[QUOTE="neg, post: 4580252, member: 4431"] [b]Names[/b] It seems that I am the one that names our gaming groups. If I don't come up with something...the group never gets a name. In most cases it is organic, and any time it is forced, the names are horrible and mocked mercilessly. A recent one was "Dragon Dogs" based off a DM description of a creature in our very first session. "It appears to be some kind of dragon...or a dog....it's really small". We killed it and skinned it and made a tabbard. That lead to us yelling "Dragon Dogs ride!" whenever we had to leave on horseback. Corney and good fun. The DM hated it and we were TPKed soon after.... My most successful was "The Sometimes Six". This is in a long running Hackmaster campaign where we had six players to start, and that count has shifted up and down since then. There are 3 core players and a few others who join in when available. So Sometimes we are six. The Sometimes Six is well known in Garweeze (default setting of Hackmaster), having fought many giants, a dragon, drow, and visited the City of Brass. We are escaped slaves looking to stop a war on a campaign scale, and profit as much as possible doing it. "The Sometimes Six" was also the name of our guild in World of Warcraft. All of the Hackmaster players and GM started playing and it seemed the obvious and best name for our guild. Though some of us have gone seperate ways, the guild lives on. I also named our Rock Band II band name. It seemed only right after all, I AM the lead singer. Surely you have heard of us? "Truck Stop Whores?" Ah, but that is another tale for another day.... -neg [/QUOTE]
