Well before Dungeon Runners, I was using "Anson" for various game-related things - but the genesis of the name is, oddly enough, in gnomes. In honor of the Bling variety of gnomes, but also to harken back to those earlier times when most of the games I played were of the pen-and-paper variety, I've got a new name. Go me. :-)

No, it was really from an old pen-and-paper RPG character. I still have the old character sheet and everything, with the full character name:
"John Anson nact Bolterdale, ynesk nact Dehrer nact Bolterdale-ja-sic, ynesk nact Garet, nact Dave, ynesk nact mahrer nact Uterdale-uter-cront, ynesk nact Dalion nact Uterdale-öter-cront." Be happy I just go by "Anson." :-)
