I was also trying to behave like a skeptic through the whole thing, which got really hard towards the end.
I felt your skepticism! I didn't realize you were just a friendly until late in the scenario (or maybe I'm misremembering?) and it was a great 'oh whoa right' moment. and the strange background screamish sounds were the best possible backdrop to STALKER, as I mighta said in that Unspeakable Oath comment.
Short version: a character in the Usagi Yojimbo comics: Oyama Tadanori. and I decided to use "Tad" at the Cons because it doesn't sounds as pretentious as a clearly American voice using the name "Oyama".
This! I was mostly wondering if you were one of those hidden Bay Area Japanese dudes I grew up around or something. I agree that Tad fits bettah as a face to face name.
