#1 DontEatRawHagis Oct 24, 2011 22:08:29	So I finally have another Dark Sun campaign starting. A problem I've had before with my characters was in the naming of them. I decided to take a page out of Chris Perkin's book and make a list of character names. However, I will not be using his advice on names for different races. Example: Halfling names are simple and playful (e.g., Corby, Happy, Rabbit, Ziza), and their last names tend to include some thematic tie to nature or water (e.g., Blackwater, Skiprock, Yellowcrane).

I usually use those names or alter them slightly. I'm just now beginning my first really serious Dark Sun campaign. It's set in Nibenay. Nibenay is based on Angkor Wat and ancient Cambodia, so I'm using Cambodian names.
