That picture was taken in my living room about three years ago. Where did you find it?

Well that's weird. I was scrolling through Facebook yesterday. I'll take the pic down if you want. But it's still awesome

No, I wasn't wanting you to take it down. The nice folks that were making the D&D documentary were at my house taking pictures, and I'm thinking that was one of them. They had sent them out on Facebook (or some other social media) back then. I just thought you'd like to know.

It was a prototype that was (obviously) never made. Brian Blume was pretty sure it was one of a kind.

I thought another sold that was "used and out of the box" a while back. Also I know a copy of the instructions came up on Ebay a couple years ago.

Wow. I'd read that TSR went nuts with merchandising back in the day.

And boy, I guess it's true. They REALLY went nuts with merchandising.

Is there ANYTHING they didn't slap their brand on?

Think about what you just said for a moment... Do you *really* want one of us to answer that question? PDT_Armataz_01_03

Question why is eBay allowed to remove negative feedback? I mean I know it is a stupid question asking why eBay can do anything but seems odd to me. Now I understand there are probably cases more often or not where someone is simply leaving nasty feedback that is unwarranted but still what's the point of a feedback system if they are just going to remove it?

I bought one of the new 5e books (instead of simply going to Amazon, not sure what I was thinking) and it was packaged like crap. Book was heavily damaged on two corners. Seller paid to return it (priority, crazy I know) which is fine and offered to ship a new one. I simply asked that it be packaged better or otherwise I don't really want it. She got nasty and said fine I'll just cancel it and reminded me that she knows what she is doing and doesn't need advice. Not sure why sellers think it's always the PO's fault when a book is damaged due to shitty packaging.

I only even checked because I saw someone else mention their feedback was removed so I got curious.

Side question, I know eBay obfuscates buyer's user ID's with the whole r***y type stuff but do they also change the star rating? I'm looking at my feedback, which says "removed by eBay" and the star number is definitely not me, lol but the item# matches the one in my purchase history so I know it has to be my feedback.
