Given enough time, I’d also love to commit myself to mastering amateur astronomy, kendo, swing dancing, Civil War re-enacting and/or upscale cosplay, travel writing, running, gardening, curling, speaking Gaelic and/or Old Norse, and homebrewing. Of late, I've settled down in the Greater Eau Claire Area of WI to enjoy a quiet family life with my daughter, progressive short term memory loss, and a list of new hobbies I am trying out that is longer than me.īesides gaming, I’ve spent most of my copious free time trying to get started as an indie filmmaker, a folk-rock singer-songwriter, or a long-order cook. Since then I’ve wandered from locale to locale, ending up at various times in East Lansing, MI, Dublin, Ireland, and Westchester, NY. Comics and sci-fi were all over the place in there too.

:)Ĭheers! I look forward to coming along for your next 10 years of archaeology.Eau Claire, WI, United States I was crafted in Detroit during the waning days of the Nixon Administration and began my long career as a gaming geek around the age of 9, having been first introduced to Dungeons and Dragons at summer camp – whereupon my first character was promptly & ignominiously devoured by a purple worm. Purple Worm by SpiralMagus on DeviantArt. Perhaps it is the name the villagers gave the mysterious outsider who walked into town one day from parts unknown and erected his tower.Īnother possibility is the word "pous," meaning "foot, with "-pus" being a variation, e.g., "octopus," which means "eight footed." (Why it's not "octopodia" is a mystery to me, but that's language for you.) "Pus" has no literal Greek meaning, but "pos" does: It means "how." Thus, we could translate a slightly-altered name ("Xenopos") as "How strange." A fitting title for such an enduring mystery. The principal translation of "xenos" appears to be "foreign" (or, perhaps, "alien"?), which lends some flavor to the wizard's presence in town. I think your theory of the name's etymology is likely correct (it makes complete sense), but when I started poking around on Google translate, I noticed a couple of other possibilities (and please keep in mind, I am a non-Greek speaker fiddling with an internet gizmo). One such morsel is your post entitled, "The Shadow Over Portown," specifically, your breakdown of the name, "Zenopus" (xenos + pous, or "strange foot"). Discovering and digging into your site has been one of my great pleasures over the pandemic months, and I continue to find interesting morsels to digest. Shop high-quality t-shirts, masks, onesies, and hoodies for the perfect gift. Congratulations! Like countless others, Holmes' sample dungeon was the ur-adventure for me and I remain fascinated by it 40 years later. Kids, toddler, & baby clothes with Dnd designs sold by independent artists.
