In regards to the current auction that's listed under interesting items




** expired/removed eBay auction **




If you select the character sheet and zoom in, Steve's character name is written as "Illyasia Morningstar". Yet, in the Dungeon Master's Adventure Log, the character is listed as "Illysio Morningstar".



It is supposed to be the same character, right? I wasn't sure if this was a similar mistake in spelling to something I read about when "Gleep Wurp" was printed (article on DF?).

Howdy,


The names in the back of the book were ad hominem nods to various designers and their friends at TSR. Some of the details are different from the original character to the version in the back of the DM's Adventure Log.

In fact, Illysia is a female and Illysio is a male.


Futures Bright,

Paul

I like the authentic Air Force AF form 706, Swimming Pool Operational Log, dated Sep 78.

Of course it is not really D&D related....... :roll:

Thanks for the info.  I was wondering about the gender difference, too. Then I thought maybe it's like a husband and wife adventure team, like in Hart to Hart, or rather Morningstar to Morningstar  :)
