Unless it was my randomness, in which case I can only apoligise for the smell and grant you a fifty yard freehold

Pity it doesn't fit, but Rameses Niblick the Third would be a cracking name!

Erik Bauer is the name of my favourite pen&paper RPG character.
He is (to make it shorty short) a Witch Hunter/Knight devoted to Solkan, the Unforgiving god of Cleansing, Punishment and Divine Retribution.
The RPG I've played him in is WFRP (Warhammer Fantasy Role Play).

Trego is my camp counselor name, a summer camp in the USA. The returning counselors got to name the new counselors, and they of course had their own obscure way of trying to come up with your name. Mine came about due to mentioning that I could teach the campers maths (being a qualified teacher at the time), so from maths they got trigonometry, which got shortened to trigo and spelt TREGO so I wouldn't be called Tri-go. So of course the following year returning to camp I helped name some of the next counselors...Swatch, Xade, Select, Rogue, etc
It's not a bug in the program, I've just gone and done something weird.

Just noticed this thread. There were so many 'points of interest' on this tour de thread that I read each and every comment.

I didn't know there was a Beowuuf on this forum, so I used my favorite DM character for my ID.

Soon afterward, someone (may have been Beo) informed me that my DM hero is a 'girlie-princess.'
The confusing fact that the DM version of Wuuf is a cross-dresser, since she's wearing a leather jerkin in the picture,
(still glad they didn't put a HALTER on Wuuf :shock: )
was greatly helped by 'good ole' Beowuuf telling me he wrote a story with Wuuf the Bika being a male.
(I don't think fantasy characters mind)

Glad to be here

Unfortunately not, but that would be pretty funny if he was and I didn't know :)

Ok, I'm not. Joramun (not with a 'd') is a mythical hero in the magnificent books "A Game Of Thrones" and sequels, by George RR Martin.

It also begins like my first name.

MW - I'd be rather worried if Wuuf did have a halter (I always saw him as male, btw), since surely a canine creature, despite being anthropomorphic, should still have six...erm...mammary glands?

Almost enough to make a gentle fellow, like me, hack up a hairball. :mrgreen:
