So I'm rebooting my home game and my players drummed up there PC's today.
Ayab - Deva Wizard
Ragnarok - Goliath Ranger
Zebith - Drow Bard
Jon Smith - Wilden Battlemind
I like the first 3 but the last name just feels like there was no effort put into that character. It annoys me but I wont force my Player to change it.
In a way, though, one can infer a lot of context from that name. |

One of my problems with movie adaptations is that wonderfully designed, colorful uniforms always seem to end up rendered into indistinguishable sculpted black armored bodysuits.

Really, the only one not phenomenal is Stephen (no hard feelings Mr. Schleicher) who repeatedly asks painfully redundant questions. I get that they have month long breaks between sessions, but he wouldn't forgive any of his students for doing the same thing, would he? (I am assuming of course, and have no idea if he would be forgiving) I think you're missing the point with some of Stephen's questions. Many times, the questions being asked are for the benefit of the listeners, rather than for his own interests. And he's very tolerant of stupid questions, thefirst three times... |

I have yet to listen to the fen of winters but I can honestly say that the party as it is, feels like they have all knwn each other for more than just however long they've known in character. I mean by that each character seems to have this accomplicity as if they all have known each other since they were children
Well, Stephen and I met in college, but there was about a 12 year gap in that interaction before the launching of Major Spoilers. I believe Rob and Brian used to travel the country in a van with a dog and two girls solving mysteries, while Rodrigo and I first met in the ring in Mexico, where he was known as El Ranchero, friend to all children. Though I have met and spent an afternoon in the presence of Rob and Brian (who each looks like the image that my mind had for the other, based on their vocalizations), I have never actually been in the same room as either Rodrigo or Adriana, who exists in an alternate dimension and consists entirely of ionic energy. |

Slabbing is generally reserved for a book of pristine mint quality or one which is already valuable. A slabbed book has a plus side, in that you'll never have issues with grading or wondering whether it's as described, but you also can't read it. It renders your book into a pure collectible.
I recommend at least bagging a book, if only to protect it for future reading. Also recall that books like Deadpool #1, Walking Dead #1 and such are modern books that people didn't expect to become valuable, and thus are sometimes hard to find in excellent shape, so it couldn't hurt to be cautious...
