What do you call your company of adventurers?

[Woas]

I roll a d6, with each number corresponding to the letters a through f. Then use that letter and call them <one of the NATO alphabetical call words from a to f> Squad.

We never named our groups, though 'F Troop' or the 'Lost Patrol' would have been appropriate.

Good idea though. I'll encourage the players (I DM) to come up with a group name.

My group hasn't named themselves, so they're effectively just the Greyhawk Adventurers Guild, Wing 3. (Each wing in the Guild HQ houses 8 people; I have 4 players, each of whom runs 2 PCs. Which specific PCs go out on each adventure is up to each player, based on who they want to build up with more XP and whose class talents seem best suited to the adventure at hand.)

The Basilegate. Then again, they work for the Empire. So it fits.

 

[TheAuldGrump]

I tend to run Steam Era games, so the adventuring agencies often have names like Prospects LLC. (Yes, sometimes they incorporate....)

The Auld Grump and other times they are working for agencies, such as the Baltimore Group - an innocuous name unless you know what Baltimore means....

 

[Lanefan]

Played in:

"Team Overkill" - so named because our usual way of dealing with *anything* (even including a single 6 h.p. Goblin) was to start chucking the multi-dice heavy-damage spells until the neighbourhood was thoroughly sterilized!

"Company of the Green Cloak" - so named because by concidence at one point every PC mini except one had been painted (either by us or by WotC) with a green cloak.

Lots of other un-named groups, sometimes referred to by where they usually adventured in the world (e.g. "northern", "eastern", etc.) or by what night the games are (e.g. "Friday", "Sunday", etc.)

DMed:

"The Enterprise Company" - so named because the local laws required all adventuring groups to have a name, and this was the best they could come up with.

"Main" and "Split" - so named because one party split off from the other. The pre-division group then retroactively got named "United". Exciting, huh?

The three groups in my current campaign have started referring to themselves as "Alpha", "Beta", and "Gamma" games but haven't actually named their parties yet; I really hope that at some point they do. That said, the all-female-PC "Gamma" group may be slowly on their way to naming themselves "Team Makeover"; we'll see.

Our current 4e group is called the Ravenguard, which split off from a parent group, The Raven and the Rose.

 

[cattoy]

My inner voice calls them "those smacktards"

Granted, some of them are playing in their first 4e game, but seriously...

 

[Aran Thule]

In Shackled City, we called ourselves the Cauldron Private Watch, and I came up with a rather disturbing logo and flyer for us, which my character - a Changeling - thought was perfectly normal and impressive-looking.

Nice poster, i like the disclaimer.
In our Shackled City adventure we also had to get a group name to get the shop discount.
After much debate we came up with Kessel Runners, probably not the most heroic of names but the Stormblades seem to get credit for all our victories anyway.

 

[Holy Bovine]

In our Scales of War game we are the Warbound (taken from the Planet Hulk comic series)
In my Eberron game the party got named the Golden Claws for an early adventure aboard the airship the Golden Dragon
In 2 other games I'm in the party is, so far, nameless.
