[QUOTE="Ringlerun, post: 5548333, member: 6668496"] Modern names in a fantasy setting would be a deal breaker for me. I have always found that names are one of the most important aspects of any game. Mainly to help with the suspension of disbelief and to help players immerse themselves into the game. I for one would not be able to take a fantasy setting with modern names serous as i would not be able to enjoy a game of Cthulhu with a player who calls his character Gutboy Barrelhouse. For a silly one off game it would be ok but not for anything longer than that. My pet peeve in any game or novel is stupid names that dont suit the game world. With the novel that you are reading by Alex Bledsoe. As soon as a read the blurb and saw the names i would have thrown the book away. I did this with David Eddings because there was no way i could read a book no matter how good with the main character called Sparhawk. To cut this rant short i will summerise. For me names are important and yes they can be a deal breaker for a game. [/QUOTE]
