It's astonishing how many members we have here at the ACAEUM that enjoy beating dead horses.

Martin,
The beating of dead horses seems to be an enjoyable past time for many Acaeum Members.

I have a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

Perhaps if certain members would stop killing all the horses, other members wouldnt have anything to beat? :roll:

Maybe we should invite the flunkies from Troll & Toad here. Then we could REALLY beat some dead horses.

It's the "Please Read" that makes the post annoying... as if it's some urgent news or something when it turns out to be some random post.

Ask me about my new M16!

A scroll down the list of TSR strands reveals half a dozen non-TSR companies with discussions on the TSR page. These strands are also equally advertisments for publications not printed by TSR.

It has annoyed me for quite some time now. I just haven't said anything about it because I don't post here all that much. I misread the title of the thread and thought it was about the Tomb of Horrors, as in some interesting new information about it.

Yes, and even more technical is the description or stated intent of the forum section which quite clearly reads:

General discussion of role-playing-game collectibles produced by TSR.

I, however, do not care. Not interested in another reflux of things I own already.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.
