Well yeah... this is probably a small bit of spam, but I couldn't help but noticing how Skip Williams (one of our regulars on dyso) is also the creator of the Tomb and Blood Expansion book for 3rd Ed DnD.... hmm... and I thought *I* wasn't creative...

Yeah, Skip Williams has been around Dnd for ages. He's been involved in Forgotten Realms books since AD&D 2nd edition at least...

It's pretty sad no one actually asks me for origionality, they don't even know where I got the name, let me explain'

My nickname is Skip, my friends have always called me that, my last name is Williams, my first, obviously is Jonathan, I have had a long line of characters with the williams name, valas the drow for e.x. , but most have only been on dyso, only one williams ever played outside of dyso, its a name, plain and simple, while sure, the writer for a book might have the name as skip williams, i have mine from other measures, it's no different than someone with the name jonathan, how many could there be in the world? only a couple thousand at least, while I realized that it was also the name of "The Sage" who made it (the actual writer skip williams) I figured it was good to have a name people could relate to if they wanted both ic and ooc matters solved or fixed, or helped... skips alignment is LN, he is a judge, he is also a sage who is over 300 hundred years old...

dont tell someone they are unorigional if you dont know the story!

it was origional plus a little uncreative, a balance between the two, i could have simply chosen the name "spike williams" would that have made you happy? it's no different than anyone playing artemis entreri, drizzt do urden, catti brie, or wulfgar for example...

but mine is little known, and most people didn't know it until after a while when i had been around, so can you really say its unorigional if i am using it and sticking with it through 5 or 6 months?

i love you too fox...

Hehe, first of all, I didn't even KNOW that Skip Williams was you... (is it?!) and second, that was just an 'assumption.'

of course its me, after i knew who skip williams was a while back, i always got questions and so many people who wanted answers, and i thought to myself... now i know how the poor IRL skip williams feels when he gets bombed with 10,000 letters a day since he's "The Sage" of D&D... so well i created my account accordingly... "The Sage 316" ... the SAGE OF 316!!!!!! LOL

i love it so much, and i need to play!!! arrrrrrg i am glad i just bought all those books too, they are godly awsome, especially tome and blood.
