Each angel sends its victim back a fixed number of years. Nightingale was hit by one, the Doctor, Martha and the cop by another.

Steady on... Ahem. Cthulhu Companion chapter from Call of Cthulhu 3rd edition hardback, Chaosium & Games Workshop 1986. Article by Lynn Willis. The prison is Chaya Ranas, "located in either North Africa or Middle East ... In the 18th century, the Bey of Ranas solved his convict problem by...

Definitely a CoC book. I have it, but not readily accessible. I believe it was the 3rd ed hardback CoC rulebook, which included the Cthulhu Companion and a third book. The book included several other prisons. Give me a day and I'll dig it out.

Hi, Probably slightly off topic, but there must be some Looney Tunes fans here :D I've just bought the Looney Tunes Golden Collection volume 4, which came out last Wednesday (Region 2 UK). Unfortunately, instead of the 60 cartoons present on the region 1 release, it only has 53. Does anyone...

I believe in 1st ed Deities & Demigods there's a god of gambling who uses the doubling cube for damage.

And the Egyptians, the Phoenicians, the Sabeans, the Ugarites, the Axumites ... In fact the only ancient Semitic language to use written vowels (Akkadian) had so many problems with them that I think it put off all their neighbours for several centuries.

Ring of protection +6 versus extinct creatures. Manual of gainful harvest - any commoner who studies this gains enough XP to go up to halfway point of the next level. Helmet of dragon detection - broadcasts wearer's location and thoughts to all dragons within 100 miles. Coin of the Styx -...

Golden rule: If you hold her hand, make sure she's only holding one finger, or you'll find out the meaning of SQUEEZE!

I'll let you know when I find any ;) Of course, there are official typos as well, like heucuva and huecuva.

I go for the Aztec/Nahuatl pronunciation (with x=sh) as well. It looks Aztec anyway, even if nothing to do with Aztec mythology, and it's quite easy to say. I-shi-cha-chi-tl. Who invented it anyway? Gygax?

Great work! Now I'm compelled to try and find either a typo or a monster you've missed :]

I've always had a soft-spot for the gorgomera. Replace the goat head with a gorgon head (metal bull, petrifying gas variety), unleash on PCs and watch the fun. I believe there's been a mantimera as well (chimera+manticore tail). <threadjack> When did chimeras get wings? The original chimera...

The mimic seems like an obvious monster - a squishy, sticky blob that can disguise itself as an object. However, does anyone have a pre-D&D reference to such a creature, epecially given the mimic's other features (intelligence, speech, inability to mimic metal)? Three possibilities to start off...

Now that would be silly. Next you'll be wanting Vietnamese tone markers :p

Thank you :o Have a few practice runs at pronouncing it before you unleash it on the other players :D

Ogoneks. Can't go wrong with ogoneks: Fąeyr'ęor'szti'iyr Come to think of it, it could do with looking a bit more Welsh: Ffąeyr'ęor'szti'iŷrydd

Fred Flintstone? Go on, admit you've wanted a dwarf called that.

You've made me smile at least :) The other day, trying get past writers block, I thought I'd come up with a whole bunch of family names so that I wouldn't struggle to come up with names for my minor characters. I was just brainstorming. Going back over them now, an alarming number of them...

1. Magic Missile 2. Web 3. Fireball 4. Remove Curse (especially in older editions!) 5. Disintegrate 6. Polymorph in its various forms 7. Cure Light Wounds Honary mention: Grease

Labyrinth of Madness, as mentioned by several people. Note that it can be played in several "modes", depending exactly on how badly the DM wants to annoy the players. Return to the Tomb of Horrors. No one's mentioned this yet? EDIT: Oops, just reread the OP :heh: Mordenkainen's Fantastic...
