I love this series! Brief and digestible but packed with actionable and relevant tips and info. I love this tip. I particularly like the idea of an entity having multiple nicknames from various regions or cultures.

So great to hear these extra thoughts,Mike. I’m getting ready to go back to my formative RPG, D6 StarWars, for a 1 shot, and I can’t wait to use these sort of tips in a completely different style of game. Thank you.

I love podcast thank you for this. To the article nickname part. Names have power like the process of coining a coin, afterwards everyone has a understanding what meaning and value this lump of metal now has including the coin itself. (as a German metaphor) As a side note maybe it is of interest to you there is a crowd funding campaign on backerkit right now. The five hundred year old vampire. In the campaign is a add on named 'Thousand year old vampire' That is a long time out of print solo RPG from Tim Hutchings. Which has raving reviews from many critics even outside the RPG community. It is exceptional in its art and way to approach the solo RPG genre. https://www.backerkit.com/c/central-michigan-university-press/five-hundred-year-old-vampire I'm not affiliated with that project but I was looking for an affordable copy of that book for a long time and thought you might have not heard of this and could be interested. Thank you for your work

Thank you so much! I'm a big fan of Thousand Year Old Vampire. I have one of the few physical copies and ran through a fun scenario with it a couple of years ago. Seeing a group version is pretty cool!
