Hey if it’s good enough for From software…
Turns out he’s two kobolds in a trench coat. His name depends on who’s on top that day.
Or three!
Is this like 3 halflings in a trenchcoat?
The elves know me as Fi’ang Yalok. The dwarfs know me as Zoenen Hoogstandjes. And I am also known in the Northeast as Gaismunēnas Meistar.
Fangy Yelly
But the local humans call me Phil the Drunkard
Seriously, why are the local humans such dicks? Had a human wizard that was known as Katherine the Great by the wizard-hating dwarves, because she spoke draconic and brokered a peace between them and the kobolds. The orcs called her Katherine the Timeless, because she got ahold of a potion of heal, and a philosopher’s stone before her 17th birthday, and made herself a potion of eternal youth/ immortality. The local humans called her Katherine Lady of Death…
Zoenen Hoobastank
Different scenario but in my first time dming I ended up naming two characters Phil… they were both bandits.
That’s when you turn it into a running gag, and see if anyone notices before they’re clearing out whole camps simply named “Phil”.
I’m looking at you, Olórin, Mithrandir, Incánus, Tharkûn, Greyhame, Stormcrow, Láthspell, and/or Gandalf.
Or when you didn’t come up with a name for an NPC.
“There are those that call me… Tim?”
For us, the opposite happened
The DM had a list of names but forgot to delete one and reused it 10 sessions later
Turns out the old noble is the grandpa of the guard drinking at the tavern, and therefore, they share their name
