I just discovered I've got a children's dinosaur book written by Roy Chapman Andrews. He was a badass paleontologist and the possible inspiration for Indiana Jones. He led the first fossil hunting expedition to the Flaming Cliffs in Mongolia. Flipping through the book, I found this rad illustration.

    I feel like I had this book as a kid.  This image looks wicked familiar.

    The book is called "All About Dinosaurs," published 1953. I bet your school library had it.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
