View original postI've had that same wonderful experience a time or two as well, I don't do writing but I did used to do a lot of DMing and I always liked to really flush out my world's and frankly amuse myself building them in much the same way I used to build characters I'd never play back when I played more than I DM'd. I always like to build my geography and noble houses and such I'd I get kicks picking some vaguely appropriate language to feed a descriptive word or phrase into as the family or city or regional name.
I'm currently DMing a game based heavily on the height of the Roman empire, so many places, events, and people are named in Latin.
Which is amusing, as when when I named someone Magno Malum (essentially Big Bad Guy), and the players were completely oblivious.
