[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5698220, member: 92511"] I would say the same for my own campaign world. I would venture, and forgive if I'm wrong, that the original Slavers campaign was not played in either of our settings. ;) That aside, I make no apologies for the characters' names in those original modules. I've noticed (how can one [I]not![/I]) since beginning this little drawing "Party of the Week" project of my own...that MOST of the AD&D pre-gen character names are just..[I][B].atrocious! [/B][/I]No harm nor insult intended to the wonderful grandfathers of the genre who participated in the marvelous opening modules as D&D was first getting its proverbial legs...but, "Gleep Werp" and "Snerd" from the GDQ series come to mind...come onnnnn! Granted, they aren't in my campaign world. so obviously the naming conventions don't apply..but still...c'monnnnn! Really?! "Gleep Werp"?...Did the player just snarf and say, "Ok, that's his name"? Still...can't argue with the classics. Elwita. So it is written. So it shall be...forever on, in infamy. :) --Sd [/QUOTE]
