Epiphany!: New use for spam in gaming

[Rel]

So this morning I sat down to perform my morning ritual of deleting the 20-30 spam emails while carefully making sure not to delete any of the ones that indicted replies to my subscribed ENWorld threads. As is my habit, I scanned down the list of senders to see if there were any names that might be friends or perhaps people involved with the NC Game Day. One name jumped out at me:

Turfing Q. Bevelling

I mused to myself that Turfing Q. Bevelling would be a great name for a Gnome and suddenly I realized that I had this untapped resource at my fingertips. I immediately scanned the list of junk for other useful NPC names that I could incorporate into my games and came up with several:

Sonto Momam - sounds like a famous swordsman of some sort
Mariano Hull - Almost Star Wars sounding
BiggerPenisIn30Days - maybe a Transmuter Wizard or possibly a Barghest
Gatch - A great Orc name if ever I heard one
Asmoon - An elf or maybe a seer of some sort.

Check your email! Let us know what great NPC names are waiting amid your junk mail.

We always thought it funny that my wife used to get e-mails from that guy.

first name at the top of one of my email addresses was- lobley fontelroy

definetaly a gnomish thief.

and i think marianno hull sounds like a piratebopat with a female capt. that can kick your scrawny land lubbin tuckus.

Well, as illustrated by Piratecat, "there is no such thing as an original idea".

I think I might use this new source of names to come up with all the names for the PC's in the Sky Galleons of Mars game that I'm going to run at ENWNCGDIII.

Heck, I have uses for Spam (the original meat product) in gaming. It makes wonderful Paranoia food...

'round here we just say "Game Day" and have done with it. But I can't resist using the full set if initials when I'm looking for that overinflated sense of self importance.

Try it: "ENWMSGDI"

Hmmm... just checked spam mail account.

Dannette Guadagnolo - I'm not interested in a relationship

Yeah, well, blonds aren't my thing, so I'm not even interested in a one night stand.

Emilia Demarino - Reminds me of your ex

Strangely, I don't remember anyone trashy enough to wear that skirt with those shoes. Really, I do have standards.


The rest were suprisingly normal whitebread names.
