So, I'm changing my company name

[Urizen]

After much debate, I've decided that it's time for a name change.

So.. that said, I'm going to open the floor up to suggestions.

Heck, let's make it a Contest!

Every contest needs a prize, so....

How's about 100 bucks, to be paid via paypal to the winner, and a free copy of an as-of-yet to be announced product in development (believe you me, when it's announced, you'll love it.)?

This contest will run until midnight on the 30th of September.

People who are interested in entering, please email me your entry.

My email address is:

mdavidjarvis AT yahoo DOT com.

Good luck!

How come? Deviant not quite the market image you want to put forth? Want something catchier? Something else?

I'm surprised by this too. You've built up quite a (well-deserved) reputation for excellence and customer satisfation under the Reality Deviant banner. And I'm under the impression now that sort of reputation is apparently hard to come by, even when you are that good, in the small press/PDF RPG publisher game after reading about One Bad Egg.

Still, it's not unheard of - the very reputable Precis Intermedia Games (PIG) was once Politically Incorrect Games.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

There's another company out there that has a name similar to mine (Reality Blurs), and they are well-respected by the Savage Worlds Community. As I'm starting to develop some products for that arena, I feel it is necessary to change my company name, both out of respect for Reality Blurs, and also to avoid customer confusion.

I've heard from a number of people (on forums, emails and in phone conversations) that have confused our two companies because our names are so similar.

Also, I'm kind of ambivalent about this company name. When I first started in 2005 ( wow, 4 years, I should celebrate with a sale), my primary goal was to get setup as a publisher so I could enter Blood Throne in Green Ronin's True20 setting search contest, and I just sort of threw the name together at the last moment.

Now, I'm looking for something that feels right in terms of my company, where I'm headed, what types of projects I've published and am working on, etc.

I hope this answers your questions and concerns.

Thanks for the entries!

Please avoid the words reality or deviant in the new name.
