Something to do with my younger days, a couple of bottles of whiskey and a few cops...

Having a huge "Empire" Army I can tell you that Sigmar is their god. Karl Franz (who's pic I'd like to post but don't know how) weilds the Hammer of Sigmar when he goes to battle. I like the name myself [img]smile.gif[/img]

I've always liked the mystery of pyramids, and ziggurats are the oldest kind. I like the idea of a spiral ascension to enlightenment, too. No direct path.

Ziggurat is the the title song and name of my first music CD (1996). It's a heavy prog-rock song about sending soldiers in to "quiet the locals" to accept iron rule. It was written at the time Bosnia was happening. Didn't know how appropriate it would be for today's war in Iraq. At the end, the gods were not there at the holy ziggurat for the returning soldier. I kinda like the name Zig as well for short. (The cartoon character seems existential and underdog, but that wasn't an inspiration for taking the name.) The great ziggurat in Iraq is cool. I'm glad we didn't blow it up.

Umm I dont know how i made mine up it standeds for Gamercore.. But the person that did my signature left out the R.. But nothing else really.

Well I figured that the name Shadow would probably already be taken so I just stuck hound on the end. Have been using it since.

Hi Variol

Mine is from the Robert E Howard books of King Krull, it's not from the movie!

I do use King Krull on other Forums, eg VN Boards.

Illumina Drathiran'ar is my oldest and most beloved character to roleplay with and to write about. I pieced the name together myself... Drathiran'ar, roughly translated, means "moon dancer".

My name... well... its quite a story... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Its my real name... the end... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

..most recent character in what Raumiel?

Cost: 7 gp Weight: 15 lbs size-L Type P/B Speed Factor 9 Dam: S-M 2d4 L 1d6

- AD&D Arms and Equipment Guide for 2nd Edition


Can you believe it has only as much damage as a broadsword? Even less for large creatures? *grumbles* [/QB][/QUOTE]

I bet it has a huge knock-down though. D10 or even D12 maybe. That's why I gave my 2nd ed Warrior Priest a Maul this time. KD is not considered often enough when choosing a weapon, I find.

Wow, I've never heard that word before and my dad and I talk about Pyramids and the like all the time. I really thought it was made up. I'll have to do a bit o' research now!

My name originates from a..erm... blunderbuss. But the blunderbuss comes from the Tolkien book 'Farmer Giles of Ham'. An excelllent book by anyones' standards.

Hey, btw, Krull is also the name of a well-known german mathmatician, look at http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~his...ans/Krull.html if you like ;)

Now, my name comes from the fabulous novel "The Dragonbone Chair" by Tad Williams. If you don't know it, read it! The most evil human in that story is Pryrates, and though I don't like evil characters (nobody does, of course ;) ), I like the name. I like it even better without the first "r". I use it in almost all forums, especially when they're about games.

Cheers
Philipp

So nice to see all your cool names. Me, I just came here lurking for answers 'til I got carried away and peeked in General Discussion.

As I've said in every other forum name topic, my username means nothing but 'worm' in my language. The shame! [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

..most recent character in what Raumiel? </font>[/QUOTE]D&D. I have a ton of D&D character sheets lying around, and lately I have been looking into the Planar races, thanks to playing Planescape: Torment. (though if I keep up playing, I might end up making a githzerai. *grins*)

I didn't pick my name, it was given to me at birth. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I quite like some evil characters (shock shock my D&D characters are usually evil), try reading Well Of Darkness by Margaret Wies and Tracy Hickman. Its a good book that is written from the villian's point of view.
I will have to have a look at this Dragonbone Chair book of yours [img]tongue.gif[/img]

In our DnD campaign everybody has to be good. And i like it much better. I fact I wouldn't play if it were any other way. I hear that evil parties are too easy. When you're good, you just can't go around killing everything.

Well, it really doesn't matter any other way, you really don't have a choice but to be good because the game isn't designed to benefit an evil party.

I have played only good characters for years. I don't think I can play evil, to be honest.

There is a lot more to evil than just killing, though. I think the kind of evil that goes around killing everything is rather cliché, to be honest. There's more than one way to be evil. (like manipulating and using people) But the farthest I have gone is Neutral.

Yes some people do call me Binky. Not quite sure which Binky that it came from. I'm hoping it was death's Horse. He's called Binky also..

Clans? Hm? Bah! The ORT was the only one which could ever Rival HADB. Getting it going again wouldn't be worth it to be honest. The Order Of Royal Toads was just a satire of other clans, so kickstarting again, would be fairly silly, if there were no other clans to Mock [img]tongue.gif[/img] We managed to get up to about 30 full threads though of non-sensical nonsense. Not many people can say that. We were the last to die off as well.

We were strong. We still are strong, and Memnoch STILL HASN'T DANCED!

Yeah, I lurked there on occasion to see what Galadria was up to. Pretty funny stuff. Aelia was priceless.

Gollum knighted himself and forgot how to spell his name. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Knock-down? Did I miss out on a rule? Not sure I've heard of this - a supplement? Lucern hammers would be a great pole-arm to equip your armies with if Vecna or some such undead horde is coming though! *Smashes skeleton to pieces at 10 feet* "Stay dead next time!!" ;)

Everything has Knock-down dude! Many are just D6, only good for goblins and the like. D8 will knock a man size target down and D10 (like my Maul) will knock down Half-Ogres and the like. It think 1 or 2 may even go up to D12.
Sorry, I tried to find some examples to paste but couldn't. Maybe someone could do that for me?

Damn right, evil characters are not given enough respect. Its not all about the killing (although the occasional drunken slaughter can be fun). Its about finding alternative ways of solving a problem.

Say that you needed some cash for equipment, while a Lawful Good paladin may have to go out questing to raise the money an Neutral Evil Assassin could decide to rob an ageing lady of all her valueables. Have a problem with a certain official? Make a financial agreement with them (*cough* bribe *cough*) or you could always hire someone to remove them while you have a solid alibi.

Sure its not a common RP activity for characters to be evil but it is definatly an interesting experience that should be tried at least once.

It's my name.

I got my forum name the easy way I stole it from Star Wars. From what I have read in Star Wars books it starts out like this for the jedi: jedi squire,jedi knight, jedi master. What I would like to know is where did the mods get there forum names? And who has the forum name CHOC?

Ziroc's cat Choc [img]tongue.gif[/img]

For my name dp is my initials and lax was just three random characters. I had to make up the name when I wanted to play a game online for the first time, 7 years ago.

You, my good sir, are the reason I didn't choose 'Tom' as my Forum name. On other forums i'm just known as that.

<font color=FF00FF> Thanks dplax, now I know. Simple, but still a good name [img]smile.gif[/img]
</font>

Same here just back to front with the "General" added for good measure.

I got name from one of the bosses of BG 1, that I really thought was awesome. Obviously I mispelled the name. It is supposed to be Slythe.

Having a huge "Empire" Army I can tell you that Sigmar is their god. Karl Franz (who's pic I'd like to post but don't know how) weilds the Hammer of Sigmar when he goes to battle. I like the name myself [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]That's the Army. Empire, the power-armourless Space Marines :D

Funny thing is, I never played as Empire myself, I'm a stalwart Dwarf player (I swear by the Stunties I do) but all the good Dwarf names were taken, hence the closest thing to a dwarf, ol' Sigmar. Not too funny actually, never mind. :D

Thank ye.

armageddon272 was what i used for my first email address. i still use that one, i wanted to use armageddon, cus people said i caused trouble, but armageddon was taken. i tried armageddon727 cause i like those planes, but that was taken too. so i inverted 727 to get 272. so armageddon272 was born. now i try to use that for as many of my names as possible to avoid confusion.

Oh Sigmar, I'm still laughing! I think I'm gonna bust a gutt! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Morgawr - I stole the name from a terry brooks trilogy it's a type of nasty witchy character.
Not that interesting when i think about it.

My forum name is a wrong translation.
I'm german. My last name is Baer (bear), and my first name starts with 'Wer', so i though i'd translate it like Werwolf -> Werewolf. So it should have been Werbaer -> Werebear. But my translation mistake made it Wereboar instead.
