What is in a Name? Is it just an identifier or is it something's complete identity? Is something named nonsensically or was there a direct and ancient reason for that name? What happens if an extra-planar being or a supremely powerful sorcerer were to learn your name? What could they do with that power? Pick any point on a map. Why is it named as such?
The 3-Piece-Chicken Tendies discuss naming as concerned with your Role Playing Games and story telling. They share stories and tips from their own experiences and also examine methods used by such esteemed authors as J.R.R. Tolkien, Ursula K. Le Guin, Patrick Rothfuss and George R.R. Martin. Come on down to the Bone Pony Ranch and have yourself a listen!
