PBEM Transitions
Nov. 8th, 2008 08:34 amthismustbetheplace just finished her epic, 8 year Spelljammer PBEM - actually she ended it early because the energy was waning and we weren't sure we'd make it through the remaining 4 years of plot (! and she accuses me of overplanning!)
I'm going to be sorry to see it go - I' ve been playing Emmett Half Man for a long, long time now - but I'm now in the mood of enthused anticipation for the beginning of her next campaign. I'm playing a Gnome Bard with lots of Alchemy skill, the kid of Jack of SAll Trades, social lubricant character that Emmett really wasn't. My big problem at the moment is coming up with a name. Being the only Gnome player character I'm planning to continue the Emirikol convention of Hungarian being the Gnomish language (it makes everything sound like a real language rather than made up sounds), but the GM had indicated that the human populace normally had last names that indicated personal or family profession.
The Hungarian words for Chemist are either Gyógyszerész or Vegyész.
Either - but certainly the former - would be a right bitch to type on a regular basis. So we'll see if we stick with that naming convention.
