[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 503688, member: 3887"] I like to imagine my games to be voyages of discovery in far off wonderous lands, where just learning about the world is a majority of the fun --so I really don't like names that disrupt the 'fictive dream' I'm spinning for the PC's. And I love when they begin naming characters along the lines of my cultural naming conventions... However, sometimes you just have to lighten up... From a game I ran: Sylvan Shwartz the human wizard who spoke uncannily like Woody Allen and who was always being mistaken for half-elven {"Not even on your mother's side? That would make you elven, I think" "What is with you? I told you I'm not elvish. You've got a complex, you know that...."} From games I played: Torquemada Scarletwind the dwarven Inquisitor S'sa'dab, the dwarven fighter that my 6'6'' friend Derek played... The Ranger with No Name Faran Selenius Heit, eventual Lord of Castle Bakewell and County Bakewell {famous for their many kinds of tart...} I sure I can think of more later... [/QUOTE]
