_______ the _____ is overused trope

Arg.

Strictly speaking, this is not /tg/.
I wish I had a pic of this lovely creation, but at the time I was equally embarrassed and ashamed to have done it.
I created a bulbous Mon Calamari with soft pink colored skin with blue, veins of mottling and named him: Scrotal Testicus.
The visual kind of sold it.

Indeed it was my Best/Worst Character Name

>>52374086

>>52374050
I actually know a guy named Aryan.

He's Persian though and it's pronounced Arri-yahn

the Night Wight, formerly known as White Knight

No one can beat Jeremiah motherfucking Kingfisher, the fey corgi with a british accent and a disdain for unopened/broken bottles

Shame he died in something like the third session. He'd earned the title "motherfucking" by that point, and he's remembered fondly.

>>52374394

I used to work with a this 5'0" blonde haired blue eyed girl who was actually named Arian. Sweet girl, her parents had no idea.

>>52374050
>Baron Big Unit
>Balthazar the Tuneful
>Knight
>Baruurak
>Drayeloth the Indifferent

>>52374050

Melf

Rate my naming sense. These are most of my played characters so far:

>Tarin In-Exile, elf thief
>Pharoth, human necromancer that defected from a tyrannical mage empire
>Arael Talassen, half-elf enchanter
>Mrogar Silverstream, dwarven cleric
>Cailean Dellarn, human ranger and minor noble
>Aurefin Ricantar, elf witch(er) and seer
>Eleonora, human druid

One of my players is the guy who names all his characters after whatever catches his attention on the character sheet (Usually race/class) and jus flips them.
"Emong Cirelc" the Gnome Cleric.

>>52374611
conventionally made-up fantasy names. entirely acceptable, i approve.

>>52374394
Yeah you know, the normal way to pronounce words is the letters they're written with, except for Anglophones and the French.

>>52374622

>Fag Vented Whirr
Gnome Mage
>Engage Mom

>>52374853
Human Cleric
>Malice Churn

Fucking metal.

>be named Eric
>make a Cleric
>name him Eric also

all from the same player
>Hagrid, the child snatcher
>Tesco Lasagna (character was a talking horse)
>Guard
>Cave
>Citizen Bob
>Franku
>*named after his high school geography teacher*
>Rolf, son of a Shepard
>Sokka Mei-Wang
>The Wall

I once decided (against my better judgement) to teach a bunch of 13 year olds how to play D&D, their character were called
>Goku (human fighter)
>Gaben, the lord (dwarf monk)
>Death, the kid (human Barbarian)

I used to play with a guy who named all his characters as variations on the word "Dude"

>Igor Dudovsky, russian spy
>El Dude, a knight vaguely reminiscent of El Cid
>Dudolas, an archer (not an elf)

And so on and so forth.

>>52374907

Oda Tokugawa
Richard (because his character was rich)
Munroe Steiner (for a campaign set in fantasy!India)
Akage (in a game where we actually had a character named Akage, because he had red hair, but this newer character didn't have red hair)
Every other name in our fantasy!Poland campaign

God tier
Lore appropriate thematic name which fits perfectly within the setting, is consistent with a character's backstory and includes a minor, subtle pun on one or more of the character's traits/specialization that elicits a sensible chuckle upon first hearing it, yet is not distracting

High tier
Lore appropriate thematic name

Medium tier
A normal IRL 21st century (your country) name that is not the player's own name, a less subtle yet non thematic pun name

Low effort tier
using your own name or online handle as your character's name

Superlow tier
using the name of a character, or a spin on a name of a character from fantasy that is kind of related (ie Ryolas, Gregdalf, Donbledorf, ect)

Superultralow tier (I refuse to let players use names from this tier or lower)
using the name of a character from fantasy that isn't even tangentially related to the setting you're playing in and breaks immersion (ie Batman)

get the fuck out of my game tier
typical edgy teenage chuuni garbage, Japanese names in European fantasy settings

To be fair, this isn't my group, I saw the story on /tg/ a while back.

Rate my name game with the last three characters I played:

>Julian Farnsworth III - Human Gentleman Thief with more charisma than brains and more money than sense.

I'm the only one who thought it was funny but idc

My worst name was Dildo Faggins but in my defence I was 14.

>>52374895
>>Tesco Lasagna (character was a talking horse)
Inspired.

I once had a player use Garfunkle Simonson, druid extraordinaire. It didn't really fit the setting or tone, but I said fuck it and just had NPCs react incredulously from time to time.

Fig H Ter

I usually just swap the first letter of the first andnlast name of the DM. Herric Darty, Witch Minburn, Lric Eegette, and Sat Cellers are ones I've used.

>>52374050
One of the PCs I'm GMing for

>Niz
>pronounced Nize
>short for no-eyes

He's blind

Grotti Mir - dwarf barbarian, patriarch of the storied Mir clan of dwarfs.
Elan Iberius Fabool - human wild magic sorcerer- astronomer and vizier to the late sultan.
Brother Godwyk Niraj - Dwarf cleric of Arcana who had the misfortune of being on guard duty when someone torched his library and is on the shitshow quest to recover/replace the missing tomes just to get him out of the guild.

Some I've personally used:

Sir Worthington. Low fantasy, was an idiot, ugly midget. Wasn't a knight, his name was just Sir.

Nicholas Ashleigh. Space opera sci-fi campaign. Was an excellent leader and diplomat, utter shit at everything else.

Inquisitor 017. same setting as above, was a gene-splicing experiment to create powerful psionic soldiers by a broad spacefaring militaristic civilization. Was only pretty good at telepathy, not great, because he was a prototype.

My players have used:

Alias, same setting as Nicholas Ashleigh. Very powerful teleporter/telekinetic psion, was named by Ashleigh because he never hid the fact that he never used his real name.

Joe Nerrik. Same as above. Needed a generic everyman name, we came up with that. He was a master martial artist government agent. We hired him as the cook.

>>52381285
In my latest long running campaign I wound up referring to the party more by titles than by names, because I am terrible at names.

There was:

Tryndalore, better known as the Prince. Exiled prince, eventually lead an assassination attempt and coup, with army of demons.

Rabadan, The Hedge Wizard. Later the Lich. Was a hedge wizard, died in the second session to a lowest class demon, sold his soul to a middle manager imp to come back to life. Eventually learned the ritual to Lichdom, became the second lich in the entire setting, started turning everyone who wanted into psuedo-liches. Fed their souls to his master, Grinnok.

Darius, the Soldier. A battlemage turned bureaucrat, wound up sacrificing himself at a key point to allow the coup, was loyal to the Prince.

D-something. Used his name the least. The Bandit King/The Dragon. Was a normal bandit, at the very start of the campaign through single combat and sheer force of charisma took control of a bandit stronghold, converted it into a private military, kept the name of Bandit Camp. Later fused himself with a dragon via a deal with a demon king, to become the first and only half dragon in the setting.

Spider. A giant tarantula from a race of Giant Intelligent Friendly Talking Spiders. Was one of the scariest combatants, was giving a suit of special made chainmail, became indomitable tank. Spoke with a high pitched voice, thought most people were cute. Was later replaced by Spider Spiderson, Spider's daughter.

Nothing. Skilled agent, ran a spy network that eventually just became ridiculous. After most of the campaign refusing to make any deals with demons unlike the rest of the party, sold his legacy to save his wife.

It is very important to note that this was not an evil campaign. In fact, my stated goals for this campaign were for heroic adventures.

My current group has never played a tabletop RPG before, so we had a lot of pants on head retarded names over three different campaigns. The most notable ones include:

Greg Gregson, Human Druid (My own)
Sid Vicious, Human Fighter
Shia Labouf, Human Rogue
Profit Mohammad, Human Paladin (Same player as the rogue)
Honey, Human Sorcerer (The character and player didn't even last a whole session)
Alexander Jonesevich (And his twin, Aleksander Jonesvich. Same player)
Fug, Half-orc Barbarian with a 4 intelligence

Tony Iomi is my bards name.

Great character, shame the campaign dissolved an hour later cause the GM got salty, players were pretty nice. Never managed to find Samenko's phone number though.

>>52374050

Well, Ultima references can't be that common nowadays.

I made a guy in a LOTR game once, a Gondorian called Eremor. GM thought it "didn't fit". Nigga what?

In a similar thread a while ago, someone brought up Robin Graves the necromancer, which I thought was funny.

Cool. I once made a fire mage named Sally Mander.

My characters were
Fueryon, Lizardfolk Druid
Kas, Kobold Sorcerer

I'm worldbuilding now for my campaign and I'm going to have Ezra (Azrael) be the sheparf of the Shadowfell and Frey (Freyr) be the lord of the Feylands

One of my players had a mute called Toxa. She swore allegiance to a noble family with the surname Lott, and got permission to take the on family name after a while. When I first said her new name I asked the fucker "Did you do all that just to have the irony of a mute with a name pronounced as 'talks a lot'?"

He did, the fucking asshole

>rp on play-by-post roleplay site (i know)

Besides those, the worst character name was probably "Ing" the Imperial Guardsman. Pic related was his character portrait.

>>52386698
That's awesome.

Leah Tuls the cleric.

Rian Barber the barbarian.

Wolf Wizzenheim the wizard.

The worst name I've ever encountered was a friend's druid fox girl that was literally just named Ahri. This guy played pretty much nothing but League and he kept trying insist that the characters were nothing alike the only real difference was that his character was a bit more "innocent and curious" than the LoL one, but it was still cringy as fuck.

In Eberron, a changeling named Ai. Pronounced "aye".
Entirely fits the bill of changeling names- simple one syllable sound. Entirely obnoxious as the table gets confused or derailed along the lines of "Ai did this" or "Ai got the thing"

Yakub, Foremost of the Melanated

Does anime freak anyone else out? Like really send a blinding plastic shiver down your oiled spine?

Mon Jena - goliath monk who used an enchanted chair as a weapon

One that I remember from a short-lived campaign I was in

GM: "...and your character's name is..?"
J: "My character's name is Pending"
GM: "look, I need you to decide on a name before you start playing."
J: "No, you don't get it. That was my character's name."
GM: "Wait, what?"
J: "Pending"
GM: "..."
GM: "Goddamnit, Jeff"

Last 3 were
>Errol Staine, an Apocolypse Oracle in High Fantasy setting.
>Doyle de Bois, French Chef Alchemist who was the ship cook in a sky pirate campaign.
>Norm Al, the alias of a Changeling Investigator who tried really hard to be human, his real name was Dennis.
Sadly all of them have been fantasy Pathfinder since no one other then me can be bothered to learn and run a different system. Though an NPC name I was proud of was Norton, who was an overly chipper Chronicler for Degenesis, their naming system is based of old tech jargon and computer programs so O named him after the anti-virus because he was annoying and useless.

>>52382096

I named my character Noah

My friend incidentally is Noah irl

I have a player who insists on rhyming names (or names with a letter or two different between them) in sibling groups and naming Familiars/Animal Companions/Leadership Feat Followers after objects. I can't object too loudly; she isn't very bright, but she's a hell of a role-player. She's been at my table for ten years, and it's one of my only complaints about her. We've been playing for more than half-a-century of game time, and she has an elaborate family tree that spans every game, main or side, that we've ever played. I truly admire her autism.

I really can't stress enough that she is one of the best players I've ever met, yet she comes up with names like:
>Rune, Relic, and Requiem (Drowish siblings, and each a different caster class)
>Aristotle Aristocracy, the Elf Princess in Hiding
>Alistair Knaves, the Jester (that's like naming your character "Lumberjack, the Woodsman" in carnie-speak)
>Twin Drowish brothers named Novadryl and Nowheredryl (my personal "favorite" stupid names of hers)
>She once asked if she could, with her Leadership Feat, acquire a Cat Beast-Kin named Blue October (I have rules for animal people of every kind involving Orcs being whores of greater magnitude than Humans.) (I told her no on this one.)
>Goblina (She was playing a young Goblin girl, and she named everything Tina, from chickens to her Shadowdancer Shades. It was retarded in a fun way. I liked it so much that now Shades are called Tinas world-wide.)

As for other players, I've had some bad ones over the last twenty years. Here's my favorite:
>Dragonborn named Trogdor the Burninator (I get the reference, but that was dumb. I told him no, he went with it, so I just constantly had people not get his name. That character died in combat legitimately, and he never came back.)

I've also made some boners.
>Lupus Lupin, the Half-Orcish Barbarian (I didn't know what Lupus was, and it sounded like "Wolf McWolf-Awoo" to me. He had a wolf theme and 7 INT.)

A mercenary fighter I rolled once was named Kirik Dullahan (three guesses how she died)

I tend to use real obscure and often ancient names that have modern meanings that I think fit my character, and sometimes I take normal names and stretch them out or come up with an extra part to make it sound newer and fantasy-ish.

Most recent ones I've come up with are

>When the friend with all of the dumb names in my last post remarked, "Oh, Goblina had a brother named Caden, too!" she flew into a rage and said she would just play a different character.
>Thank the gods that Goblina-player is a bro, and defused the situation by saying that it didn't matter and it was just a thing that she noticed.
>"How many girls named (HER NAME) do we all know in real life?" She added with a wink at me.
>Best player and best bro at my table forever, even with her shitty character names.

Some other examples of bad/so bad they're awesome names at my table:
>082 (My sister's Kobold Ninja with amnesia and a symbiotic experiment living inside of her. It's her experiment number, and she plays it so well it's actually great.)
>Ivan Ivanov (Drow are Slavic in my game, and a Drowish innkeeper didn't give his real name but everybody remembered him because of it. He's a favorite of my players.)
>Clank (He was an NPC Lizard Man slave that the party freed, who had never had a name. They asked him what his name was, and as those are important to Lizard Men in my game, he called himself that after the noise his bone-riveted shackles would always make. He was not a robot with a Lombax friend.)

Does... does your DM not understand where last names come from or what they mean? I mean, even thinking for half a second and realizing that most European surnames are the local translation of fucking 'Smith' or 'Miller' or something should show how uninspired last names are.

>>52390301
That's a good name. Check that you're not playing with a group of special snowflakes.

Also, make sure that her house made of wood is near a forest, or woods, if you will. Maybe also make it so one of her ancestors was a warden of those woods. That way you'll have all the possible origins of "Woodhouse" covered.

>>52390301
I like how simple it is. My husband is playing a simple, tomboyish farm girl named Bessie Howards with a "Kobold scaring" bolt-action rifle currently. He plays her to a "T" and it is so much fun. Plain-Jane PC's can be the best.

>Ghir Fastpalms (Gnomes in my game are tiny little steam and clockwork golems, and he was a Force Missile Mage. Ghir is pronounced "Gear," and Fastpalms needs no explanation.)
>Django is the Drowish equivalent of John, and there are plenty of NPC's named both, as well as a slew of other common names that come up a lot. It feels real to me that there are common names.
>Most dogs are named Jeremy, and the name itself often means "good boy" after Jeremy, the Good Boy Who Saved the Universe (A legend about a dog who was a hero from ancient times.)
>Roberto Darkhold (A cutpurse in waaaaaaay over his head when he tried to mug the party.)
>"The Man" (The only known moniker of a crimelord who overtook a slum in the middle of a warzone. He was a bald, elderly human man in the most pimpin' attire.)
>"The Dirty King" (A Drowish warlord who tried to take out a primarily-human farming colony by setting up shop in the biggest trash heap on the continent. Codename.)
>Lord Jet (A charcoal-skinned demon-god of legend.)
>"Big Poppa" (The codename of a polar bear man who is one of the worst crimelords of the current timeline.)
>"The Fourth Quandary" (The name of an inexplicably-huge inn/tavern at the intersection of Trade Route 4 and a road named Quandre.)

Also, despite years of lurking and posting here, I found out that my demented hobo king named Boxcar Joe is an old meme here only recently. I didn't post that story, and that had nothing to do with me. I was building a town of totaled train cars at what had been a giant train hub at one point, and the king of the hobos who moved there needed a name, so I gave him one. This was back in 1997. He's still a player-favorite occasionally-recurring character.

>>52390654
Drop the name and post anonymously, you'll fit in better.

>>52390636
First time I ran Rogue Trader the players chose not to name the ship until it had done something to earn a name. Following their bombing a city of millions of people just to kill one guy who had mildly annoyed them, they named the ship "The Collateral Damage".

>>52390573
>Brodo Swaggins, of the Jersey Shire

I give up. I fucking give up.

>>52374944
Eh, I'd tolerate it at my table

>>52390654
Oh yes, and then there was the nearly-silent, mask-wearing, too-cool-for-the-party archer/mercenary named Boba. He was Drowish, and his player was great, so everything worked out. His family name was asked of him later, and when he said Fett, nobody cared. He was an asshole in-character. It was great.

>>52390573
Erika's a good name, but if that's a reference, I don't get it. The next three are painful, although I do love simple farm-folk names. If the Captain had a reason for his anonymity, that last one is great. It's great in its stupidity either way.

>>52390665
I love it. Ship names are hard for me for some reason, so the fact that it's snappy and memorable makes it great to me. Did they paint a bombshell on the hull?

>>52390660
I'm bored and killing time, so I'm posting a lot as I think of stupid shit from my game. The name adds cohesion to my ramblings about said stupid shit, so that people know that it's all from the same long-running game if they're reading it. I'm sorry that it bothers you.

The posting style is distinct enough, but I understand the sentiment and I don't really fault you for it. Just keep in mind that namfagging/tripfagging is generally looked down upon, in case you didn't already know. Enjoying the stories anon.

I sure did use the word "great" a lot in that post.
More stupidity:
>The group is currently in the Chinese-flavored Huang Empire. Due to the Emperor having a mess of concubines, half of the people there have the family name Huang.
>Ching, Chang, and Chong (Triplets whose mother named them for the sound of the windchimes outside her home, the only comforting sounds she heard in the nights of the warzone she lived in. They are not in the current Huang Empire, they were elsewhere a while ago.)
>Ajax, the all-powerful Sorcerer and peddler of trinkets

It's more convenient for me to reply all at once to posts I want to reply to rather than making a zillion posts and flooding the thread, while I do morning things and whatnot around my house. The name is for post cohesion. You're the second to complain, and here I am doing it again.
Legitimate question not intended to derail the thread at all (seriously, honestly):
Are those things that people aren't supposed to do (like a rules violation), and I just didn't know? You seem pretty agitated about it.

4chan is first and foremost an ANONYMOUS imageboard. Breaching the anonymity should be done only when absolutely necessary, like say when you're conveying something important to a collaborative project or maybe you're a creator visiting the fans or something. "posting cohesion" is kind of a retarded reason to post considering there is not a single other person who has ever needed a name to find cohesion in their own posts. Just dropping the name would be a wise move.

A guy I know played a blackspoitation paladin in a PF game a few years ago called Shizzle B. Sanctified. The portrait was great too.

If you like Colateral Damage as a name, pick up a copy of "Look To Windward" by Ian M. Banks, in adition to being awseom sci-fi it's got a scene with characers quoting ship namaes at each other.
Things like "Poke It With a Stick", "Lacking That Small Match Temprement", "All Done With This Niceness And Stuff", and my personal favourate "We Havn't Met Yet But You Are A Great Fan Of Me"

>>52391083

you're fine, I don't know what that guy's deal is but it's ok to use a name.

usually we don't because like they said the anonymous thing is sort of the main deal here but it's ok

>>52391099
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have to check that out. It sounds like fun, and might even help me with ship names. The only things I know about ship names are that they need to be a Her and that they tie into the ship's fortune. Speaking of:

>Throw-away gag while the characters are in a port
>There is a race of people driven crazy by "black water" on this island who wear wicker clothing and other nonsense
>They overhear the captain of this ship, a man wearing an albatross and caked in bird shit with a wicker nest around his neck, as he orders his crew about
>They're leaving port and the captain yells "Westward, with the rest of the damned!" as the odd ship departs
>The party sees the name on the side of his ship
>Lucille, the Lucky Lady
>They call all boats Lucilles for the rest of that storyarc

Marvelous! I love amnesiac characters for some reason.

>There was a long-running character named "Cook" in my game

>As it turned out, he was on the run.
>He had been the chef for a king who had been assassinated via poisoning over months, and figured the courts would blame the filthy immigrant kitchen staff.

My old gm used to use the name Fritz for any unimportant npc we asked the name of. Merchants, generic guardsmen and town criers as the sort. It was a warhammer scenario so I was fitting that many common men was called that.

So as we start a new campaign I choose to create Fritz Teatime (Pronounced "Te-ah-tim-eh,"; everybody gets it wrong) The master murderer. 3 out of 5 people had a chuckle over it.

>>52391213
Cook was an NPC in the same campaign where Ching, Chang, and Chong showed up, and also where >>52391164 occurred. This was also the game where Goblina-player played Novadryl. The game manages to be serious at times, I swear.

>>52391106
Alright, thanks for clarifying. I should re-read the global rules, since it occurred to me during all of this that I'm foggy on what they are exactly.

This is a story from a friend's game:

>There were literally ad flyers all over the slums promising gold to any chucklefucks dumb enough to go to the spooky swamp tower for a job.
>My husband, another friend, and I decided that we should play siblings from the slums trying to make a buck.
>Minions were usually marked with simple letters on the combat map, so we went with..
>A for Abrexta, a short girl with kleptomania, a temper, and a very sharp knife. Played by my husband.
>B for Bertramos, who was a cross-dressing maniac of a cannibal. He loved horses and intricate pulley-based traps. Played by me.
>C for Corasia, she was the meanest and only decently-skilled combatant among us. Played by our friend.
>D for their last name, which was Deldagrimm.
>We were not competent minions.

>>52374050
For a joke, I once named a goblin character Shart Blumpkin. He had a reputation for being an amazing lover and was the love slave to a hag for six years before the game started.

The worst names I've encountered:

>Vehemence
A Shadowrun character. One-word handles were the norm for us, but goddamn. He got razzed so much that he swiftly changed it to 'Anubis', which made a lot more sense for the character.

>Wonder
A really nondescript, inappropriate moniker for a Tiefling Necromancer. I think the name was supposed to suggest her obsession with another player's Warlock (Fawkes Falbries).

>Dusk Edge
From the same mind which later brought Vehemence. The sharp-as-a-club wit by which all other 'bad' names are measured. Swiftly renamed 'Dredge' to preserve sloghtly more dignity.

>Thane, Doyen of Death
Same guy as Vehemence and Dusk Edge. He's...not the best at names, it must be said. He's also a Monk, so the name 'Thane' seems peculiar.

Names I've liked from various players:
>Tibie Esche
>Marven Meteo (Stan Lee + Tellah)
>Umgrim Rockeye
>Vyse Blueborne
>Virrasztas Tarkusson
>Niers of Fortran
>Sir Daniel Borden (Sword & Board Fighter)

My personal gimmick was that, for the last few years, I've tried to make a character whose name started with every letter of the alphabet. Now that I've obtained it, I have to get more creative with names.

Arsenal the human fighter in 5e.
He was played by a guy who didn't bother learning the combat rules and who had the goal of buying a magic staff so that he could then sell it to feed his family of 17 orphaned brothers and sisters.

The party has subtly attempted to murder him at least once a session, but he survives via dumb luck and good rolls.

Bardy the Bard

At least your players choose names. I had a player who made an elf monk not come up with a name for like 2 sessions, then finally settle on Chen. Must have been reallll hard to make that one.

Another one of my players is Ivellios the Lifeless, so we all call him the No life as much as possible. It's great stuff.

Now their gods, on the other hand... Never let your players come up with deities, otherwise they'll be the most ghetto things ever.

He's a fucking Nissan rogue. Played with him for like 6 months. Total bro, just went the long way for a joke.

His next character was a cavalier named Chevy

Simultaneously best and worst:

And for NPCs I've made
>Twin BBEGs who's plan was to preform a sacred ritual, merge together, and ascend to Godhood named Daea and Tii

I just steal chigaco gangster names. Two-gun Tommy becomes Two-Fist Tom the monk.

Like french but autistical. Dont get me started on aprostopation rules and exceptions.

r8 a few of my past/current names:

>Hans Brunschwieger, devout Christian who really hates demons
>Maria Saavedra, wannabe actress who almost ended up a cult sacrifice
>Slanelan Vazan and her sister Adra, Zabrak explorers/scouts
>Heptele Jenfrin, sorceress who likes the finer things in life
>Aaron Valens, fighter who used to be in a mage-killing squad
>Pavel Hearward, wizard in over his head
>Aimos the 2971st, warforged paladin with a guilt complex and frequent crises of faith

The only joke name I've come up with so far is Robert the Mercenary, a rogue who really loves disguises and has a fairly prominent chin


Also, I've found that you'd better come up with something short and memorable, like a nickname, or nobody will get it straight.

>>52408069
You're gonna have to make that seven.

>>52408986
Dude, you know that English has more vowels than 5, right? And sometimes the vowels can change even if we tack a vowel onto the end for some god-awful reason (Tim vs Time)

Long story short, almost all languages are a bitch to write down

I do indeed have stories!

>>52400366
A personal favorite:
>Off to steal some Dwarven Nth Metal from a Dwarven warehouse so our boss can build hisMacguffin
>One Dwarven guard who has a glaive
>Bertramos stands up on a crate and draws his whip
>His catchphrase/go to tactic was to "Whip him in the face!"
>Gets attack-of-opportunitied, because he was not good at sneaking and the guard knew he was there
>Yells "Whip him in the FUCK!" as a single blow reduces him to bleeding out due to being a squishy, dainty Rogue
>Abrexta runs out to stab him, misses, gets critted into the negatives
>Three roundsof Corasia and a no-name Dwarven guard going toe-to-toe
>She wins with less than ten HP left
>This lone guard nearly TPK's us

Another fun one, this time with traps galore:
>Boss wants us to break into his sister's mansion
>Not really clear as to what our job actually is
>She has a big walled-in courtyard filled with mean-ass dogs
>Bertramos: "Why don't we affix a rope to my waist, and using a horse as a counterweight, I can..." (insert long elaborate plan) (He had 18 Intelligence and 7 Wisdom)
>Abrexta and Corasia humor him up to a point
>He gets prettied up in his favorite princess gown, all pink and frilly, because that's how he dresses for work
>He's halfway up the wall on this pulley, when the guards show up
>Bert's sisters leave him there, dangling, ass up, surrounded by guards
>He gets arrested on suspicion of mischief

>>52398779
I really am a lucky son of a gun. Last night was my game night, so I have some fresh stories!
>Goblina-player
>Current character is named AEvangeline Aristocracy, which is an awesome name
>AEvangeline's sister's name is Evangeline (She lives in the town/character bank I let my players make and use)
>Constant hijinks involving the Imperial Postal Service ensue

>>52399127
I'm not sure why Chris Cummings was the one that got me, but it did.

>>52399953
I've heard that there are lots of Eastern European names that have a similar theme, although I'm not worldly-enough to know why.
There was more to his story than I had mentioned there, in that he had three brothers who ran the inn with him. Identical quadruplets. They really screwed with the party, and pranked them hard.

>>52374050
I wish I could just play with someone who names their barbarian something like OMNIMURDER FUCKSLAY, the Killer of AAAAAAAAAA.

>There's a Shiba man who got hit by a wagon once when he was younger, he sells breads and beers
>His name was Ronnover
>Didn't catch the pun until AEva asked him what his name was

Also:
>Dragon Spirit that is honored by the festival the party is enjoying has a long, complicated, Asian-sounding name
>Shujikijufukujin is her name
>Goblina-player (AEva)"So we're here enjoying the festival of Shoji Kills Jews, Fuck You Djinni, and I wanted to know what there was to do."
>MFW she said that to the Royal Vizier's wife

>>52411551

Please tell me what these letters stand for! Also, I would like to know the story of Godom and Simorah.

>"Yeah, they were the Tupac mountains till I realised"

He's great but my god he can't name stuff for shit

>>52412348
Godom was a hypnotist and Simorah was a contortionist at Mr. Plenty's Carniva, along with Nigel Swift (and the Extraordinary Gimbi) and the Amazing Oswaldo (an occultist). Godom became enraged at Mr. Plenty (the showman) when he was caught hypnotizing women on the side and promptly fired. Godom, and his lovely assistant Simorah, proceeded to burn down the carnival and start murdering the other carnies, of which only Mr. Plenty, Nigel Swift and Oswaldo remained, going into hiding. Now Godom has become a criminal mastermind and Simorah is his most skilled assassin and still his lover.

Those are exactly the kind of answers I was hoping for. I've run a few carnie-themed games in my time, and they were some of the best games I ever had any part of.
Also, I'm a sucker for acronyms that actually mean something, especially when the acronym is super-appropriate like his was.

I suppose I could share a couple more stories.

ON THE TIME WE ACCIDENTALLY SAVED CHILDREN:
>BBEG-Boss sends us to this backwater hick-town
>His cousin is the mayor, and wants to steal his swamp tower HQ for himself
>BBEG-Boss has a whole family of inbred relatives, all vying for power, and this Mayor-cousin is probably the worst of them it turns out
>Using a wand of Polymorph that we've obtained as Minion-Lieutenants at this point, we make him look like a gross monster and let the guards deal with him (a lone guard almost TPK'd us once, after all)
>We break into his mansion and loot it
>Accidentally free his child prostitutes from what we thought was the vault

ON THE TIME WE UNWITTINGLY HELPED START ARMAGEDDON:
>Abrexta found a dragon egg on an adventure
>She kept it, oh fuck why did she keep it?
>Corasia's player and I took bets on what would happen to it while out for a smoke break
>She thought it would end up in an omelette
>I thought it would hatch and eat us
>Neither, as it turns out
>Abrexta, that sneaky bitch, traded it to our BBEG-Boss's sister and got us a new job working for her instead
>Corasia and Bertramos were barely consulted, and certainly not beforehand
>As it turned out, BBEG-Sister had been watching us, and knew about how we had tried to break into her mansion for her brother a few times
>It becomes a be-employed-or-be-dead scenario
>Our new boss was actually a lot nicer to us, but she was also basically the Antichrist
>We gave her the last pieces of her master plan, including the egg
>At least her minions got pretty, petite dress uniforms with a unicorn motif, so Bertramos was happier than a pig in shit while the Empire burned

Had a character based on MtG world Lorwin, he was actually a scarecrow turned into human. When asked about name he answered with this weird tongue sound when you snap with it like *tsocc*
So Tsocc was his name

>>52374050
Do you mean PLAYER names, or CHARACTER names?

>>52374050
A long time ago I joined a group with a character named randy Johnson, a nuwisha with heave-ho

In my current group is Taint Gundersen

I'm a dumb faggot who can easily imitate you.

>>52374050 James, the Sorcerer. Somehow still alive. Mermin, the magician. Melted in a pool of black dragon acid. Kenzaki(weeb af). Went back to Japan.

I'm glad that this thread is still alive! Keep the fun times going. These names are golden, and it's fun killing time with you folks.

>>52416203
What is it about me posting that upsets you so much? Here, now I have a tripcode. I'm having fun still, how's your day going?

>>52414980
I'm not OP, but on that note, I don't think I've ever had anybody at my table with a strange given name. One person at my table did like to go by THE Techno-Raver (emphasis on the "THE" part, which he always said).

For a one-shot:
>Magnus the Magus
>Razor the Ranger
>Saladin the Paladin
>Rich the Witch

The DM didn't notice until after the session was over.

>>52416763
That's brilliant. Did you all get together to pull that one on your DM, or was it a huge coincidence?
Now I'm thinking of what names the other classes would have. Maybe Barry the Barbarian?

>>52413244
I've always wanted to run a M:tG game, and Lorwyn was one of the best settings they've ever used. How was that game? What system did you use?

You are most certainly dumb and a faggot.

One of the characters in my game is named this, we call him Hans.

GMing, made an NPC named an NPC with the name and title Lord Commander Sergei Strahdos, which the party heard and understood as Lord Commander Sir Guy for 2 sessions.

Made a bard named Chad Thundercock, after somebody mentioned it here once in a thread about waifus I think.

More hilarity from my table:
>Goblina-player
>Descendent of Goblina's brother
>Another demented little girl, this time a Druid/Rogue (and later also a Stormlord)
>Named Miss Maim
>Has a scythe that she named Vorpal

>Much later in the campaign
>Starts a gang with a bunch of street urchins
>I give her complete control
>She moves them to the town that the party started that serves as the "character select screen" between stories, builds them a teapot-shaped HQ, and names her gang the Little Misses
>All of them have "Miss _____" -styled code names given by Little Miss Prime, A.K.A. Miss Maim
>Most of them are terrible puns
>Miss Spells (Rogue/Wizard)
>Miss Nomer (Gnome Illusionist)
>Miss Tick (Time- and clock-themed Shaman)
>They also serve tea in little maid outfits
>I think Goblin-player might be a lesbian

>>52376159
Which is better, a Bard named Brad, or a Bard named Bart?

>>52416879
>Did you all get together to pull that one on your DM, or was it a huge coincidence?

I realized that my character's name fit that pattern, then decided to go all-in on it and got everyone else to follow suit.

I figure that if you're going to make a pun, then go all the way. Don't half-ass it.

Is this the "is my name ok" thread?

I'm playing a Gnome bard called Dibble. He has other names, but everyone just calls him that. He's mostly incompetent, but keeps the story going.

A couple of months ago I was playing in a Pathfinder campaign, and my character died, so I put it up to a vote for what my next character would be.
The options were...
>Mr Skellington, the human necromancer who wishes he were a Lich
>Dirk Steadfast, the Elf who thinks he's a human and refuses to acknowledge any evidence to the contrary
>Twilight Sparkletail, the Kitsune sorceress who mistakenly believes that her magic comes from the power of friendship

They voted 2 for Twilight Sparkletail, 1 for Skellington, and 2 abstaining.

>>52374050
Kraber Saskan Chengis. For a normal guy in New Mexico in the modern day. I don't know if this is the best or worst name.

Some nutty names that I love from games I've played in (some mine, but most other players'):

Winkie (elf fighter/magic-user)
Velcro Rayon (human ranger)
Yll & Ylla -- elf brother and sister
Maximilian Von Rudebushe -- elf thief,
Snarf Von Stadnart (kobold witch-doctor/thief)
Zonfax Monmactor -- Hobgoblin Gladiator
Sir Richard Michael Noble -- human fighter, wannabe Knight/Paladin
Merlax -- Human wizard
Sir Shear -- Human fighter and sacrificer of his own offspring
"Snoopy" -- wizard, female disguised as male, dressed like a clown or harlequin
Vicar -- elf cleric/ranger

>Ragazzo (was a dragon shaman, everyone thought he was a clown)

>William Slate
>Real name was William Alistair, but changed it after avenging his family, getting a 'Clean slate'

Is that good?

>Amadeus Vult, Religious zealot

>>52374068
I had a Barnaby in a campaign once. Half-orc Paladin we sent on a diplomatic mission with City-Lord.
Instead of brokering an alliance he kidnapped the mayor and started a chain of events which destroyed one of the pivotal Trading ports in the Kingdom.

In hindsight, never send a half-orc on a diplomatic mission, no matter how civilized he normally acts.

I'm going to run a OYW Gundam game using Battle Century G. I want the PCs' squad to be filled with NPCs who's whole purpose is to die during the first session. How are these for some cringe-tier, Tomino-esque names?

Mai-Rhee Soo, who was one of my most well-rounded and developed characters in a Star Wars campaign we did, interestingly enough.

I mostly make characters with obnoxious foreign names such as:

Elmo Maarschalkerweerd (used this name for 3 different characters by now)
Heijndrick Tuygertgen
Giuseppe Rossi (a bad pepe reference that fortunately no one caught on to)
Brandt Bruy Koning (A bad reference to B.B. King that fortunately no one caught on)
Zdeslav Giger, the 14th viscount of Rensselaer (a bad reference to two surrealist painters that people probably caught on to, but never brought up)

>>52374050
Named a Techpriest Grun Duram Penna.

Pædar MacGilleMhartainn, a gnome dirgesinger that once killed half an army in one song, followed by completely breaking the mind and spirit of an orc barbarian.

>>52374050
Brokenop.

No, really. On a filthy homebrew class too. At least he was honest about it...?

>>52374895
To be fair, have you SEEN what racehorse names are like? Go look up the Happy Valley records, seriously.

after reading through this thread I'm feeling an urge to roll an orc barbarian named Brick Outhouse

James Dio, a kung fu priest in a modern supernatural detective campaign.

Philip LuPacchi, a mage who uses magic rings and a gun sword to fight monsters in a post apocalyptic campaign

>>52411966
>I've heard that there are lots of Eastern European names that have a similar theme, although I'm not worldly-enough to know why.
*ov or *ovsky roughly means "son of." Ivan Ivanov translates to "Ivan, son of Ivan"
