[QUOTE="Psychotic Jim, post: 5198909, member: 547"] As I recall, this occurred when I was running the [I]Sunless Citadel [/I] almost a decade ago. RPG companies can come up with some [I]really bad[/I] names, and this module was no exception. There was a bugbear gardener who went by the name of Balsag. When I accidentally pronounced it "Ball sag", and there were laughs, guffaws, and chuckles all around. They didn't let that one go until a few years after that. Same thing occurred with a Charun type ferryman on the River Styx in [I]Hell In Freeport[/I]. His name was "Bish", and you can guess how they reacted to that...:heh: For a lwhile after, I would on occasion hear them threaten playfully to make a particularly troublesome NPC "their Bish!"* Fortunately, they seem to have forgotten about these name jokes a few years back. Not that there hasn't been other things for them to occasionally give their poor, old DM grief about, but that's all part of the game. *The exclamation mark is a necessary part of the statement.
