Advertising Fail


Off-Topic Discussions


Just received an email. I will not mention the company as it'll give them free advertising.

"Monster Offer - 25% Off!"

Excitedly, I clicked and investigated their website. Alas, not only were there no monsters available at 25% off, there were none at full price either :(

Should be laws against this kind of false advertising...

Still, at least it means I'll be sticking with Paizo as my source of monsters for the foreseeable future.


Screw that. They offer monsters, they better have monsters to sell. Hey, you have any suggestions for where I can get an otyugh? I have a bunch of troubles with my drains.

I know, right?!?! Just like the time I saw a "Mammoth Sale!" but all they had was furniture, and only human-sized. WTF!

At least I was happy back in the day when I saw someone had put up a poster saying "Free Nelson Mandela" and someone had hastily scribbled underneath it "Desmond Tutu - 50% off". Ah, the Eighties!!!! So innocent and fresh.

The two biggest false advertising things I have seen are for the movie "The Neverending Story" and BJs club.

We have a saying in our group...don't put the Otyugh before the wagon.

We have always wanted to tame one and use it to haul our wagon of goods but nobody ever did a good build that could do that....
