I concur. I remember the lad who once wore leather sandals to school and was forever after called Moses by his friends. 30 years later he is still Moses.
Or the girl who went to the pub wearing a top with leopard spots. Her friend ordered a pint "for Tony the Tiger" and the barman knew who he meant

I think the first edition of Pendragon remains the most beautiful box set in the history of the roleplaying game art form. Gorgeous cover by Jody Lee, innovative but clean layout by Yurek Chodak, wonderful full colour map by Charlie Krank and above all the romantic interior art by Lisa Free.
