Vecna's Revenge

Actually, Ragnor is the name of a powerful Ogrillon from R.A.Salvatore's "Cleric Quintet"
Thokk is the name of a half-orc warrior around which the last 4 Heroe's Gambit D&D Tournament's have been based.
I've played this character (and variations) as 'Ragnor" for a few years, and since we got first place at the tournament this year (And second place the year before), I added THOKK as his last name to commemorate the accomplishment.

But yeah, come to think of it, that DOES sound a little like Ragnarok... whoops..

I did something similar a while ago with a Warlock, I named him Michael b/c it sounded cool.

Then i needed a last name... At the time I had just finished playing V:TM, and Caine sounded like it'd mix good as a Warlock.
SO, I ended up with Michael Caine. Took me a little while to realize why it sounded so familiar.

And lets not even go near my teenage wizard named Harrold, who made Pots. ;) j/k.

ALso, those of you who've seen DBZ should get this one: A while ago a friend of mine made a character named Kai Sarutobi. Perfectly cool, japanese swordman name, right?
Yeah, until he became a king a year later, and the country tended to use the first name of their royalty, rather than the last. Hence, King Kai.

Also, same campaign the DM had a female antagonist vampire named "Clarise". He didn't get why we all burst into laughter whenever our wizard said "Hello" to her.

What, you don't get it? Hannibal Lector? "Hello, Clarise" (Creepy voice)?[/sblock]

Very funny stuff. I love your end saying, "Of course I'm paranoid! Everyone is trying to kill me!" Anyway, It's even funnier that you didn't notice the ragnarok reference. Still, it IS a cool name. And our characters obviously know nothing about the Norse "Death of the Gods."

I just wanted to point it out. However, Now I WANT to make a female knight named Exca Lybor.

LOL
 



Does anyone have the Greyhawk calendar or know where I can find it on line? If not I will use our real life calendar to track time. I don't have the Gazetteer anymore and I know it is there. I am working on getting it. (Eydis hurry up and send it) It shouldn't matter too much I just want to be able to track the passage of time.

http://www.nirgal.com/games/rpg/greyhawk/calendar == That one is really consise. The only problem is it says the word, "Startday" instead of "Starday" which is the correct day.

http://www.modeemi.cs.tut.fi/~fey/DD3/calendar_GH.html == This one is more in Calendar form.

http://www.highprogrammer.com/alan/gaming/dnd/greyhawk/calender.html == That one displays the entire year in a VERY small format, and explains what the days of the week are. (Even if you don't use this one, check it out. Very helpful to get a good overview.)

There, check out all three, I would recommend. I think they're very helpful.

They also talk about the holidays and describe them in various detail along with the moon cycles.

I am going to have to withdraw from consideration. While this looks like a lot of fun, I just have too much on my plate right now, plus Jerrod would be a better candidate coming from Gerbo than mine would be. So have fun all!
 

thanks and sorry to hear that. i hope that the rest of your games go well, ethandrew.

Mellubb, Do you want me to submit my full character on here or are you going to put up a rogue's gallery? I will actually have some time during the week to get it done, but not on the weekend, if you catch my hint. :P
