Monte Carlo Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 Have reviewed the thread. Meshugger's titles were awesome, but for a number of reasons (most of them to do with meltdown on my spell-checker) I'm going with Darth InSidious' Dark Shadows Rising: Hordes of the Narcolich It's awful, and just right. Darth wins an NPC cameo within DSR:HotN(L) (I love the acronym, it has just the right level of self-important meta-knowledge one finds on gaming forums). He will probably be either (a) a cute kobold © a minor-level boss villain, altho Lucasarts might sue) or © a cuddly pet owned by a hulking warrior NPC.

Meshugger Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Oh dear What an awesomely bad title.

Oner Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 ,o/ Suggestion: Put rising after the colon, Dark Shadows Rising sounds a bit cooler than Rising Hordes.

Darth InSidious Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 need an "Age of" in the title. Hmm. I was thinking an extra colon could really add to the awfulness. Age of Darkness: Shadows Rising: Hordes of the Narcolich? This gives the acronym AoD:SR:HotN. This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter.

Monte Carlo Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 I guess the next phase is suggesting REALLY AWFUL prestige classes for the Bowl World campaign (DSR:HotNL). Bowl World is the top secret working title, BTW. We have - Warrior Maiden of Laaaa Gladys Knight Grim Dark Elven Scimitar Ninja --- Ninjas and katanas clearly have a role in The Worst Fantasy Setting Ever. We aren't necessarily using D&D. In fact, key stats will be - POWANESS: How much power you have to smite your enemies HOTNESS: How hot your character looks AWESOMENESS: How all-round awesome your character is FLIP-OUT AND KILL PEOPLE-NESS: Your ability to do "Neo-from-the-Matrix" type moves MAGICALNESS: How much mana you have to fuel youe special moves Obviously, this is ripped directly form 4E D&D, but am open to suggestions that we actually go to the other extreme and create over-nerdy stat-based, hugely complicated and overblown system where you have stat points for beard length, ability to play cards and pitch a tent. Will post FAQs soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
