02-10-04, 02:30 PM My formula for Dwarven names:

Given name should be at least vaugely Nordic or German sounding; examples include "Bruenor," or "Magnus."

Family/Clan name is nearly always a compound word, related to the family's traditional profession (usually fighting, forging or mining), drinking, or some type of stone.

02-10-04, 03:24 PM WarDragon where do you live?

Location: West Virginia, or the University of Kentucky, USA

I used to live in West Virginia and now live close to Lexington Ky.

I go back to WV for holidays and long breaks, except this July, when I'll be studying abroad in England.

If you have a D&D group that's willing to take in a newbie, give me an e-mail (the address is in my profile).
