Posted - 03 Dec 2004 : 16:02:31 hehehe, found this on the WotC forum. Quite funny, it shows the Players Guide to Faerun on the table in a pic in the Sharn: City of Towers Eberron book... yes it is real, not butchered.

Being somewhat of a graduate of the arts myself this is exactly what I was thinking. If that is indeed the case then I got it right away. I guess the "joke" is on the editors then eh? ;) |

A little knowing is a dangerous thing. |

I already pointed that one out on Worlds.
Interestingly, it shows something about the folks of Eberron . . . apparently, they read right-to-left. Good information to know when roleplaying.
Oh, and Sage says there are at least two other Easter eggs in the book, but the only thing he's letting on is that one of them is an obscure 1e reference.
Easter eggs, huh? I've seen that term in many place, but never in reference to something in a print book. I suppose it's appropriate, though. |

Dargoth, this is where I got this from originally (see my initial post).
Maybe it would go down well in the EB forum on WotC |

I'm almost tempted to go over there and see the resultant discussion... But not quite. |

Give them a break WR! The figures in the image probably tossed the tome down in a huff asking, "Is it Ukta or Uktar?"

Keep a look out for future Eberron artwork, maybe lurking behind a tree will be Drizzt, or stood at a market stall buying apples will be Elminster Hold on, that Warforged looks uncannily like Wulfgar |

Someone has a good sense of humor. Actually several someones as not only did someone have to draw this, but someone had to approve the piece's inclusion in the tome.
Thanks for the pic!
