Does your adventuring group have a name?
- Thread starter Krug
- Start date
In the game that we played for two and half years we were simply The Edge. The first group I played with the party was called The Sentinels and in current game which is set in Kingdoms of Kalamar we are called Tyran's Cleaver. Named after our leader and his weapon of choice a masterwork cleaver.
Tyran is based on the character Cutty from Gangs of New York.

I have a hard enough time getting my players to name their characters. PCs often don't get a name for a few games and then I just make up a name for them.
Yet as a DM, I have this need for labeling my groups. I think it helps me in filing the adventures on my computer. Anyway, for the last group, an NPC bard dubbed the group The Slayers of Pyrooth. The name came from an area of evil humanoids in which the PCs massacred everything that opposed them.
Our newer group, I am pretty sure I'll have to name, but I'll wait to give title that is significant to the party's history. I still have to help some of my players with naming their PCs

(It's not actually anachronistic; though the society's now at a quasi-renaissance level, the world was colonized by refugees from 21st century Earth.)
Early in the group's career, it came upon a small, declining town and offered to make it prosperous again if they could run the place -- very much to the DM's surprise. Eventually they got a royal charter making it official, and after 2 years of game time (20 years of playing) they're beginning to make it work. At this point, the adventuring proceeds are mostly going into infrastructure and a few insane projects, so the name is appropriate...though the DM was a little taken-aback that it wasn't just our out-of-game nickname.

We're the Four Points Company.
I like the name, but if we had known that we would eventually be tied down to one location (mostly, and mainly by choice), then we surely would have never chosen that name. It's supposed to refer to the points of the compass. I guess that it makes the whole thing even better, since in real life, people end up going in directions they never imagined.
My character, a gnome rogue, has taken the leadership feat FOUR times, and has used his cohorts to fill out the roster of an all gnome adventuring party as an occasional side project. They are known as the Pointed Caps.
This works out well, to a degree because it means that my cohorts aren't technically members of the Four Points Company, and any time they do get involved in FPC business, they get to negotiate a deal just like anybody else would.
It keeps the profiles of the cohorts down, and out of the game until they are needed for some extra muscle.

Once we reached about 8th level our DM on one night when things prevented us from playing sugested it was time to name our group. This took literally hours. We went though several failed choices although I still refer to us OOC by my favorite, The Seven Deadly Winds. For some reason this was shot down. Eventually we became the Sunset Riders or Bansukishu(sp?) as it was translated too Rokugani.
In my campaign, they have to have a name. They belong to the Adventurer's Guild, so they have to be named so people know how to look them up. I have one group named the Brotherhood of Fate (several people in it worship a luck goddess), and one named the Ring of Five (because there are five people in the group...).
I also played in a group who called themselves Loprex's Legends (because we were brought together by a woman named Loprex).
