How do you pronounce "Kyuss"?

[chaotix42]

I pronounce it exactly as the Jester does. Kee-us, the "kee" being pronounced quickly and the "us" carrying out with a slight hiss.

 

[jester47]

yeah I am in the "key us" camp too.

Despite that, I have been saying it, and will continue to say it as key-USS.

All these years of being a fan of the band Kyuss, I always assumed the name must have been from mythology somewhere, but according to wikipedia, they actually named themselves after the D&D Kyuss. And they pronounce it the RIGHT way, (like pious, above)

Dang it. Names should be obvious sometimes as to pronounciation, Kyuss being one.

Funny aside:

Started a new game with a group of new folks the other night. After an hour, we'd pretty much wrapped up the part where all the characters meet and explain themselves. All the players (including myself) took notes furiously. Noting player names, char names, hints of class, heritage, and etc and etc.

After a bit, one player looked at me, and said, "How do you pronounce your character's name again?" See, all the players seemed to have used name generators.

I carefully and slowly said, "His name is T-H-O-M-A-S."
