An elf by any other name:
Names. Lord help me... names...
I have absolutely never been good at creating names for things as far back as I can remember... and I feel like this is problematic, especially now that I have embarked on this whole "writing a campaign" thing.
For comparison where others may say: "Before you stands the a high elf. He bows gracefully and introduces himself. 'I am Gaialus Laroneth of the kingdom Malronia' ..."
I feel like I would stutter out: "So behind the counter is a portly, smiling dwarf. ...his..his name? ...why it is ... Bobo... Melon... ham. Yup! Bobo Melonham the dwarf."
...and of course Bobo Melonham would be THE npc people latch on to and I'd have to face that shameful name until the campaign ends.
I really, truly need to sort out how to be creative with names.
