Message: <blockquote data-quote="babomb" data-source="post: 1314739" data-attributes="member: 1316">Not many puns, but several players in my old group used names of real people or fictional characters. One player put two bullies named Charlton and Heston in his background (because I wouldn't let him name his character Charlton Heston). Another named an NPC Carry Fisher (Princess Leia). I gave her the Leia hairdo and had her yell "Help me, Obi-Wan! You're my only hope!" at one point. Another campaign included a player's dad and Latoya Jackson as NPCs.There was also a thief in one campaign I played in named Lupin, and the player wanted to make his next two characters Lupin II and Lupin III. Another player made a psion fashioned after Prince Poo from the videogame Earthbound. A bard was named Rad. There was also a character named Aeron Bending, but he pronounced it "Iron Bending", and gave a different alias in every town. I think he was from the town of Jamaica. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> There were a couple of unintentionally funny names, both by the same player. One was named He-Shang Shadowlord, which wouldn't have been so bad except that he was a cleric of Heironious. For some reason, we had trouble remembering his name, so he changed it to Bill-Shang, after which point we called him He-Shang most of he time anyway. A different character was named Karak Killan, but when he said it sounded like "Carrot Killin'", and we laughed so hard that he had to change it.</blockquote>
