“Only 100 exist. Vince McMahon gave these busts to his hand-picked guest at his locked-down, NDA-protected 80th birthday party at NYC’s Baccarat Hotel. Phones not allowed or checked in."
Makes more sense, only remember it used in the Jewish context, I used to love the books of monsters DnD put out for campaigns, but I can't remember shit that was in them.
It was used as such cause Gary Gygax studied a lot of religious history and incorporated a ton of religious ideas into the system, for good or not (in this case). Gygax did that a lot in D&D, the whole of it is heavily Christian coded too. Demons, angels, devils, churches, clerics, crusades, etc.
Why is the word still used? Cause if it doesn't involve Hasbro making more money they don't care. Offer em $20 to change phylactery to "amulet" and they'll do it, but not before lol.
I'd bid a fiver, just for the fucking weirdness of it. Of course I also think it'd be fun to go to Greece and toss it in the ocean for some diver to find later on hoping they found something.
Right? None of them are putting that shit on display in their homes lol

I've got to wonder what kind of person would not only be present for an event like that, but also put this on display in their home.
So who else is betting phylacteries?
Jewish cases that hold Torah Scrolls? That'd be a weird thing for these Halloween decorations.
No, phylacteries from D&D, container that holds a lichs essence so it can't die. Like a horcrux but less shitty and unoriginal.

I've always found it weird and gross that DND uses that word to mean "where liches keep their souls". Seems a little blood libel-ish.

Horcruxes, IMO.
So... are we betting that these are at Cena, Taker, and Lesnar's houses in prominent positions?
Quite likely.
Waiting to see one end up on eBay lol

Buy it and take a dump on his face, call it an art exhibit on his life, seal it in resin and resell it for profit.
...don't tho he may buy it himself lol
Where would you display this if you were one of the lucky owners? As for me, I think it would fit lovely between the toilet brush and the tp holder.
Ooo good idea!
I guess I just have better things to do
Ego on some people...
