Does your adventuring group have a name?

Back during Shadowrun 1st Edition my gaming group was called the Elven Botanical Society. All the players made their characters up in isolation and and when we came together, we had all developed elves. The GM just rolled his eyes. We ended up becoming best at 'runs that involved professional hits of corporate targets. So we offered "pruning" services to the highest bidder. Snatches became "grafting" services. You get the idea.

Friday game I play in: "Band of Blackcroft" (after the homestead out characters came from)

Sunday game I DM: "A Bard, a Barbarian, a Druid and their wacky little Rogue sidekick". ;)

I'm the GM of the Friday night game. One of my players beat me to posting the name. :)
 


The group doesn't really have a name, though one of the PCs have attempted to get bards to publicise them, using 'Herc Stormbringer and his followers' as a group name.
Fortunately (for Herc) the other PCs havent found out about this yet.

Our DM had a blast with the oathbound book and went hogwild giving us random races and abilities, it's quite fun being evil :D

I remember doing that with the second ed book of mosterous races once. We litterally flipped through and stopped on a random page, that being the race we had to play. I was a Kobold theif, I rode around in a back harness attached to my best friend, a Minotaur Fighter (Hey we had just watched Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome), and we had a Centaur and a Pixie in the party too. That was a fun party.

None my current group doesn't have a name, appart from one of the druids attempting to create a cult called the "friends of the woodlands" but it's 90% NPC's. My old Shadowrun group though was called either "Dorethies Thugs" or "The Men Behind the Curtain" because all the streetnames were characters from the Wizard of Oz. Actually after the two surviveing orrignial characters retired I set them up as fixers who owned a shop in Redmond called "The Yellow Brick Road". It had a neon sign showing a girl with pigtails holding a rifle.

Emphasis on "yet".
 

The only groups that we had that actually took on a name was in a couple of Vampire: The Masquarade games we were in. In one we were the "Bathroom Hunters" owing to our particular hunting method. (I'll leave that up to your imagination)

The other was the "Clean Neck Gang". We began hunting homeless people in the city. We would always bring along baby wipes and clean the necks of the people before we fed from them. Then we would leave them $20. It got to the point that the homeless began to hear about others that would wake up in the morning with a clean neck and money. So the bums began to wash their neck. We'd hunt and all of the bums we found would have clean necks.

It all ended when a city dwelling Werewolf who was the "Protector of the Bums" suggested we hunt elsewhere. We didn't want to mess with him, so we took his suggestion.
 


Our group is know as "The Outsiders Aegis", owing to the fact that when we started the group was comprised of 2 half-orcs, a half-drow, a human who was wanted in in her home country, an elf wizard, and a human bard. Since 4 of the 6 were outcasts in some way, we decided that "Outsiders" fit us quite well.
