Reverb Gamers 2012 - #7, 8

"How do you pick names for your characters?" - Reverb Gamers
I usually try to let something about my character influence the name that I pick.  For instance, I'm currently playing a savage skald in my friend Rob's Pathfinder game and the class in and of itself suggests a very Nordic name (Astrid).  However, when I'm playing a halfling, I usually try to pick very silly names.  Once, during character creation, I decided to name halfling after my phone because it sounded very halfling-ish (Blackberry).

If I get stumped on picking a character name, I will often google for fantasy names or Irish/Celtic names because those usually sound pretty fantastic.

"What's the one gaming accessory (lucky dice, soundtrack, etc.) you just can't do without? Why?" - Reverb Gamers
Well, dice are usually pretty important to my gaming because you can't play D&D without them.  I don't really have a lucky set, though.  I usually pick my pink dice, just because they are pretty but if they aren't rolling well, then I will go to another set.  My Dragon Chow dice bag is also pretty important because without it, my dice would probably get lost.
