Date: 2005-01-05 11:55 am (UTC)However, if you think that's bad, it gets worse. A buddy of mine tells me about how the books go downhill as time goes on. Not just any hill mind you, but like... 'Xanth' downhill.

Date: 2005-01-05 02:49 pm (UTC)*snicker* I think they're pretty silly names, but then, Onissarle and I have a habit of giving our player characters in the same game nicknames too... I mean, what better name for a dwarf that can do a spinning, jumping axe attack than 'Twinkletoes' ... and if you've got a necromancer who uses ranged attacks that just happen to get intercepted by the other player character if he wanders in front of them then 'Backstab' is a pretty apt moniker.

Or maybe, sort of like how I decided on my email address, the names he really wanted were all things like Stormbringer or Heartseeker or Graywand, and after a while finding that they were taken, he picked the first thing that sounded cool without thinking too hard about it?
