Agreed.  Some of those TSR cards were scraping the bottom of the NPC 
barrell for ideas.

And some of the names they came up with?  "Puirty Valor"? "Mitre LeMond"?  

It's like when you played back in junior high school, and the new guy 
wanted to game, so he made up a cheesey character and name and played once 
and then you never heard from him again.  Then they went out and made an 
NPC card of his stupid character, insteasd of YOUR awesomely cool evil 
elven half-drow who looks like a surface elf and is really a complex 
individual who's just misunderstood and if you knew what he's been through 
in the past you'd understand why he's the way he is and if someone would 
just take the time to get to know him they might be able to change his 
life around so that one day he could enjoy the splendors of Arvandor which 
is what he truly desires deep down under his rough and violent exterior 
with a name that took you 2 weeks to come up with while pouring over old 
out of print editions of Tolkien and Tolkienesque books!

But I'm not bitter..... 

Anyhow, I digress.....

I'm surprised they didn't have a card for "Fubar the Barbarian" or some 
other asinine character.

BTW- does anyone have the insert cards?
