[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 5063986, member: 17691"] In general, I believe that few groups bother to name their adventuring party; being perfectly content to adventure in relative anonymity. But on rare occasions I read mention of an adventuring group with a distinctive moniker. Sometimes it's a simple descriptor such as the "[I]the Heroes of Sandpoint[/I]" or something truly unique like "[I]the Knights of Myth Drannor[/I]". I'm just curious how common it is to name one's party, what names have your adventuring companies been known by if any and how they came by them. Was it ascribed by the DM through NPCs or did the players choose it for themselves? Either way did it stick? The first group I DMed way back when were known as the "[B]Azure Bonds[/B]" after being tattooed with blue tattoos in the Forgotten Realms adventure of the same name. Another group chose the supposedly druidic name "[B]RIkir Athair[/B]" (supposedly meaning "Warriors of Life") for themselves because most PCs respected the druidic faith and the campaign was focused on battling the undead. One group I ran in an Anglo-Saxon D&D campaign was known informally known as "[B]the Fyrd[/B]"; an old english term meaning roughly "military expedition". My most recent Planescape campaign's adventuring group was known informally as "[B]the Crossguard Cutters[/B]" after their home neighborhood in Sigil. [/QUOTE]
