What's your screen name from?

[Treebore]

Does one of the forums here on ENWorld allow us to post character hostories? They would be great not only for NPC's, but campaign story arc inspiration.

 

[Primitive Screwhead]

My SN has an interesting past

It originated with Ash's famous line in Army of Darkness, then got used on the DM's guidebook for CP2020...

So, when I joined up on a CP2020 board this was a name that would identify me as the wack... I mean normal person that I am.

Folks an that board led me to Monte's boards, and I figured it would be better to stick to one nom de guerre... .. and thence from Monte's board to this one.

I has thoughts about changing to something less...umm... pointed, but then I realized that if anyone had issues with the tone of my posts, all they need to do it look at the SN to get back in focus.

 

[Phaedrus]

You might think it's from the Platonic dialog, but you'd be wrong. I am a big fan of Socrates and Plato, but it actually comes from the alter ego in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

I really liked the book, and think the name sounds cool.

 

[Nellisir]

This thread again?

My name is a play on my real name - Nathan Ellis Irving. N.ellis.ir

And I actually prefer Nell to Nate or Nat.

 

[AdmundfortGeographer]

I voted "something totally different". Because, you know, like, basically... it is my name.

I did have a handle that I identified myself with back in the early BBS era, but I started feeling more and more odd over time using it.

 

[Hussar]

The name of my regiment wayyyyy wayy back. Besides, heavy cavalry is just too bloody long.

 

[Harmon]

One of my favorite characters- Alran Foreguard, Wizard and member of the Arcane Order has a familar by the name of Harmon. Originally a weasel, he died, then came back as a P Dragon. Alran's best friend, and companion whom always gets the best part of the rations, and the pillow of Alran's bedroll.

 

[Fat Daddy]

Mine is a nickname...It's fun and descriptive!
Edited to add: Not to mention accurate! When my 2nd child is born in December, I'll have to change it. Maybe Fatter Daddy or Fat Daddier?

 

[blargney the second]

Mine is a nickname...It's fun and descriptive!

It's also the name of a great swing song by Dinah Washington.

Pazuzu's nickname in The Exorcist.
