Vapourware What would you name a 1600's swashbuckling game?

[Stella Brando]

Imagine a game with cavaliers, pirates, gentleman highwaymen, musketeers, duelists, puritans, chandelier swingers, and of course, more sword-fights than you can shake a rapier at.

What would you call it?

 

[SoupNazi]

Of Steel and Gunpowder

 

[Stella Brando]

SoupNazi, always good to see you here.

 

[ExposedBrainMatter]

Add rockclimbing mechanics so it can be Pirates of the Carabiner.

 

[Dramart]

-The Masters of the Sword
-Supreme Dueling Ultimate
-Legendary Swordsmen
-Warriors of the Codex
-Brave until death
Or some name that has to do with the last survivor winning like the last man standing wins the whores

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

 

[Scruffy]

Rapiers and Rapists

 

[agris]

Imagine a game with cavaliers, pirates, gentlemen highwaymen, musketeers, duelists, puritans, chandelier swingers, and of course, more sword-fights than you can shake a rapier at.

What would you call it?

The Blazing Codpiece.

 

[Wunderbar]

Booty Plunderers

 

[Ghulgothas]

On Stranger Tides.
Jolly Rogers.
Pirates and Privateers: Epic Adventure on the High Seas.

Alternatively.
Tales from the Good Ship Venus.
One Man's Sloop is Another Man's Junk.

[ERYFKRAD]

Rifles and riposte.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Powdered but Whole

 

[mondblut]

If it's an RPG, it should follow the classic naming convention. Jungles & Journeymen, Ships & Swashbucklers, Prisons & Pirates.

Note that it absolutely must be [P]lacesofsomekind & [P]eopleofsomekind, not just some random two words jumbled together. This is the way.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Seamen on the poopdeck

 

[Stella Brando]

Wait till you hear how New Zealanders say 'deck.'

 

[Falksi]

You need a trilogy:

• I'm Selling These Fine Leather Jackets
• Look Behind You, A Three Headed Monkey
• How Appropriate, You Fight Like A Cow

En Garde, Rogue! - Tales of Great Derring-Do

 

[I'm Big Into Anal]

Spoiler

Slice

did a google search and this name hasnt been given to a game

 

[Stella Brando]

I found En Garde is already taken, dammit.

How about a Robocop inspired name -- 'State of the Art Ching Ching'



* * *



Generally I'm in favour of either the simple:


A Cavalier Attitude


~~or, combining two names into the super long and silly:


CHING! CHING! CHING!
The Game of Swashes &
Those that Buckle Them


Really long names were all the rage in those days, anyway:

 

[laclongquan]

Codex of High Seas

That way is pirate theme but still can stretch across other topics.

[spectre]

Cutlass? Can have stuff added up front. The Jagged Cutlass, Black Cutlass, Crooked Cutlass, Planetscape Cutlass, the Age of Cutlass
Stand and Deliver, depends on how much it focuses on rogues and highwaymen.
