Posted: Mon Oct 25, 2010 3:03 pmJust a single item of background info, to file under Embarrassing Name:
"Hal" Halbjornsen's given first name...
... is Helgi.
Yeah.
Yes, it's been that way since I first came up with him as a classmate for our heroes. He's named after a fellow convention dealer, who owns a gaming shop in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. (Which is almost as bad for going on the road as if he were a comic shop guy in Key West; there's no "short drives" to ANY convention, really.)
Anyway, Helgi Halbjornsen, no middle name.
That's why he goes by Hal, if he absolutely must be addressed at all.
