Message: <blockquote data-quote="ilgatto" data-source="post: 8949851" data-attributes="member: 86051">I like how this thread led to people actually coming up with lists of names for sessions, so here goes.I've been making notes of all sessions I ran and played since I started playing way back when - and I have been naming sessions as long as that, usually retro-actively when I was the DM and often during play or right after it as a player. In all of this time, I can recall not much more than one or two instances where a DM other than myself had a name for a session, or even for the adventure if it was homegrown. Oh well.Like many of you upthread, these session names run the gamut from puns, to variations on a theme, to catchphrases that apply to what actually happened during a session - sometimes with tongue-in-cheek references to ... other stuff - to combinations of all or some of the above.For example, when a long-running campaign featuring PCs ending up greatly involved with a Thieves' Guild ended and a new one started featuring street urchins part of said TG, it didn't take long before it was dubbed "New Kids on the Block", and therefore:I: Back Street BoyzII: Nu Kidz On Da UpIII: NailedIV: Nu Kidz On Da RunV: Nu Kidz On Da RoadVI: BlackoutVII: Back Street's BackVIII: Nu Kidz In Da HouseIX: Hangin' ToughX: Step By StepXI: Boyz II MenXII: Up To SpeedXIII: (unnamed)XIV: Move It On UpTo think I don't even like boy bands... Obviously, YMMV. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />In another example, the first session of another campaign I played somehow led to the notion that all sessions were gonna be named after iconic or pulpy 80s songs and movies (or from the 70s when glaringly obvious because of events), for:I: Sign o' the TimesII: Enter the DragonIII: Boys--Boys--BoysIV: Pet CemeteryV: Clash of the TitansVI: Two Thousand YearsVII: Flesh 4 FantasyVIII: Dungeon Time AgainIX: You Take My Self--You Take My Self ControlX: Tainted LoveXI: Do You Really Want to Hurt MeXII: Church of the Poison MindXIII: Break on ThroughXIV Break on Through Some MoreXV: Stairway to HeavenIn another, short-lived instance, I used sessions titles to express displeasure at how a notoriously brutal and contrary DM went about handling Vale of the Mage:I: Big ProblemsII: Familiar ProblemsIII: Problems As Usual, part IIV: Problems As Usual, part IISo that was four sessions with the PCs being seriously beaten at every corner (by a single, strangely omnipotent orc shaman, mind you - sorry, emotions still running high) and not even getting close the vale.</blockquote>
