    I don't think any of the male NPCs in Planescape: Torment have hair. :p

    Are you talking about the floating skull who wants to hump dead female cadavers according to SOTW?

    It's been three months. Time to restart this with an easy one.

    Who was the queen of typos?

    I believe that is 8people. In fact, I think she has/had more than one snake.

    Hmm, after posting, I realised this might be a question with multiple answers. That wasn't who I was thinking of, but as 8people is definitely famous for snakes, I'll give it to you Marcerod, and save the person I was thinking of for another question one day.

    Cool. There's no great early lore questions that spring immediately to mind, so it's open season for someone else to ask one.

    I will throw out a "bonus question" that I figure is almost impossibly hard to answer, but you never know: what was my original username when I joined the boards in 2003? I used it for several years, but didn't post all that much with it. Maybe a moderator might know the answer, or someone who was really paying attention to certain threads a few years back.

    EDIT: After some searching my bonus question might really be impossibly hard, so a hint on that. The username matched a cherished PnP DnD character I used to run.

    Sorry, I don't see how that hint helps at all! You're saying your original screen name that you made up out of your head is the same as the name of some other character you previously made up out of your head?

    How does an "impossibly hard" question, followed up by an almost equally obscure hint, fall into the category of "lore"? :p

    How the hint helps... hmm, I talk about a favorite DnD character. Hmm, I wonder if BoM has a forum for such a subject. I wonder if that forum happens to have a topic that relates to my hint....

    Anyhow, this is a bonus question. Anyone is welcome to ask another lore question to keep the game going.

    Well, your original name was larendor, but I did not find it by using the obscure hint you so graciously provided. Nor did I remember it. There's another trick.

    OK. Here's a lore question, open to anyone but dmc:

    Describe dmc's trick.

    Double-entendre interpretations are welcomed (and encouraged). :p

    Well, there is a thread that shows name changes, but I'm not listed there (technically speaking, the Larendor account was merged into the Marceror account, so it wasn't a proper name change).

    Another way this could have been accomplished was to scan some of my earliest posts. You might find people quoting me, and the quote would show the name I had at the time. Or if I edited a post you would see that it was edited by Larendor, even though Marceror was the poster listed.

    These are a couple of possible ways it could have been done.
