And ORC is already in use for a couple RPGs, including my friend Brian King's <a href="http://www.vajraenterprises.com/ORC/" rel="nofollow">Organic Rules Components</a> system.<br /><br />@~t~: it's a little too generic, plus the word "clone" suggests SF specifically, although perhaps it's usable in a subtitle: "the original fantasy adventure clone".Talysmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162328521343832412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-41024432776112117292010-11-03T08:30:04.257-07:002010-11-03T08:30:04.257-07:00Choose a name thats meaningful to you. Don't ...Choose a name thats meaningful to you. Don't try to contrive something. Personally, I would also avoid a name that sounds too restrictive - yeah Dungeons & Dragons got away with it, but there's way too much of that already to the point that its comic. "Labrynth Lord" is probably the best example of bad naming. Is it a game about minotaurs? No. Is it a game about people who are really good at solving mazes? No. See what I mean?DHBoggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170439175265397893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-6698321292558848052010-11-03T07:42:04.238-07:002010-11-03T07:42:04.238-07:00I second Underworld Odyssey and Longbows & Bas...I second Underworld Odyssey and Longbows & Basilisks, but that second one is just because I like basilisks.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596442998967851832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-79902561201642049542010-11-03T00:26:18.662-07:002010-11-03T00:26:18.662-07:00ORC: Old-school Retro-Clone.

Honestly, I'd avoid going for an odd title simply to abbreviate to LBB or D&D or anything.<br /><br />No matter how close a clone this is supposed to be, you want it to stand up on its own too, and a good game name, something that evokes and intrigues.Malleusteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06135524200239163987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-12569229155923854992010-11-02T18:21:41.826-07:002010-11-02T18:21:41.826-07:00Personally, I like "the Clone Project".....Personally, I like "the Clone Project"... It's what pulled me in and has kept me reading your blog on a daily basis. You're doing a great job of capturing the way it was with a modern spin for simplicity and a talent for making what was old new again...<br /><br />Wothborawoðborahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18063323987268849437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-61180470328367773142010-11-02T18:17:18.558-07:002010-11-02T18:17:18.558-07:00Of the offered suggestions, I like Underworld Odys...Of the offered suggestions, I like Underworld Odyssey, or perhaps Odysseys?Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.com
