I came across a wierd encounter, and I've seen it mentioned here already, the Minator and the two corpses in the room full of the mushroom dudes. I think I might have a small idea of what that was..........
TSR got bought out by Wizards of the Coast, who's flagship product used to be Magic the Gathering. Having been a Magic player for a while, and seeing the stories they set flavor text on the cards to work in, I think the situation could be this....
In the current Magic story, there are a number of main characters, Gerrard, the hero and captian of the plains-crossing flying ship Weatherlight, Hannah, a gal who builds magical artifacts and is the Weatherlight's navagator, and Tanganarth, a minator who provides the mussle for the crew. There are many more characters in the story, but the colors on the bodies of the two dead humans in that room looking strikingly like those that are used in the artwork depecting Gerrard and Hannah.
Maybe WotC is crossing some of their games for fun.
Makes some sence. If you notice, there's a highly addictive drug called Black Lotus that's talked about a few times in the game. The Black Lotus is the most famous card in the Magic game, costing one about $300 if you tried to buy it today.
Ugh. I just hope that if they keep this up, they don't try to incorperate Pokemon into the game. Well, on the other hand, i'd be kinda satisfying to get a critical hit on Pikachu and turn him into chunks!!! >: )
