[QUOTE="Rel, post: 868256, member: 99"] [B] The short version is this: We were playtesting some rules for a book a friend and I wrote for Rolemaster. These rules involved spellcasters using different kinds of components to power their spells. The particular spellcaster in question used animal parts and needed feathers to cast a certain ritual. She reasoned that chicken feathers would be the easiest to come by in the small village where they were located. The funniest part was that it never occured to her that she could probably just find some feathers laying around the nearest chicken coop AND that she wanted to purchase a "used" (i.e. previously owned) chicken to save on costs. We quickly asked her where she thought she would get a "New Chicken" and how would it differ from a "Previously Owned Chicken". We had such a good laugh about it that when the book was published her attribution as a playtester was printed as: "*First Name* "We're going to need a used chicken." *Last Name*" I also wanted to mention that: made me laugh out loud. :D[/b] [/QUOTE]
