Possibly just more idle than rich, I expect - you could probably make that for the price of the thicker sort of rule book these days, if you had the time. Boxcar Joe was more interesting, though I expect there's a bit of embellishment going on in just how widespread the appearances were for the later sections. I'm not one to let mundane reality get in the way of enjoying a good yarn, though, that's the whole point of role playing games.

... I'm going to have to use Boxcar Joe. Somewhere, somehow.
Hm. Got a D&D game I'm running tomorrow. And Shadowrun again two weeks after that...

Moorcock had the Eternal Champion. Clearly Boxcar Joe is the Eternal Hobo.

Great Dralm. It took me a few minutes to work out that to roll, the DM drops dice through the trapdoor at the top of the one tower, and they come out through the door at the bottom of the steps into that low-walled enclosure. I'm guessing those walls are high enough that the dice are unlikely to bounce over the walls and fall off the table. D&D supplies for the idle richer-than-filthy-rich....
Guys? Look carefully at the edge of the wall in the bottom picture, just to the right of the die roller tower.
That's wood that wasn't sanded down.
This is all home-made kit.

But does it count if it's a forced Boxcar Joe? Shouldn't it be a natural roll?
I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.
One day they're going to ban them.

And using a generator program. No, Boxcar Joe did not make an appearance in Narth. My players as usual outpaced me and I was too busy trying to keep up with them to do anything cute.

You know what's the worst about that first picture, Norgarth?
It'd work.

... and the redhead with the circular blue body is Jonni DC, their tongue-in-cheek continuity cop. Her body is the DC logo. Seriously.

Pfui. She can get in line behind Hawkman.

Pfui. She can get in line behind Hawkman. Hawkman has generally either been 'Reincarnation of Egyptian pharoh' or 'Alien spacecop', and sometimes both. DC may not be able to decide between those options, but they don't go making up something new every few years.
