Adventuring company names

[Kyramus]

We have names for pcs. we have names for enemy groups. What names have you used for your adventuring companies??

My group has used.....

The legion of doom
Dissension (which was aptly named)
and presently (gag) The Unknowns.

The best adv company so far that I have been with is one where I was the player.
Ascending Blades


I've also inspired other friends who took...
Leaves of Dawn
and
The Shades of Grey

The only in-game Adventuring Company that I've ever been in was The Band of the Axe, so called because the Dwarven fighter was carrying the remnants of the Axe of the Dwarves and was trying to get it re-forged. It was an excellent group, with many members over the years, and sadly perished at the top of Dragon Mountain. Ah, memories.

I wonder how many of us older folk had group names vs no group names.

Which also brings up a new point, how many of the newer folk have group names vs those that don't.

Older folk= those who have gamed since first edition, straight into second and into third.

newer folk= near the end of second edition and into the third, or just third.

My players seem to dislike company names for some reason. It's a pain in the butt when I start looking at titles for the storyhours.

What about those who played through the lifespan of 2nd and into third but never played 1e, do we not count?

Our party rarely has a name, but each gaming campaign tends to get a name along the way. The first campaign that this group went through together we all seemed to be stumbling from one ambush to another and so our group name reflected it: Initiative Lost.

The next campaign (the Slavers Greyhawk story line) was titled after our uncanny ability to destroy everything in our path. Often this happened without any effort on our part, we were Area of Effect.

Our first Whitewolf game, where I was cutting my teeth both with the game and with new players was sadly named after my inadequacies of DMing. It was titled Plot Contrivance Playhouse Presents:...

The only official name that a party in any game I have been in was the front name that the party gave to do some shady business, it was of course Universal Exports...

ugh.
I said I wonder. I didn't write that to cause a "HEY where do I fit in."


lol

I just want to know how many people out there actually had group names or not. and how it affected people in their adventures.

I'm an "older folk" and we rarely had group names - though one group called ourselves "The Ferrymen" for a while. We had a tendancy to send beings over the river to the underworld...
