LOL, I read somewhere that Alibris got many requests for it every year. There is a book by that name, but it is a coffee-table book by the Swiss artist M.C. Geiger, full of erotic macabre drawings.

[Jorath Calar]

Jorath Calar is a Chaotic good Ranger, I made for AD&d back in 1994. He was one of the protectors of Lady Natalia, a elven Sorcerer princess from Tethyr... Yep we had our fun... [img]smile.gif[/img]
Then I used it when I started playing Baldur Gate 1... and played him trough the whole epic.

I first made the nick Row Firecam when I first came here... didn't like it so I registered again as my old hero...

It might be a stupid name but I like it.. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Love handles? I don't have any, but I'm guessing Johnny got his from too much booze [img]tongue.gif[/img]

On a more serious note, just wander into Gaelen Bayle's abode, climb the stairs to the second floor, and you will have your answer. I like the name because it just seems to flow, and I decided I had to have a rogueish name, because I am a bit of a sneaky git in reality. I also love to play thieves in most types of RPGs.

LOL, it is very rare. Alibris doesn't even list it. I saw it in a bookstore in Dallas in the mid-80s for about $100.

[Triconan]

I got mine cause the two names I use for Bg1 and 2 are Shazten Daxtren and Triconan. And I figured that tricanan sounded good and presto.

[Downunda]

I dunno, can't remember.
