Arcane Runes Press is.....
uh
...... the name of my company.
None too exciting I suppose, but it is, along with a ninja man picture, on all my business cards.

Alaric Prympax is an important NPC IMC set in Greyhawk. Alaric because I've always liked the name from histroy (yes, I know he was a barbarian but I've always thought it was a cool name) and from Fantasy novels (Kathrine Kurtz' Deryni novels, Alaric Anthony Morgan is my favorite character). Prympax is derived from the city Prymp in GH in Ahlissa where his family comes from. I developed a long histroy of his family and the Great Kingdom and a little dispute over the throne of the Aerdi.

Well, while I don't post much any more, I was here back when this was Eric Noah's boards. Back on the original boards, there was a fellow named Ruin Explorer who liked to argue. I felt like getting into an argument with him (I believe my first argument was that Robin Hood was a paladin and not a ranger), but I needed a screen name. I played Shadowrun mostly at the time, so I decided to go with a Shadowrun name for a D&D board. I was there to argue, anyway, so I thought I should just be contrary.

Made mine from a Dragon article on creating Elvish names.
Mara=Priest
ansr=runes
sreth=magic.
So all together it comes as Priest of the runic magic. Or something like that. Was about 5 years ago or so that I came up with the name.

Me? Doraemon is the blue robotic cat from the future come to save the world and he has a really really cool pocket of holding that is infinite in size, weight of 0, and holds everything that comes to your imagination. I was nicknamed that a few summers ago because I always carried a million things in my pocket and I was looked like him. 8 because it is my favorite number, 4*2 (42)=8, 8 is merely infinity on its side, and because 8 is shaped like doraemon.

Cool. Frostmarrow was a necromancer too, originally. A friend of mine made a EQ-clan-website and he wanted me to write some stories and background for it. I invented Frostmarrow and told the stories through him. Frostmarrow the scribe.
Aitch Eye
First Post
I wanted to use something from Cordwainer Smith's "Instrumentality" future history stories, but names like "Manshonyagger [Menschenjager]," "Manikin MEEE," and "Old Hot and Simple" all just seemed like they'd be a bit much when paired with casual posts. I thought Aitch Eye sounded low-key but still pleasantly mysterious, but should have guessed that people would think it was an encoded greeting. It actually comes from the millennia-long conspiracy among animal derived slaves to gain legal rights; while the words do stand for the letters, it's an acronym.
