The post i made about iaido with the historical bit, I only sutmbled upon.

One thing I do alot is take a name or word and look it up and play with it.

honestly: I havn't heard of Iai(do) before today. Before posting that I tohught google the last name see if it even shows up under DM.
and thus began my search for historical names\words etc.

Iaido = 15th centary Japanese Martial Arts sword style.
Chiburi = shaking the blood from the sword

Chanisihayah = Chani From the Dune books.

alexander? = nuff said
nabi = prophet islam\hebrew

more later

There is a huge post about this somewhere in the Dm section i think - things like vorpal blade = jabberwocky, etc

There you go - sorry, someone beat you to the iaido revelation a while ago : )

wow cool i'll try finding aobut CSB and DM2 then since it seems DM is just aobut covered.
figured someone knew it very surprised by how much is known.

so i guess the programmers liked that stuff.

I guess so! If *someone* hadn't distracted *someone else* then that *someone else* might be producing a website with facts about the programmers rather than messing about with dungeons in a newly polished clone engine : )

Yeah, you know who you are!

The sad thing is that would have been a superior line
