[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7753609, member: 29398"] Exactly; though it seems some few did take the latter approach and kinda poisoned the well for the rest of us. Ain't it fun when the game just runs itself? :) I don't know how my ex-players (those who I've lost touch with) refer to my games, if ever they do at all, but common practice within our crew is to refer to the game by its world or region name, or a party name within that world if there's more than one. Thus, I called my current game "Decast" as that was the name of the starting region, and the two parties currently active are usually called "Decast northern" and "Decast southern" simply due to where they've been operating (though that may change real soon as with any luck at all they're going to meet and interweave within the next session or two). The game I play in is called either "Dafan" or - to distinguish it from a previous campaign in the same world - "New Dafan", where Dafan is the name of the world. The parties are called "Main" (the one that plays every week) and "Legends" (a bunch of hoary old veteran characters from the 80's that we play once every few months). All sounds fine from here. :) The only caution there, based on past and current experience, is to watch out if the rule-testing and rule-suggesting players don't agree on something, or one suggests something another objects to. The arguments can get nasty... Lanefan [/QUOTE]
