	[quote name="jeep"][quote name="foogla"]Cat Lord, Hawk Lord, Erinyes, Succubus, Tiefling (do you have her number too jeep?). The Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix 1 is like Ad&d Porn. [/quote] TD is big on figure drawing, so all his humanoid sketches are based on people. In that period, they were people from that part of FL, usually friends of his because he couldn't afford models. I only really met the guy a few times, thus "aquaintence," but we had tons of friends in common. Like I said at the bottom of my post, the tiefling is his wife. I could never figure out who <a href="http://www.diterlizzi.com/tonys_work/games/dungeons_dragons/i/dnd-nymph.jpg">this</a> was. [quote name="foogla"]Also I thought "Jink" and all the other PS slang was taken from some old british thieves cant or something?[/quote] I figured it for an older term, and it is, DnD writers rarely come up with new words. No prior reference to currency to be had, though. I read it first in Planescape, so that's where it's from. Unless...(google)...scottish verb, means "dodge." Still used in rugby...maybe that's what Barry Sanders did? "High Jinks" originally a scottish drinking game: dice are rolled, loser has to drink. Top entry for "Jink definition" is "planar currency." No direct reference to Planescape or DnD made, though I expect that's what the page means. Any way you look at it, it's a new term for currency, even if it's a very good one. /jeep/[/quote]
