101 Inspiringly Punny Titles...

[Dannyalcatraz]

Master of Poo Pets: The party must stave off an attack by the so-called King of the Sewers and his unspeakable army of Otyughs.

Silence of the Lamias: In a time of war, a force of Ninja Lamias has entered the city to kill the heads of the merchant houses responsible for the materiel the kingdom's army needs to survive...

Jason and the Fargonauts: the party must go on an epic journey with Jason Voorhees to find and skin an Anthropomorphic Sheep (who stole his machete) in Fargo, North Dakota.

Break Into the Electric Bugbear Loo: the party is searching for The McGuffin, a wayward heir of a powerful highlands clan, who was last seen indulging in all kinds of depravity in the bathroom of a nightclub devoted to illicit encounters with other species...

I've often used pun titles for some of my adventures. There have been:

"Centaur of Attention," about a captured centaur used to pull a cart for an evil wizard

"Invisible Stalker," which was not about the monster, but rather a human stalker with a ring of invisibility

"Peer Amid the Waters," about a flooded pyramid (that one was even subtitled "You Conduit If You Try," since there was a pair of conduit bracelets featured in the adventure)

"Time Well Spent," about an artifact, the time well, that was currently "spent" of its stored temporal energy

"A Boring Little Adventure," in which an aspis hive is blamed for attacks by a group of boring beetles​

I even managed to get the first three published.

Any links? I tried searching for the first one, but I kept coming up with T-shirts.

"Centaur of Attention" was published in Dungeon #60, "Invisible Stalker" was from Dungeon #63, and "Peer Amid the Waters" was in Dungeon #78.

I originally posted this in a different thread:

The Nancy Drow Mysteries

(D20 Modern/Urban Arcana/Forgotten Realms, PC lvl 3-5)

The PCs are all newly hired investigators at Nancy Drow Investigations, a mid-sized but highly reputable agency. While all relatively new to "the game" they all have excellent recommendations.

On their first day on the job- just after orientation, actually- one of the agency's executive partners' kids is kidnapped. A ransom demand is made, a timeline is set, a dire penalty is threatened. The PCs are tapped for the investigation since- as newbies- they're unlikely to be recognized as NDI agents, and even if they are, their sheer newness may lead the kidnappers to underestimate them.

Can they bring the villains to justice? Can they rescue the little girl?

Can they do so in time?

It occurred to me that you might mine this thread as well:

Or perhaps Gnome Body Nose, in which the animated nose of said deceased Gnome helps...sniff out...the killer?

 

[GAAAHHH]

Another possibility, to be sure; but here it doesn't fit with the other two SW-based pun names.

Oh. Star Wars. I knew there was something I was missing.

How about a Russian cyberpunk adventure called Hind-site is 2020?

In the first year of Living Greyhawk, I wrote Never Mined, about a village of gnomes who stop mining and start partying.

Grell, Interrupted: a fast paced action adventure in which the Party must take down a ravenous and insane Grell on a feeding frenzy in the mine that is a mountain town's main source of income.
