This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Best RPG name?

Oooh, that reminds me of a classic:  Chill.

The Yann Waters

Quote from: MaddmanI hear translations in RPGs are generally pretty bad.
Well, after picking up the Finnish translation of The Shadow of Yesterday from the library, I'll have to say that it could have been much more polished.
Previously known by the name of "GrimGent".

el diablo robotico

Someone already posted one of my favorites - Boothill. But a lot of the old school TSR games had nice, short, evocative names - Gamma World, Star Frontiers, Top Secret...

Two of my favorite more recent games: Engel and Orpheus
 

Sigmund

My favorite game name has always been Paranoia.

Oh, and I've always liked Munchkin and SPANC too. SJG has great game names.

Quote from: John Morrow;418271I role-play for the ride, not the destination.

Knightsky

Another vote for Boot Hill.

Despite my love for the game, I've occasionally had problems with players getting the wrong impression of Villains & Vigilantes... the latter desciptor has occasionally had people thinking of the Punisher and other similar characters, when the game is actually very four-color in it's approach.

Dominus Nox

I'd like to vote for an ancient classic that cries out to be done in a new system, even gurps (Tho I'd hatye to see jackson profit from it...)

Living Steel.

The name comes from the term that an imperial unit used to describe it's attackers the first time they were hit by power armored enemy troops.
RPGPundit is a fucking fascist asshole and a hypocritial megadouche.

mattormeg

Quote from: jrientsGreat choices so far.  All Flesh Must Be Eaten is a perfect name for a zombie game.

That's always been my favorite game title.

mattormeg

Quote from: flyingmiceI always read that as "Werewolf the Foreskin."

Very appropriate for some of the WTF fans I know.

mattormeg

Quote from: TechnomancerD20 SRD. Hands down the most inspiring, evocative title ever.

My serious vote is for The Riddle of Steel.  Didn't take to the game, but the title captures the spirit of what I want in a fantasy RPG.

Props for the "Conan the Barbarian" reference, too.

mattormeg

Quote from: Andy KI am probably biased, but I think that MAGESTRIKE: ULTIMUS is the best name for a game, ever.

You can't see it, but I'm throwing you the devil horns hand signal.

Quote from: mattormegYou can't see it, but I'm throwing you the devil horns hand signal.

I think we have a smiley for that.

Ah, yes.
