Absolutely. I have no problem with serious or humorous portrayals, so long as you are playing well with the rest of the group. That's the key, play well with the group. Know where those lines are in how serious or humorous you can push it. That I'm cool with. My frustration is every time...

How does the name Hudson not fit with Ripley, Hicks, Bishop, or Burke. Seems to me like Hudson's player understood the tone. Now, if you are referring to how Hudson was played, then you've exceeded the context of this thread - which was discussing awesome versus serious NAMES. Indeed. Hence...

Nice strawman! 10/10 There's a huge degree of difference between wanting characters and NPCs to have names that fit the tone of the campaign and lecturing on the history of why copper pieces are called canaries in Ghurtyef'flan'd. (Feel free to add umlauts and accents where necessary.) If the...

My preference when naming D&D PCs and NPCs is to use real world names that fit the tone of the campaign. I found that www.behindthename.com is a good resource for naming characters. In particular, the sections on mythological names and ancient & medieval names is good for finding a name that...

I stopped playing in 1997 when I left for college, started playing again in 2003 after my gaming group reconnected post college and restarted the old campaigns. We've been playing mostly 1st and 3rd editions since then with a couple forays into 4th and 5th edition using the basic document. I...

Indeed I should be! But my greedy nature doesn't want me to 'waste' a plus vote on a creature with an odd total; thus far I've only plussed creatures with an even total.

I'm not arguing that lore creates a shared experience, that is billd91's argument; he can defend it. For my purposes, the value of lore is to serve as an inspiration for my game. If I like the lore presented I'll use it; if not, I'm fine with changing lore to suit the needs of my campaign. I...

Regarding RttToEE - It being a 3.0 book, 3.0 was quite clear on page 11 of the Monster Manual that the Climate/Terrain entry only listed where the creature was most often found. Most often =/= always. Monte Cook didn't disregard 3.0 lore by placing the blue dragon in the moathouse, he simply...
