10-01-05, 05:13 AM For those not in the know, BASTARD is an anime. Based on a D&D like world, it shows the struggles of a wizard called Dark Schnieder (named after the lead singer of Twisted Sister), a Kingdom called Meta Rekana (Metallica), and it involves a God Ansla Sax (Anthrax), and uses song names for spellcasting (Venom! Thunderstruck! Tesla!). It even had a side character named Bon Jovina (Bon Jovi).

On and off, my fellow gamers have used this influence. It's quite amusing. ANyone else try using names and attacks based on music?

A few examples from my group
-Machi NeHed (Machinehead), a wizard
-Eva Ne'Sance (Evanensence), my female cleric
-Ninian ch'Nelli (Nine Inch Nails), a rogue
-Mari Lynnmasson (Marilyn Manson), an evil cleric
-I-Ro Smithe (Aerosmith), a fighter with a maul
-Ari Nightwish (nuff said), another wizard

Give it a try. Be as liberal in your interpretation as you like.

Ledsa P'elin [Led Zeppelin] No idea what character this would make, but it just feels like a bard to me.

Bla K'sa bath [Black Sabbath] Kobold necromancer

I've created these characters...but I've never had a chance to play them. ;.;

10-02-05, 03:03 AM That reminds me of something that always makes me chuckle. In my house, Lodoss War is a big hit. The OVA series has a character in it named Aldonova.

Now, for those who don't remember, Aldo Nova was a guitarist/singer/songwriter/producer during the early 80's.

He was sort of a musician's musician, playing sometimes on albums with groups like Blue Oyster Cult and guest starring in live situations.

His two hits included a song called "Fantasy" and another called "Monkey On Your Back." He was especially big on the East Coast. His album Subject: Aldo Nova went a couple times gold.

Everytime they say his name (Aldonova!) I crack up.
