Pretty much this, except that I learned about Melf the same way. But then, it never occurred to me to even look for hidden meanings in published character names.Up until a few years back when I read someone mention it on one of these very forums.
So...figure about 30 years or so into playing.
I knew about "Melf" several decades earlier though. Do I get bonus/make-up points for that?
