Hingle McCringleberry may well appear in my own game now.<br /><br />Because I solo game a lot, and NPCs can appear rather unexpectedly, I tend to randomly roll names rather than impede the flow of my game while trying to decide if a name is "appropriate". In fact, the name helps me define the character, rather than the other way around.<br /><br />For the PCs, well, they die at an alarming rate so I'm getting close just numbering them.John Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16465161620134394060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935484436602082601.post-43765905235591101552013-01-16T06:37:52.629-05:002013-01-16T06:37:52.629-05:00I'm with you, Erik: names are really important...I'm with you, Erik: names are really important.

My favourite named PC was my halfling wizard, Porthus Waddle, cook extraordinaire. He'd fit right into the Wampus Country.
