[QUOTE="Andrew D. Gable, post: 859876, member: 4144"] I was fooling around on the webpage, putting together a little list of influences, inside things in the makeup of the world - and wondered if anyone has any similar things. Here's a list of mine to kind of show you what I mean. 1. The name of the ashin (one of the first men) Breum is also the name of an old wood elf warrior I played on Everquest for a while. 2. Of all the names in the history and gods, only M'shaak and creichthyan survive from the 1990 (earliest) incarnation of the world. 3. The names Signus (epic warrior, now demigod), Ichni (immortal wizard), and Nanotus (seneschal to the ruler of Korthet) are from an abortive novel I tried writing when I was 16. 4. Two more NPCs found in the description of Thane, Svannhilde Firehair and Delude Vivayne, are old characters I had on Dark Age of Camelot. They were a Viking warrior-woman and an Avalonian sorceress, respectively. 5. The capital of the nation of Langstrand, Lar Blace, is also the name of the first dungeon I created for the old HeroQuest board game, back whenever that was around. 6. The city-state of Cammerly in Thane is actually ruled by the PCs from my first 3e campaign, and the building of the city was done in-game. In addition, almost all PCs since then have "retired" to the backstory. So how about it? Any fun stories of old PCs immortalized in-game or just fun references? [/QUOTE]
