Funniest RPG typo ever?

[Zander]

I used to think that this was the funniest RPG typo:

"...Hushed whispers among the slaadi say this is in fact a guise and not his true form. It is believed that his true form is that of a 15-foot tall black salad [sic]." Tome of Horrors, p234

But then I spotted this:

"I and my pubic [sic] understand each other very well: it does not hear what I say, and I don't say what it wants to hear." A (mis)quote of Karl Kraus in Gary Gygax's Insidiae, p79. NB this product uses Gary's name in its title but was actually written by Dan Cross.

Know of any other funny RPG typos?

In the back of the Artificer's Handbook, in the table for "random potion flavors", one of the choices is "creamy moose".

My personal favorite is in one of the Encyclopedia Magica books (for 2E D&D) where a find & replace was done for the word "mage" to "wizard" (for the whole book).

What you therefore ended up getting was where the word "damage" appeared, you got "dawizard".

You had entries like fireball does 1d6 dawizard per level.

I liked that April Fools thing WotC did a while ago where Stan! drew some of the major typos that the editors had caught.

Another one I liked was on the 2E Chronomancer supplement which told of terrifying monters [sic]. What the heck is a monter? (I even looked inside the book to see if there was a creature called a "monter", which, of course, there wasn't.

You should make one for d20. It can do lots of dawizard!

In 2e Planescape's 'Uncaged: Faces of Sigil', Shemeshka the Marauder's stat block listed her as a male arcanaloth. Later on, Ray Vallese joked about the typo and it being his lifelong dream to include DnD's 'first crossdressing arcanaloth'.

I've always been partial to the 1E PHB's description of the monk class' "aesthetic" (rather than the presumably intended "aescetic") lifestyle. This confused the hell out of me as a 10-year old and didn't know the latter word and had to look the former up in the dictionary (though it did help explain why the highest-ranked monk was called "The Grand Master of Flowers" ).

 

[der_kluge]

One of my favorites was a story in Dragon, I believe, that mentioned that in the original monster book, it had an entry for %liar. This was supposed to be %lair, and would represent how often the particular creature was in its lair or not.

The DM in the article had the party come across some elves that were in cages imprisoned by some orcs. The party asked the elves if they needed any help, and the DM (being true to the rules), rolled on the %liar, and succeeded. So, with tears in their eyes, the elves whimpered, "no..."

Although doing 1d6 dawizard is kinda funny....
