Henry, sorry about the width issue! I just wanted to post it.

Secondly, James I'm stoked for Pathfinder, even if the names aren't like awesome. The stuff that should be in it will be I'm sure.

Nightfall, in the future if there is a very wide photo you want to share use this code:

{limg} link {/limg}

And of course substitute [ for { and } for ]

We also have a "Truth or Consequences", which has always made me wonder what they were thinking.

I knew that this town was named after a game show (one hosted by Bob Barker for a number of years). I checked Wikipedia and here's the full story:

Originally called "Hot Springs", it took the name of a popular radio program in 1950, when Truth or Consequences host Ralph Edwards announced that he would do the program from the first town that renamed itself after the show. Ralph Edwards came to the town during the first weekend of May for the next fifty years. This event was called the "Fiesta" and included a beauty contest, parade, and a stage show.

I guess I'm the only one who sees "Linnorm Kings" and gets all quivery inside. (Especially since linnorms aren't SRD, so we'll be seeing some new interpretation.)

Actually, that's what made me go "oooOOooooOOOooo" when I saw it.

In fact, most of the states here in Australia are terribly unimaginative...

The states are dull, but the towns are priceless: Queanbeyan, Tuggeranong, Nimbin, Wagga Wagga, Poowong, Toowoomba, Nanango, Indooroopilly, and, of course, Zarnia, Zanthus, Zara, and Zeehan, all of which sound like lich-infested castles.

Fru,

I'll keep that in mind for future reference.

In the mean time, FORWARD Pathfinder!

My thoughts exactly. Bissel and Geoff are comparable to the Australian states Tasmania and Victoria. In fact, most of the states here in Australia are terribly unimaginative: Western Australia, South Australia and ... wait for it ... Northern Territory (not really a state but anyway ...). And I live in Queensland which I'm sure many would laugh at if they saw it on a fantasy map ("Queensland?", so where's "Kingsland" and "Prince ... errr ... land?" Oh, ho ho!)

Also, tell me more about these mountains named after boobies ...

Yes, surprisingly enough, the Northern Territory is not a State but a Territory!

Even New South Wales is entirely unimaginitive (have a guess what it was named after, you'll never get it) Tasmania is about the closest we get to a differently named State in Australia. And even then it was named after the explorer Abel Tasman, the first Eurpean to spot it.

Having said that, I'm sure Australia isn't alone in this sort of thing.

I like the pretty map (ignoring silly name conversation)

I like it, James.

However, anyone who says they're used to "Geoff" is fooling themselves.

Me, I'm more bugged by the "Gnarly Woods". Do they lead to the "Totally Tubular Hills"?

I guess I'm the only one who sees "Linnorm Kings" and gets all quivery inside. (Especially since linnorms aren't SRD, so we'll be seeing some new interpretation.)

No, no you're not. Especially since I hate the MMII linnorm-interpretation with a heat that burns with the fires of a thousand suns (not because of the flavor, but just because the developers didn't know how to design high CR monsters).

Demiurge out.
