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.

Name that ship!

Quote from: ghost ratThat depends. What kind of ship is it? Typical tramp freighter?
Sort of. Its a freighter in a space opera. Think Traveller. But not actually Traveller.

Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet.

The Angel of Shylock, very appropriate for a merchant vessel.

Or if you are feeling campy, the Free Enterprise.

'Charon's Ferry'


Or just 'Death and Taxes'.

I can't find or remember, but didn't the ferry of Charon have a name?

Dr Rotwang!

The Purple Twilight, and the players can be the pilots...

Or it can be the Magic Bus, from another rock-n-roll song.

My three favorites from previous games have been the Tertiary Virgin, The War Bastard, and the Temporary Solution. Other notable space faring vessels have included the Lumpy Bitch (designed to be non-atmospheric), the Pre-Nup Payoff (and its sister vessel, the much larger and more heavily armed Lifestyle To Which I Am Accustomed - space pirate divorces can be messy), and of course, the Tyrant-class Worldcracker capital ship, Her Majesty's Imperial Warship Fluffykins Starchaser (expansionist alien species + hereditary autocracy + humor = 9 year old Empress who gets to commision every ship constructed).

Then again, my ship names are almost almost humorous, so they might not fit your tone.
Heroism is no more than a chapter in a tale of submission.
