[QUOTE="Patlin, post: 4168421, member: 17264"] I dislike the idea of adventurers as a class of people, and prefer the PCs to be more unique. As such, I'd prefer the specific to the general. "Captain Gaza and the Red Company" or "The New Argonauts" or whatever suits the particular group of PCs. If you want to organize your campaign around it, you could even have the PCs be an elite strike force for their government, and call them something like "Squad 7." Instead of the ever-reliable "You all meet up in a tavern" scenario, each character recieves orders from their militia commander to report to the castle, where the King is assembling a squad composed of the best men from each of his five companies. To get a less martial flavor, the King might also have made the same request of the local temple and his mage-advisor. Then the citizenry could refer to them by whatever ranks you chose to assign. "Knight-Captain" or "Lieutenant" might be good alternatives to "Adventurer." [/QUOTE]
