There is absolutely no way to prove this. It's an entirely personal story, yet it links to an OotS strip that I just finished re-reading.

THE GIANT MENTIONED MY CHARACTER'S NAME!

In the last panel of this comic, check the first name on Malack's Macebook page.

For years I have had a player character in D&D named Kotor. Not a Paladin, but a Druid. Nonetheless, KOTOR WAS MENTIONED IN A COMIC STRIP!! YAY!!!!

Yes, I know, the limited number of syllables in human speech make it almost inevitable that someone, somewhere, would use the same random invented name. I came up with it because I was playing Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic at the time I made the character. (Get it? K.O.T.O.R.?) I have no clue how Sir Burlew came up with Kotor, Paladin of Marduk. But it will be forever special to me knowing that he did. And Kotor the Annoying, Druid At Large is still running around our game world with his Dire Wolf Animal Companion, delivering Neutral Justice to one and all whether they asked for it or not.

Thank you, Giant.

Anyone else seen their PC's name pop up in a fiction work?
