This is a blatent attempt to put some traffic on this newsgroup.
Do you think TSR will EVER fix the typo that says a monk
is an "aesthetic"?
Or maybe all monks like to smell flowers and collect Wedgewood
china.
Any other favorite typos in your games?

My (old) edition of the Player's Handbook lists one of the ranks of clerics as "Perfect." Why keep trying when you're Perfect?

Why keep trying when you're Perfect? My new copy still has the "aesthetic" typo, but the other one has been spotted by TSR's ever-vigilant proofreading staff. The title for a 5th level cleric is now just plain missing (or consists entirely of spaces). Oh well, nobody's prefect....

My favorite gaming editorial SNAFU (not strictly speaking a typo) SPI's board game Sniper (1st ed., a new one is due soon) had a rule on sighting which stated: "An erect man may expose himself in an aperture..." Sniper is a game of WWII urban combat. Does the above rule state anything about any proclivities of the average foot soldier? Ami Silberman "You can have cheese for brains if you roll 20's"

I really don't think that TSR will ever fix that one, they might, however, fix it in the new 2nd Edition rules that are supposed to be coming out within 2 years. Of course then there will be new typos to laugh at. Merlin There comes a time, thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle, the gold loses it luster, when the throne room becomes a prison.
