I want a plush version of the dragon on the Warez Dood's (Denver
GM Sourcebook) T-shirt. In blue please. (I'm assuming Dunkelzahn would be
the only dragon to actually allow a likeness of himself to be an
merchandise.)

I couldn't think of any more dragons at the time, and you know how lazy I
am... Anyway, the corp that makes them isn't located in CalFree, so they
have little to fear of Hestaby :)

As someone (Andy?) asked once: does advertising on the list mean you get a
free plane ticket to the States? If so, I've got some stuff I want to try
and make you lot buy :)

*sigh* Doesn't everyone? :)
