Cartoon from the Space Gamer magazine's "Murphy's Rules" section, drawn by Ben Sargent. An adventurer is hanging upside down, one leg caught in a rope, and looking unimpressed. A bearded, robed figure holding a deep tray of items approaches and says "CIGARS… CIGARETTES… SAGE ADVICE?".
Above the cartoon is text about the rule:
"PROBABLY WITH A POUND OF FLESH" -
A player who has become expert at Yaquinto's MAN, MYTH & MAGIC may choose to become a 'Sage.' A Sage is not permitted to tell his fellow players any game rules or statistics... they have to pay him for the information...".
