What would be a good Sci-Fi RPG Title

[Daneel Olivaw]

G2V

Starside

Farside

 

[Flynn]

• Future Perfect
• OGL Alternate Futures (if it were D20-based)
• Future Worlds (or Future Stars)
• Beyond Earth
• Worlds Beyond
• Future Concepts
• Universal Concepts (I was planning on using it for one of my systems, but I would offer it up to Hunter if he wanted to use it)

Some more to consider,
Flynn

...
Starside...

Na Uh! Can't have Starside, that's my tag line! I stole it fair and square :smirk:

 

[far-trader]

Hmm, did someone already say Infinite Worlds? And where was it used before?

Or maybe Infinite Suns. Or Infinite Stars. Or Infinite Futures. Or...

I think I'm getting Infinite loopitis

 

[mhensley]

I consult the galactic book of synonyms for Traveller and get-

Adventurer
Drifter
Explorer
Journeyer
Navigator
Nomad
Roamer
Sojourner
Starfarer
Trekker
Voyager
Wanderer
Wayfarer

Farside

Can I play a cow?

 

[far-trader]

Can I play a cow?

:rofl:

K'kree would fit wouldn't it

You know I'd all but forgotten about Gary Larson and The Far Side till you said that

 

[Klaus]

Navigator

The Vanishing Point

both are working titles of of and on projects I'm working on, one a Flash game, one an anime.


Maybe one day I'll get summat done.......

 

[Kharum1]

Muckrunner
or
In the Midst of Heaven

 

[The Thing]

Endless future

Infintie future.

Voyage to the future.

 

[aramis]

"The Future" is too close, IMO, to "D20 Future."
"The Future Now" implies strongly "D20F Modern"

 

[tikio]

Rules of the infinite.

 

[The Thing]

How about "Who farted in my spacesuit?!"

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Nova
Terra Nova
New Worlds
Alien Skies

 

[ravells]

How about "Who farted in my spacesuit?!"

That really did make me laugh out loud - good thing I had swallowed my lunch before I read your post. I had no idea that my sense of humour was so infantile!

other (more lyrical) suggestions:

Touching the void (yeah I know it's a book about a mountain climbing accident; but it would work here)
Eternal Dawn
In sight of the infinite

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Edge of Infinity
Starlight
FTL

 

[Mytholder]

At one point a few years ago, I was fiddling with the outline for a Traveller-like sci-fi game which was labouring under the working title of "Space Trader". I just found the doc where I argued for alternate titles:

• Demimonde
• Marquesman
• Free Trader
• Vagabond
• KnaveSpace
• Scroungers
• Salvage Rights

Oh, and at some point, I will finish my Invader Zim-inspired "YOUR PUNY PLANET IS DOOMED, EARTHLING!"

"So if you were designing a new Sci-Fi RPG what would you consider to be a good 'catchy' name for it?"

Any name that does NOT include ANY of the following words:

"Academy"
"Adventure(s)"
"Alien(s)"
"Cadet"
"Captain"
"Chapter" (1, 2, 3, 4, ...)
"Command"
"Commander"
"Galaxy"
"Infinity"
"Light-Year"
"Mutant"
"Part" (I, II, III, IV, ...)
"Patrol"
"Space"
"Star"
"Trek"
"Voyage"
"Wars"
"X" (Hyphenated or used as a word)
"Zelda" (You had to be there. Just trust me on this one)

 

[chshrkt]

My .02 CrImps....

Frictionless
Galactic Mergers

This all came to me in a rush when reviewing the thread...

Stellar Footsteps
Infinite Footsteps
Frictionless Footsteps
Galactic Footsteps

I am liking the visual image of the word "footsteps" for some reason.

Could you share your reasoning for excluding these words. I think both infinity and galaxy would make fine game titles, either on thier own. Some of the others woukd make a good title when joined together.

Galaxy Voyages, Infinite Voyages, Starlight, Deep space voyages etc...
