[Dimenhydrinate]

Has anybody else seen this one yet? I think this could be mined for a game or two.

Bah beat me to it. An you wonder how all those strange ghosts got out in the world of CoC.


I also think the picture with the "ghosts" is kinda spooky.

Behold the powers of the Internet, why throw things out when you have E-bay

fark you!

uhh no. I had never even heard of fark.com until you mentioned it. I just happened to stumble across the ghost while looking through the weird stuff on ebay. I do it about every 2 to 3 days to find the oddest things I can.

When I looked at this this morning, it was at $14k. It's at $99,999,999 now.

Someone at work just showed me that! Man that's messed up. The guy is saying he'll report people who do joke bids to the FBI.

Yup, I can just see the setup now:

"An unscrupulous merchant is trying to scam adventurers by offering to sell them a bogus Allip in a Jar, and threatening to report them to the elite Golden Leopards if they offer him money jokingly. A Horrific Misadventure for 4-6 PCs of 1-20 level. Requires PayPal."

I have a bridge over some swampland I'm just dying to get rid of....

Reminds me of 'Expiration Date' by Tim Powers. It's a modern day tale about people who capture the peoples' dying breaths. Inhaling the captured breath resulted in a drug-like high as you experienced the person's life. The main plot of the story revolved around a vial that supposedly contained the last breath of Thomas Edison.

I split my work day between ENWorld & Fark...

I mean...working. I spend my work day working. I think I was the one who posted the ghost in a jar on Fark yesterday.

I definately see potential to work it into a game...or even design a whole new game around it...it is truly a wonder to behold...
