New Company Needs Help with Name Take 2

[Neruda7]

Hello All,
This community has been such an inspiration to me as an aspiring PDF publisher that I wanted you all to have some input into the naming of my company.

The campaign, adventures, and source books will be 3.5 in a dark, mid to low magic, fantasy setting.

Thanks in advance to all who participate - it is very much appreciated...

Regards,
Scott

Voted for Black Anvil, but I also kinda like "Grim Ledger"

Best of luck to you!

 

[Nightfall]

I did the same as Biggie.

I voted other

My suggestions are in your other thread.

I voted for Grim Ledger, But Black Anvil has a nice ring to it as well.

I had to vote "Other". I'd probably avoid companies with names like the list above. A mildly ofensive list. Black Anvil is the least outright offputting, but I'd still probably avoid it.

Dark Art, Foul Brethren, Gut Puppet, Seven Sins, Fallen Virtue and Amoral Oracle are just way too prone to attracting flack from the "moral majority". It's silly, but probably something you should keep in mind for a company name.

That leaves Black Anvil, Chaos Theory and Grim Ledger - not surprisingly the ones which are in the lead right now! Of those, "Chaos Theory" sounds very blah. It's about as good a name for a RPG company as "Special Relativity" (relativity = fantasy, alternate reality - get it? me neither...)

Thanks for all of the feedback - every opinion is quite interesting in its own way. Keep those opinions coming...

Regards,

I'm not sure I like any of the names listed... Then again I don't like most gaming company names.

I think I would like for something either instantly recognizable as gaming related... or I would go for something somewhat obscure... and when I say obscure, I mean Shakespearean....

Prospero Press... (Prospero being the mage in "The Tempest")

Full Fathom Five, Inc. (keeping on "The Tempest" this comes from a line in the play)

you get the idea...

Dr. Anomalous, what do you find "offputing" or "mildly offensive" about the names? Well, besides Gut Puppet, that is rather offputing. I am not disputing your feelings towards the names, just trying to better understand them.

Thanks,
Scott
