I was trying to find out more about the De Winter family (of which Duke Leto is a part) and was having a bit of difficulty. I think part of the problem is that there is a few different spellings in the wiki which is causing some confusion with the searches. The actual page is listed as "Dewinter" but I have seen "De Winter" and "DeWinter" and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a "D'Winter" used somewhere. Should we go through and standardise the spelling of the family name (persomally I prefer "De Winter") but maybe there could be regional variations of the spelling. Could anyone who knows more about such things please advise? Keith -- to unsubscribe notify mailto:dq-request@dq.sf.org.nz -- |

de Winter would be most "correct", as far as historical name construction goes (note lower case d) Kelsie On 23 November 2010 09:12, <phaeton@ihug.co.nz> wrote: > I was trying to find out more about the De Winter family (of which Duke > Leto is a part) and was having a bit of difficulty.

I don't think we need to change all references to one form, however you could note that this family line (eg the DeWinter family of Bowcourt) may be a branch likely associated with the main 'De Winter' family of ...

I think my main concern is that there may be the same individual that have been spelt differently in different places or even two individuals that are very closely related that have different spellings, basically so we know that it is the same person or, at least, the same familial branch. Keeps the geneologists on their toes I bet. Incidently, has anyone mapped out the de Winters family tree as has been done for the Rothchilds etc?

--0015175ce1be42637b0495ab8a0c Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Keith, if in your wandering of the Wiki pages you come across such instances perhaps note it and ask the relevant GM who put the item there or make a note (and link) to the effect that X may also be XX (Eg Robert De Winter could also be the Robert DeWinter mentioned in X. This way it leaves some ambiguity that will either be corrected by someone or left as there is a Robert DeWinter in Bowcourt and a Robert De Winter in Aladar. This becomes more complex when in local areas where there is a Robert DeWinter and Robert De Winter in the same realm - but I think they would be related and as long as there is a differentiator for each to distinguish each then it should be fine. No I haven't done a family tree for the De Winters as many GM have pieces in that pie, whereas I detailed the Rothschilds along with other noble western kingdom families for a reason and other GM's are able to use whats there for their own purposes. Also the family details don't detail who are the related branches to the family or the likely related name variations. Some things are able to be twisted by GM's to use in games for their convoluted purposes and plots. I go through phases (usually associated with unemployment, insomnia, boredom, pregame planning and preperation, DQ background texture, player histories etc) where I put up stuff that is reasonably thorough but these are less often now due to other contraints such as family, children and sleep deficits etc, but I will keep doing so when I can as people such as you and others can take small bits and merge them into their session background to give players a greater sense of belief in the world and PC's some more details that flesh out their life, history and relationships in game. I hope this helps Cheers Chris On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 10:24 AM, <phaeton@ihug.co.nz> wrote: > > Historically a family may start out with a surname like De Winter but > then > > over the centuries the various branch names would subtlety change to > > D'Winter, d'Winter, Des Winter, Des Wintre etc. The changes would be > the > > result of local preferences, changes in family alignment (possibly > > representing a split in the family as in we aren't those De Winter we are > > the d'Winter family), regional pronunciation issues, regional spelling > and > > many more reasons. > > > > I don't think we need to change all references to one form, however you > > could note that this family line (eg the DeWinter family of Bowcourt) may > > be a branch likely associated with the main 'De Winter' family of ... > A > > small reference would be fine and GM's could use the variations or > > similarities as they wish. > > *nods* I see exactly what you mean and I can understand why it happens. > > I think my main concern is that there may be the same individual that have > been spelt differently in different places or even two individuals that are > very closely related that have different spellings, basically so we know > that it is the same person or, at least, the same familial branch. > > Keeps the geneologists on their toes I bet. > > Incidently, has anyone mapped out the de Winters family tree as has been > done for the Rothchilds etc?

I guess the most important bit of this at the moment is to make sure the spellings for Duke Leto, and the immediate family (at least the ones in Cazala), are consistant ... as they're more important to the campaign. The rest can be sorted out as we find them .. It all stemmed from a reference in my current game to the De Winter's and them being an important family .... and since my PC is supposed to know about the local gossip and stuff I was thinking ..'De Winter's? how many of them are there out there and how important are they, and why weren't there any at the Royal Ball (unless I missed something) -- which was what led to the wiki digging. I had completly forgotten that Duke Leto was a de Winter Speaking of phases ... maybe it's time to add some more stuff to the 'Sky at Night' page .... such as periodic meteor showers etc *g* There were some rather interesting ones in history.

Hi, Some of you might know I work at King of Cards in town. One of the things we stock when we can are the pre-painted plastic Dungeons and Dragons miniatures. We have just acquired a large collection which has just gone out into our display cabinets and into our commons and uncommons box. The minis start from $1 and go up from there. If anyone is looking for a mini for their character, or their summonable creatures... or any GM's after particular monsters let me know and I'll tell you if there is anything that might suit in our collection. Or you can pop in for a look, we are open 7 days. Regards, Karen -- to unsubscribe notify mailto:dq-request@dq.sf.org.nz -- |
