Staredit Network -> Ideas -> Help Me Name My RPG

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Nozomu on 2005-01-07 at 00:11:25

Okay, guys, I'm working on an RPG and I'm trying to think of a name for the frickin' thing. It's about these inhuman monsters called "Psychae" who're trying to keep the human from declaring war on them. It's already over a meg and only has about 40 seconds of low-quality sounds added, so about 500 kb of that is from triggers. Problem is, I need a name. It's sort of a sequel to the crappiest map I ever released, Wrath of the Dragons RPG, which I made a few years ago. You can find it in the DLDB if you look. Anyway, I need a name for it, but I can't come up with one. Something along the lines of "Wrath of the Psychae RPG" is a bad idea, and so is "Return of the Psychae RPG". Anyone have any cool ideas? It doesn't have to have the stupid word "Psychae" in it at all. "Legacy"-something would be nice, and so would "Prism"-something... I dunno, just if you have any cool words like that that I could add on or use, it would be great.

Exact same problem as I have.
I don't like to use any name for currency that is or has been in use, nor do I like to use overused names, such as gil or gold.
I'm not really good at names, but here's some random on-the-spot ones...
Mire(My-Er)
Lead(Leed)
Nuks
Liks
Ore
Mel

I analyzed the ideas heretofore posted, and my conclusion is that I should make up a three-letter word with two consonants and a vowel in the middle, and end it with "L". Therefore, I'm going with "Bel". Thanks to all who helped, you'll see the map soon, etc. etc. etc. Now, go to the first post to help me with a new problem.

This is totally allowing you to rip me off, but since im telling you this name i guess its not a rip off is it. But try 1 or 2 of These.

1.Psychae: Legacy of the "Watevr"
2.Chronicles of the Psychae(try to use something except Psychae)
3.Wrath of the Psychae
4.Psychae: Turning of the tide.

I could think up some cooler stuff but i don't know the story. If I knew what Prism was for i coulda used that too. Well goodluck with your map Hope I get to see it

Not giving away the story, sorry, but I like those ideas, especially "Chronicles" of whatever. Maybe the "Chronicles of _______ RPG". "Harmonious Planet RPG". I dunno, but keep trying. That was a definite brain-starter-upper.

1 :: Legacy of Prism
2 :: Legacy of Psychae
3 :: Psychae Legacy
4 :: A Prism's Tale
5 :: Evolution of Psychae
6 :: Prism Destiny
7 :: Darkest Hour

Btw a map name doesnt have to revolve around what a map is about all the time...
Maybe you could just come up with a simple name like those above or one other..
And put the name of the word in latin.. or some random ancient language...? just a thought.. Goodluck

Come on, guys, I normally wouldn't bump because it's in bad taste to do so, but I need help! Just write a name off the top of your head.

Okay. This shouldn't be too hard. The way I thought of a name for my RPG was simple, much like getting scientific names for animals. I know you might have played mine, I'm not sure; but it's a completely cliche map about evil gods ruling a world since the existance of Earth. Now let's break down the name of my RPG:

Everarcha - Full name
Ever-Archa - Split
Ever = Always/Since
Archa = Archy/Heirarchy = Rule/Government
So, basically, Everarcha basically would mean Ever-Ruling ta da!

Try and do something like that.

Hey what was wrong with my name!! haha anyway since when is a name that important the map name doesnt make the map... you and the person playing it makes the map... people will look at the name say ok kewl and be like ok anywho

Soul Of Pyshce
Heart and Courage
Soulof sword
i like names that are dark and kind of cold hearted... anyway what i like another person would hate.. and vice versa so personally i dont really think a name for a map is THAT important. if your map is a "sequal" or a "remake" to your original map just make it your original map name... or put ur original map name in another language or form of art type... yea my 2 cents

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Nozomu on 2005-01-08 at 03:25:34

Actually the name does make the map. Would you play Everarcha RPG if it was called "Dark Gods RPG", or something similarly cliché? Hell no. Thanks for the tips, Mp)3, I'll make use of them.

I like original names. What about a name that is not related to the RPG? Something original and curious that makes people think "WTF is this?" So they play it to test it and if they like it they will play it again and again. Its how lots of games are made.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by chuiu on 2005-01-08 at 07:41:23

Yeah man, I just played "WTF is this" the other day and that map owns. You can choose any one of over 30 hero's to play as, there is a custom health counter on every good guy and enemy, levels control HP and attack and defense, and he even has a decent story line.

Yep, "WTF is this" is a true RPG.

I'm going to go with "The Champion Chronicles", because it is both relevant and has a nice ring to it. Case (and thread) closed. I'll make a production thread for it sometime early this week, so keep your eyes out.
