Picking over the bones of the fallen!

A true tribute to D&D character interaction adn behavior, this sad tale is about an artist that worked in the gaming industry since '74. Our artist named David C. Sutherland III did numerous art and illustration pieces for TSR and other companies over the years, and now apparently his health is waining, infact his status is terminal. This being said he, or someone representing his estate, is selling off his collections of art and gaming related items in a pre-mortem sale to raise a little bit of money for hospital bills, inheritance, etc.

So, just like a true adventurer you too can pick over the bones of your mortally wounded party member and take the stuff that they won't need in the afterlife. Of course, if this were D&D he we would actually just take a toenail off him and resurrect him... what grim irony.

Anyway, bid on something and help this guy's family out if you can. I'm trying to get a beltbuckle and the 10th anniversary chalice. Ravenloft I and the rare II are both available, as are some editors copies of old school D&D books and AD&D books.

There is something morbid and yet noble about trying to buy a still living man's belt buckle...

Re Johnny's post: You are talking to to the wrong people about that flash movie... I think you are in the minority in your beliefs about this one on this blog....
