[OT] Help Me Name a Guild!

[Draxus the Tainted]

I need some names for a guild for the Ultima Online game. If know nothing about the game, still feal free to drop a few ideas. All are appreciated, and thanks in advance.

Might be helpful if you give a few ideas of how you see your guild being. Is it a crafter guild? fighting guild? Will you be good or evil? etc.

 

[Draxus the Tainted]

It's a mix of everything. So basically anything could work. We basically would be neutral with Crafters, Tamers, Bards, Fighters, Mages, etc.!

If you're a bit of everything, then that makes you

Jacks-of-all-trades.

 

[Draxus the Tainted]

Thanks for the reply, but that's kinda lame. I need something with a fantasy feal to it. I still give you props for replying!

Neat list, I might use some of that myself. That being said, I think what the original poster is looking for is what would be thought of as an adventurers company name, and not a craft guild.

 

[Tetsubo]

Well... I have fewer examples for that...

A group I was a member of was Demi-God, Inc. A Gamma World campaign I ran had the group name of Overkill. And an NPC group within that campaign were known as Kill Ratio.

Though I do have a list of guilds from that Gamma World campaign...

We could use some more details. Especially for a guild with lots of different characters, it could take its name from a host of sources. What are its core tenets (dare I say 'alignment'?)? What does it believe in? Where does it operate? Who are its founders/key members? What does it mainly do?

If we had these answers, we could probably be of more help.
