Jul 03, 2008 13:40:39 Hi, I have a goblin archivist character rolled up living in sharn, and he owns a used book store. I need suggestions on funny/clever names for the store. Any ideas/names are welcome if only for a good laugh. Literary references/eberron references or just plain silly stuff is all welcome. And if I use one I'll be certain to post and let you all know.

so far I've got

20,000 Leagues Under Sharn

Jul 03, 2008 15:29:10 I like Ubbergeek's then when he franchises he can call his next store "A few Tomes More"

Though if it were me I'd make up a 'goblinoid name' that 'doesn't translate well to common'.
