What's your screenname mean?

[Brain]

A nickname based on my real name

 

[Greenstone]

Greenstone

Greenstone is the fairy-tale like fantasy island I create for my kids' first foray into role-playing (starts this year).

It's a combination of my own surname, Green, and that of a friend of mine, Stone, who helped me create the simple boardgame that serves as an intro to the Greenstone campaign. (Think TSR's "Dungeon" and how that tied in with D&D).

The wizard I chose for my pic is the island's Gandalf/Elminster-type NPC, and is called Caen (pronounced like Cain). His name is a contraction of my own name, CArl greEN). All of the art used in Greenstone is Elmore's - it just conveys the fairy-tale, slightly "cute" mood so well.

Greenstone

Oh, and we decided that the isle was named Greenstone after the huge, moss-covered rock where Dwarves, Elves and Men signed the pact that lead to the defeat of the Witch-Queen... .

 

[skippy_the_witch]

Most of my friends know me as skippy than know me as Robert. The original reason for it was the fact that everybody knows somebody named Robert (I have a whole rant I once wrote about Robert-Americans and how we are large enough minority to demand special treatment, if we would only vote as a block), so, using the old joke about the evil twin, I became "skippy Rob".

As a dealer at cons, I found that people could remember not only me, but also the name skippy Rob, and it made for a great introductions: "Hi, I'm skippy Rob. I am my own evil twin...saves on clothing costs." If I got a giggle or a smile from this bit of sillieness, I usually made a sale also.

In my SCA household, there was another Robert, who became the Good Twin, and I mostly dropped the Rob, becoming skippy the Evil Twin. To further distinguish myself from any other Skippys (such as a TV character), I dropped the cap 'S', joking that I couldn't afford the Capital Gains taxes.

Since I am pagan, proud of this fact, and very much out of the broom closet, when I first got an email address, I realized that skippy_the_witch was easy to remember for both me and others. Thus, my screen name.

[MonsterMash]

Its the title of Star Wars Episode VII - oh all right then, its from the song, but it does fit D&D as you can mash the monsters and take their stuff.

 

[JIMBOTHEBLACK]

Jimbo is my name, and "THE BLACK" is a title , like Conan the barbarian.Probably because I like to dress in black, and because I like Macabre art style like Brom and Larry Macdougle.

 

[JIMBOTHEBLACK]

Since I am pagan, proud of this fact, and very much out of the broom closet,

Be proud my goddess worshipping brother,you're not alone.

 

[Krieg]

There are three of us. We are from Halifax, NS, Canada. People from Halifax are called Haligonians, don't ask me why it isn't Halifaxians, I think we just wanted to be different! We all share one computer as R and T are sisters and J is T's boyfriend...is that complicated or what? Basically we just sign depending on who is around and contributing to the post.

And our avatar is the label of a popular local beer. Its either a moosehead dancing arround on six tiny little feet or something to do with sails, no one is really sure!


T from Three Haligonians

For some reason that just made me think of Battle Beyond the Stars.

We are Nestor.

 

[mythusmage]

Official (paid) rules lawyer for the Mythus fantasy RPG. Sort of the mage of Mythus. Thus, Mythusmage.

BTW, it is one word.

The "Demiurge of Califia" is a play on a Mythus fan who would describe himself as the "Demiurge of Vargaard" (our North America).
