[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 7652085, member: 66434"] There was a bit about that in Dragon issue #99. The one thing about traditional boxed text that was amusing was the order of presentation in some situations. Quite possibly from some classic module: [Boxed text] The room beyond the wide mahogany door is richly furnished. The West wall is decorated with murals depicting a hunting scene, the East wall is hung with several tapestries which feature knights at a tourney. On the North wall, opposite the door is a large stone fireplace, with a fire crackling within. On a mantle above the fireplace are six statues of animals which appear to be made out of some silver colored metal. The statues are roughly 1 foot tall and appear to be a bear, a wolf, an elk, a moose, a tiger, and a wolverine.
