*Makes a note*

 

[Rystil Arden]

Was s bit confusing on the occasions I looked at it. Though I think I'm guilty of using another character's name as well in SotD - Marl, I believe was the name.

A world where there is only one person with each first name has no verisimilitude at all. You should see Medibaria--I hear the Highborne have a tendency to name their daughters Elayna after a legendary queen

Oh, I completely agree - it just can get confusing. I believe that other character was playing in Creamsteak's ill-fated Ignussus game, though, so the potential for confusion was minimal.

There were also two Grog PCs, though I think they are both inactive now. One was and orc and the other a half-orc.

Maybe the half-orc was the orc's son?

"Me Grog. Son of Grog."

"What would you like to drink?"

"Grog."

In my case, they are in the same game, but they know it is confusing so they go by nicknames

Allow me to rant about two similarly-named unnamed halflings in a game that I might have run or not...

And I think one of the Grogs was named Grogg. I'm not sure if we actually had a truly doubled PC name yet, but we had some extremely close ones.

 

[SlagMortar]

I told you, that's Patlin's fault. I posted mine first.

Similary named but unnamed? I'm confused

"Me is Grog. Son of Grogg."

"Why he have two 'G' and you have one?"

"Me only half orc. so half 'G's."

Unnamed is not nameless.

"Me is Grog. Son of Grogg."

"Dey cannae ev'n counta three!"
