I started using it with my T-shirt company a few years ago. Being a small businessman, I needed a title that covered all my titles. I was the CEO, the CFO, the COO and every other corporate title that existed for that company. Of course, today, I run 2 businesses, and am about to start a 3rd. So my busiess cards could have a huge paragraph of titles on them. Rather than have all those titles listed on my business cards, I deceided to appoint myself the rare corporate title of "Bad Mother :) u:eek: k:cool: r."

Is that not just the coolest setting? There are so many adventure ideas throughout the text that a DM is overwhelmed with options!

Pity I can never get anyone interested enough to play this :(
 

The origin of my user name should be obvious. Yes, I know that both Cthulu and Ftaghn are misspelled. The first time I tried to use it as a login for something many years ago, the proper spelling was already taken. So I shifted the "h" in both words and, ever since, I've been cthuluftaghn.
 

Meridian comes from an old AD&D character I had by the name of Meridian Flint (a cambion anti-paladin: a half-fiend human blackguard/fallen paladin for 3rd editioners).

The origin of the character was pseudo-Biblical, so the name I chose kind of reflected that. There was a phrase I latched onto: "the pestilence that walks at noonday." Meridian is the archaic term for "noon." Flint came from perverting the symbolism of Peter as the rock of the Church; being a fallen paladin, Meridian had been a rock of the Church but had splintered and cracked under the weight of his responsibilities. Flint is a brittle rock, and is best known for use in creating fires...and as a tool of the High Lord of the Nine Hells, he was certainly used to start a holocaust on his home plane.

Meridian Flint. :)
