Just looking at this thread and man... did it take a weird turn from WD saying he's back
Indeed, indeed.

Let's change the topic back to the meanings of our online names
I like the comic 'Walking Dead' and I'm a dad. 'Nough said
I'll need to take a look at that. I love zombies.
My online name is my university id to log into their system. I use it for everything because it's always available so 1 username for anything I do online.
My handle is from the first PC I designed for the (original) AD&D Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting back in 87 (I think). Rhun Darkstar, moon elf ranger/magic-user. Of course, I intended at the time for it to be pronounced "rune" when I think the spelling would indicate "run." Oh, well...what can you do?

That's funny, reminds me of the Rogue my friend rolled in our first game back in the 90's. His name was Luscious Moonshine...it was supposed to be Lucius, but he misspelled it and when the DM was looking over the character sheets at the first session he doubled over laughing. After that Lucius was Luscious for the rest of the campaign.

That's great! In the last tabletop game I played, one of the PCs (an elf) picked Smallwood for his surname without realizing the "double entendre" nature of the name...needless to say, not only did the other PCs tease him, but just about every NPC that heard his name began to tease him as well. It was a good time.

Mine is just boring -- my real (middle) name is Leif, and that's what my friends call me. That was how I received my invitation to ENWorld, though, so I just went with it. I blame Scotley (the sender of said invitation).
And, Rhun, you neglected to mention the appearance of "Rhun" on maps of Tolkein's Middle Earth.
Jemal was the first named badguy I ever invented as a DM for a D&D campaign - A 2nd ed Vampire Assassin. It was made up from my real name (Jim). This was nearly 2 decades ago. Since then, I've become very attached to several different incarnations of the character, and 'jemal' has become my online persona.
Ironically, I didn't find out until several years after inventing the character that 'Jamal' was a common name amongst black people, after asking people on the internet why they kept mispelling my name with an A instead of an E.

Well, yes...Rhun is also a nation in Middle Earth. But it really didn't have anything to do with the PC name.

I'll take the blame for Leif's dull handle. Lord knows I've taken the blame for lots of more unfortunately things in his life.
Can I start using you as a scapegoat as well, Scotley?

Sorry Rhun, it seems I'm already spoken for. I do have a younger brother that I used to use as a scapegoat rather frequently, but not so much lately. I would be willing to lend him to you at a very reasonable rate.

on line screen name: Scott DeWar-- a permutation of the name of my favorite drink, Dewar's Scotch.
Ah, a blended scotch man, eh? I prefer my single malts.

I can't afford single malts, to tell you the truth. too much invested in coffee I guess. But for the record, Duwar's does have a single malt that is smooooooth

They do? I'm going to have to check that out and give it a try.

hey, thats it funny! phisics....power...matter to energy conversion....aw, nevermind.
Actually, that's pretty funny to an ex-physics major! But, as I recall from my mercifully brief studies of physics, the definition of Power is Work/Time (Or was that Work*Time?)
