Plunder Funnel!

The sketch is ok. But just the name "Plunder Funnel" for an advertised scam tickles me inside. It seems so apropos and there's some semi-rhyme going on there that gets me.

Noting this post for future reference.

Gabe used old-school D&D rules to run a "historical period" side-adventure to his current 4th Ed. D&D game. Basically used an old-school D&D clone to do so (to give a "things worked differently back then" feel).

Interestingly he used the Swords & Wizardry game whose Peter Mullen's artwork I love.
