Okay, so, apparently TRF wants to lose the old thread until such time as Dibs sees fit to return. So, as per his request, I have made a new thread. I, of course, don't see exactly why this is necessary, but I suppose it won't hurt anything to accommodate Turf. So, I guess this will just be a continuation of the prior thread with the old characters and we'll pick up where Dibs left off. I suggested that Noob DM this one, but being that he doesn't have any of the source material beyond what's on the internet, he declined. That being the case, if there are no objections, I guess I will be DMing this one. I won't have access to my books myself for another week or two, so if it's okay, I guess I'll be using a homemade campaign. And as far as the campaign goes, expect to see a lot of stuff that's not exactly D&D canon, because, as I said, I don't have my sourcebooks right now. Unless, of course, someone else wants to DM, in which case, I'd be more than happy to step aside. Unfortunately, I do not think that this game will be accepting any more players. This thread is here for the sole purpose of reducing clutter in the other. It will actually be a lot easier - it was getting to be a pain, navigating that other one with all the pages it had(we were almost at 4,000!). To start off, I'm going to request that we all post our sheets(I'll track mine down later) and if there is anyone who would like to DM or has any requests to that effect or which concern the next campaign, speak now or forever hold your peace. Cheers.
If you look back over that Disambiguation page I linked, you will see that over half of the are before the 1900s..... Some are from the 1700s..... that is just a few that became famous..... it is a much older name than Grundath Starskin.....
I don't mean the age of the name or its modern day merits, it just sounds funny next to all the others. It's like having a party with these names... Jonathan Price, Jr. Bob the Fighter Aldorius Killraven of Thistledown Grunt the Runt
I do believe that Bob and Grunt are legally retarded..... I try to keep my names fitting to Race. Elves and all get names like Ottihand and Xyrthanna, humans get Elizabethan names and gnomes get this:
Norbert Jonathan Filbert Dilbert Xztchznivct Xanadu Jonathan Ezechial James Rapiliel Doggie Doggie Junior Zoom Chilzascheck Johnnyboy Bookreader Calvin Wobbly Stubs Jonathan Michael Mike Mickey Mic Mack Mice Mouse Moose Goose Duck Cluck Chicken Yellow Mellow Mountain Dew Me Jonathan Squirrel Shorty Jonathan Something Jonathan Jonathan This Took Me Half An Hour Jonathan
No they don't. In fact, humans have the most diverse names of any race and this ****ING TRACKPAD IS DRIVING ME UP A ****ING WALL. But seriously, there's a list of sample names with each race in the PH, and none of them are Elizabethean.
Sorry Loco, but it's not my fault. You two need to deliver a verdict already. Do your characters already know each other and can we move on, or not?
Really? You think that 500 year old names are modern? ****ing idiots, man...
500 year old names THAT ARE STILL IN USE TODAY.
I'm going to take a quick shower and I'll be back.
Meh, I think I'm done for the day. Or at least for the next couple hours. Seriously consider changing your character's name though, Dragon. Or Loco will officially be less of a noob than you.
Why the **** is using that name noobish? Loco just threw out some random *** jumble of letters that just happened to have Grun in it; I came up with a respectable name that's been used for over 500 years. Why should I be considered to be more of a noob that he? How about Wilhelm?

OK, would you name a character in the Sperrgerat "Gandalf the Grey"?
What would be a good deity for a good-aligned Drow? all the Greyhawk drow deities are evil.
As far as that goes, it depends more on what he values than on his race. Find a god whose ideology matches the character's personal ideals and principles.
No because the Sperrgerat was in a clearly defined era and my character came from a well known region, so I named him accordingly. D&D is most equatable to Dark Age Europe, so I name human characters in that fashion.

Nu, early Medieval.

I opened up the list of Greyhawk deities and I almost shed a tear at the length....
I have the basic information and the equipment and appearance stuff down, s'ose I could be down for CI.
