Believe it or not, one of the most difficult tasks you face as Dungeon Master is dreaming up cool names for all those places, gods, monsters, and NPCs you create. As superficial as this chore might seem, nothing kills interest in an AD&D® game faster than goofy names. The minute your players are attacked by Gargathrank the Unclean, a great deal of the credibility you've carefully fostered flies straight out the window. Don't forget that the players' first impressions of your game world are based, in part, on the names you choose.
—Ray Winninger, "Dungeoncraft", Dragon Magazine (May 1999)

—Robert Gustavsson, as the Homofobic Herman Ers majestät, in one of his scetches.
|
Geddit? Know me - I'm alone! Genius!
—The Nostalgia Chick on Nomi Malone and dripping with sarcasm.
|
When a reader reads that Armand de Bois-Tracy met Nob, he or she will have no problem with distinguishing which one is a viscount and which one is a miller.
