WTF is going on?


I don't understand.

Paizo Employee Director of Narrative

The invisible OP is a devious man. I'd suggest not getting him started. It's been said that he has a nag arm. Others from the bayou say that he is a Gar Man. To the Hindustanis he is a Raga Man, but I've always known him as a rag man.

Erik Mona IS Fidel Castro! Just saying.


EXACTLY RIGHT, comrades! An anagram most foul!

My post was deleted as soon as I posted it. Paizo is trying to protect him but they can't. Not unless my next Gamemastery module arrives laced with Kurare powder between each page anyway.

Erik Mona is an anagram for 'a moniker'... an alias. Perhaps he's embarrassed by his chosen profession and tells his loved ones he works in insurance, I don't know. But, driven by an unquenchable curiosity, I hired a private dick to dodge Paizo toughs while digging up his real name: Roscoe Jumbaba.

Keep it real, Jummy, and don't be ashamed of doing what you love. Just... just tell us why you did it, man.

About a decade ago at Wizards of the Coast, Magic: The Gathering designer Mark Rosewater noticed his name was an anagram of "A MASTERWORKER." Needless to say, we never heard the end of THAT.

Edit: oh, his name. That must have been painful to hear over and over again.

Still, your anagram name is actually cool enough to be its own graphic novel.

My real name, Rone Barton, is an anagram for ONE ART BORN. Don't I feel special? I was also BORN A TENOR.

I hate Wizards of the Coast, and now will have to think twice about buying products from your company. Be careful who you call your friends.

What is Erik's middle name, Lais?

My name is an anagram for COCK MAGNET!

Well okay, no, no it's not, but a gal can dream, can't she/he?

How about 'social lounge'? Either that or 'lagoon sluice'. That's all I have thus far.

Edit: Oh, I got a good one for you! LION CAGE SOUL!

Put that one on the cover of your autobiography, detailing how you walked the mean streets of game writing long enough to persevere and become the world's first RPG billionaire. Alright, alright, alright...

MY THEORY: Actually, Jade, Erik Mona is on the run from the carnival where he was raised by Mel Gardenman since being kidnapped at the age of three. He has attempted to keep a low profile so that Mel wouldn't come after him.

He only told a few people around Paizo the truth about his past. James Jacob was one of them. Recently, he realized that James or someone else on the CotCT design team had betrayed him, slipping the name Gaedren Lamm (a close anagram for Mel Gardenman) into the adventure path.

Since then he has become increasingly paranoid, uploading a copy of his personality for 'safekeeping' to the Paizo computer system where it has gone absolutely nuts and started deleting any posts that contained all the letters of his real name.

Just a theory. Do you have a better one?

Actually, I deleted it because I thought it would be more fun to keep the attention on Erik.

Anagrams for Trevor Howard Gulliver:
Rural God with Revolver
Rover, Warlord, Evil Thug
Loved with vulgar error

A note about anagrams:
Eleanor Audeley", wife of Sir John Davies, is said to have been brought before the High Commission in 1634 for extravagances, stimulated by the discovery that her name could be transposed to "Reveale, O Daniel", and to have been laughed out of court by another anagram submitted by the dean of the Arches, "Dame Eleanor Davies", "Never soe mad a ladie".

Wow.

For added fun, my middle name is "David."

That makes my favorite anagram for my full name: I AVOID DENMARK.

Carry on.

Your parents "just" missed! You could have been "I DM." Maybe that would have been too prophetic though...

I figgered out a bunch of crappy acronyms for my name (David Michael Mallon):

- Machiavelli and mold
- Hail, vile cold madman.
- Hmm, ace vanilla dildo.
- Damn, I'm all idle havoc!
- Ha! I'm an old, calm devil!
- Via chill and mad mole
- I'm a venal, old, mad lich.
- Mind amid a vocal hell.
- Mad villa demon lich
- Damn evil old Malachi!
- Livid local mad he-man
- Macho, dead anvil mill
- Hmm, dead villain cola...
- Hell! Dial via command!
- A hell, a livid command.
- Aha! I'll command devil!
- Hail, cold evil madman.

I've got nothin' for "The Eldritch Mr. Shiny", though.

So, care to change your name?

I prepared Explosive Runes this morning.

My name is William Henry Samuel Louis Ashley, and online anagram generators hate me. :P

Realest Tough (naturally)

A Street Ghoul (does that mean I get to raise my hit die to d12?)

You had a pretty good one for me, but I can't recall it.

Well I know it wasn't this headline ripped from the newspaper: "Aged Ma Laid!"

You don't even want to see that front page photo.

Exactly, I AVOID SWEDEN would get support from me too (and probably Vattnisse as well).

Magdalena Thiriet gets good number of anagrams, of which I spotted at least ANIMATE DEATH GIRL, ANATHEMA TIDE GIRL, and ANIMATED HATE GIRL. Suitable superhero names (or supervillain, more probably). ANIMATE DEATH GIRL to the rescue!
