kind of lack lustre, since there are a number of types it can't counter with a strong STAB move. Also the fact that three have a normal type means that three slots are essentially wasted...

"Runaway Bestseller, Over 5 in print"

:rofl:
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."
