H2 name changed to 'Thunderspire Labyrinth'

[Reaper Steve]

A recent perusal of Amazon.com shows that H2 is not the Labyrinth of Lost Souls anymore.
I think I like the new name better. I found the lost souls bit trite yet evocative at the same time.
Edited: Nope, I like Labyrinth of Lost Souls better. It's more than a location name, it gives a liitle idea of what's there.

96 page hardcover, no other new info.

Thunderspire, Thunderspire, Thunderspire Ho!

And I can't wait for the sequel- H3: Mad Mialee - Beyond Thunderspire

I wonder if the unfortunate acronym of L.O.L.S. had anything to do with the change?

The new name is a little better. I'd still prefer it if WotC would stop smashing two words together in order to create newfantasywords.

While this type of naming convention does have precedence in D&D (Thunderdelve Mountain, 1985; Earthshaker, 1985; Queen of the Demonweb Pits, 1980; Dungeonland, 1983), it was used very sparingly.

In the end, however, the name of the module won't be the deciding factor in my purchase.

I think Labyrinth of Lost Souls had a much better ring to it, but hey-ho. It comes down to content in the end.

Cheers

Isn't it a proper place name, though? Kind of like "Asheville".

Labyrinth of Lost Souls was waaay better. And having the acronym be LOLS was harmless amusement.

:d Lols

Labyrinth of Lost Souls was an awesome name. "Thunderspire" sounds too 1990s Image Comics.

[Noun1][Noun2] names just don't have as much flair as [Noun2] of [Noun1].

Me, I would have named it the Soulbane Mazefane. That'll sell thousands and thousands of units.

Thunderville would be much cooler.
