Aww, thanks, but I wasn't actually thinking of the poster, but the character from which I'm mostly sure he got his name. ("Fizban" is a character in the Dragonlance novels.)

I'm glad! ^_^

Spoiler: Explaining the joke

Show

Fizban is strongly implied to be, if not out-and-out stated to be, Paladine in disguise. Paladine is Dragonlance's name for Bahamut. His sister is Tachisis, AKA Tiamat. Fizban, in his Fizban disguise, is a dementia-stricken loon of an elderly wizard, and would absolutely be behind pranking people if he could be kept focussed enough to do it.

Side trivia: the character Zifnab in the Death Gate Cycle may or may not be the same person; this is even less clear than the connection between Fizban and Paladine.

1652.) book of trigon brother blood edition

Is that Book of Trygon: Brother Blood Edition or Book of Trygon Brother: Blood Edition? Or something else entirely?

ravens dad one brother blood was his cleric if there is one is past i will change one

[Lord Torath]

ravens dad one brother blood was his cleric if there is one is past i will change one

So Brother Blood is the author/editor of the book? If that's the case, then Book of Trygon: Brother Blood Edition would be correct.

Trigon and Brother Blood are supervillains from DC Comics

Okay, I give. What's this a reference to?

Some D&D editions have incredibly bad rules about using skills to make money. Specifically, 3.5 has rules for using "profession" skills to make money that don't have any requirement on the sort of place you have to be to make money. So if you get yourself stuck in a demiplane and have ranks in a profession skill, you can pass the time making profession checks and accruing money.
