Question about names
I thought I read somewhere that you could shorthand names. Like a heroic name of "Robert the Killer of Giants and Orcs" to just Robert when referencing them. I may be thinking of something else but I thought there were two examples given from the section I read(one PC/NPC and one monster). Is this possible or can anyone shed light on this matter?

Welcome to the FG forums.
The main areas I know where you can use a shortened PC name are completion in the chat text entry (press <TAB> to complete the name) and GM assigning treasure from the Party Inventory.
Is this what you're referring to?Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

Specifically referring to an NPC or epic monster name. Another example being "Darkmor" the Conqueror of Plinth to just "Darkmor". I don't want the full name of the npc/monster in chat each time its referenced. Again, I could have read this elsewhere in a non-FGU setting and I am just slowly descending into madness.

Sounds like you're referring to the non-identified name of a creature. Some info here: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassia...eate-a-New-NPC

I already have an NPC that is using the non-identified feature. "Doc" is his non-identified name but his real name is Alluisious Finkle (he doesn't like people knowing his real name). I have another character "Bosun" Smither Harroot who just prefers being called Bosun (his title aboard the ship). I may just be thinking of a physical mechanic rather than a FGU built in one. I research so much stuff it sometimes just mushes together.
