And you thought dwarves were short (a thread about funny typos)

elminster

I came across this while reading the Complete Book of Dwarves.



Funny part is they repeat the same mistake on the very same page for Deep Dwarves (it says they vary in height from 4 to 42 feet)

Just thought it might be kind of fun to have a thread about funny typos. Keep it civil and PG13 of course

In the first printing of the 2E Monstrous Manual (Not Monstrous Compendium) Cyclops can hurl boulders for 410 points of damage.

Instead of 4d10 damage.

I've learned I need to hire several of them immediately.

That may not actually be a typo. Just sayin'.

It'd be a damn good deterrent that's for sure.

This one took me by surprise...

PG-13 takes out all my favourite typo related stories . Like the advertisement for the "Men's Massive Shirt Sale" with a letter missing. I'll let you all guess which letter was ommitted.

Here is a hint and a related typo:

Oops, meant to include this...stupid clumsy fingers.

Someone gave me a list of "Famous Last Words" in RPGs. My favorite one being, "What do you mean, a Pentagram has only FIVE Sides?!"

LadyRhian

And this one should give the people who played in my Ravenloft game flashbacks: "I see HOW MANY wights?!" (from the crypts of Ravenloft)

I once signed off a work related email with "Kind Retards" instead of regards... Didn't go down well.

elminster

I frequently sign emails with "Best Regards"

It probably avoids that sort of an issue.

Something about seeing McNutt and Creamation made me snicker just a little.

@abacus , G is close to T on the keyboard, so I would think most people would be understanding about such an easy-to-make typo. Smile or chuckle at the accident, sure, but not get mad about it.

Yeah, it was more a mock(ish) affronted reply, followed by a fair amount of merciless teasing!
