    A shop name? In a small town outside of a castle with a creepy name? Sounds sorta Gothic, so here's what I made up.

    The Grey Gargoyle
    Mayburn Apothecary
    Tarys' Shoppe
    The Cracked Hoof
    Boutique of Wonder
    Evergreen Traders

    Just think of a random name. :p

    I'd say go with The Grey Gargoyle, it has alliteration and thus sounds catchy.

    The Worn Willow is one I particularly like to use in D&D sessions.

    I find that people who play D&D are far better at names and world-building for fics and stuff. Maybe I should play it for once...

    Hmm so who'd be down for a death metal pony? I think I might base my ponysona off of the idea that she's related to Vinyl, but she plays guitar and raves instead of scratches. ;D just throwing my ideas around!

    It's really fun for the creative mind, albeit VERY long sessions depending on however many's in your party and the luck of dice rolls.

    I played Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition since I was 3 and I'm 18 now! My dad has maintained an ongoing campaign for literally over 20 years, with generations of players and characters, three different planets with interlinked kingdoms and politics, and wars that evolved and changed. Yes, the sessions are long - there would somtimes be 12 of us, packed in the apartment, living off of Mountain Dew and Funyuns, and we'd be so into it that we'd play for 8-12 hours at times. But it can be totally worth it. The most epic movie could be made from our tales, and I'll always be proud of my characters and their epic adventures. It also encouraged me to love books, to understand math, and be able to organize and conduct big projects like that.

    I helped a friend test out a D&D style game once, only it was based on Pokemon. I had a Poliwag and I ended up flooding Prof. Oak's practice gym and drowning Oak and a few new trainers.....apparently my friend confused "Water Sport" with "Water Spout"......

    I passed another Nike shirt today. It said "Dunk you" SERIOUSLY WTF!?! Is anyone else tired of Nike's innuendo that they're shooting out of their pants, cause I sure am!

    You know what shirts annoy me? The OBEY shirts. Because all the little hip kids at my school were them, and have NO IDEA what it means, or that they're ironically feeding into its message by buying them for some stupid trend.

    "OBEY" was originally made by a graffiti artist known as Banksy. He's one of the most famous graffiti artists out there. The reason people wear his art on their shirts is because he became a meme. I saw a documentary about it a couple months ago, and it was REALLY interesting!

    Yeah, I saw it a while ago. Gotta keep up with the current art trends, right, lol? Still, it's hilarious when I ask one of the gangsta kids about their shirt and they give me that dumb stare. XD I do have to say, the pony versions of it are definitely awesomer.

    Rofl, yeah. I like Big Mac's totally neutral stare. You should watch the documentary some time, it's real interesting. It's called "Exit through the gift shop"
