"Name My Rules!" Topic

I'm going to work now on my SciFi rules set and I need a name. Not tied to specific fluff, but aimed at the big-skirmish level where each player commands up to a platoon. Units are squads of about 10 figures each, players control 2-4 squads plus command.

Current working title is Eagles & Honor & Smoke.

I'm sure the Hive Mind here can do better

If you suggest a name and I end up suing it, fame, glory, groupies and a free copy will be yours!

Keeping with the Extra Crispy recipe, how about
Original Recipe SciFi rules? ;)

Seriously, Eagles, Honor, and Smoke sounds like a Napoleonic ruleset, although it does strike me as a great title for a game.

I don't want anyone "suing" my names so…

Lemme think about it. I agree with idontbelieveit. The current name sounds like a Napoleonic set.

Glory amongst the nebulae

"Seriously Crunchy"

"I Ain't Been Lazed Mum"

But you might want to get a nod from "someone" on that one…

"Altercatus"

I believe it can be used in that form……someone who knows Latin better than me would know!

"Universal Burnout"

But that's just me, these days …

Lasers & Honor? Blasters & Honor? Something that sound sci fi.

Agree with above, current title screams Napoleonic to me. How about…
Star skirmish
Planet squad
Star platoon
Galactic recon
No idea if these are used currently. I doubt it!

Galaxy Guard
The War At The End Of The Universe
Drones & Dropships
Planetfall
Dropship Platoon
ORBATs in orbit
Eternal War

Well that joke landed with a resounding "thud." With all the ribbing over the This & That name structure, I thought I was making a funny.

Happily, TMP has corrected that erroneous impression.

I kinda like Universal Burnout, and Glory Amongst the Nebulae…

what is the flavor or context of the rules--nations fighting in space, aliens, explorers?

If it's lots of varieties of tentacly aliens, then go with… "Squirmish!" ;-)

"Command & Conflict"

"Take'em Out!"

"The Forgotten War"

"Fire and Frenzy" or "Fire and Fury"

"We've Got Guns"

"Blood Beneath the Falling Stars"

"Glorplmzzx" (no idea what it means, but there it is)

"Death^3" ("Death cubed")

"In Defeat, Dishonor"

Drop Platoon

Eat Coherent Light, Alien!

Smoke'm

All the Usual CBRN

Depends on if you are looking for a serious name or a sort of funny one.

Pigbear and I are on the same page.

"Lased to a Crisp"

Note: "lazed" would have connotations of laziness.

Have blaster will travel

Strikes me as more of a pulpy, small-skirmish ruleset, but I like that one!

"Feet first into Hell"?

"On the bounce!"?

Far, far away.

Crispy, I'd be happy if you named them "Sootysmoke and Lazers " after my cat and mate who has gone missing this last week ,( miss the VM.

"Boots on the Ground"

"First to Go, Last to Know"

"Just Another Bug Hunt"

+1 Don't Laze Me Bro

I sort of like Hive Mind,…..

How about Whispering Death

Drop Rangers

For Glory and Mega-Creds

Planet Head (as in beach head, but on a planet)
On second thought, if I have to explain it, it can't be very good.

Oh and one I just thought up all on my own, Don't Lase Me Bro (thanks for the chuckle Pigbear)

First to Fall, First to Fight (drop troopers)

Just another day in paradise

Another Glorious Day in the Corps

A handful of stars…….

Star Sargent. Even after 500 years it is still the NCO that holds the squad and platoons together. There are still 90 day wonder lieutenants that show up to guide the drops onto all the planets that we have to take but when it comes down to the meat being cut by the metal, the men and women still look to their STAR SARGENT!

Now you are going to have to really work on a set of rules!

Galactic Genocide

Blasters of Glory!

Space Terrestrial Army Reconnaissance Wars (STARWARS) ;)

More seriously, how about Drop Ship Troopers

I like Ground Pounders but it seems that someone is using it.

sots-groundpounders.com

Maybe Galactic Glory

Glorious Flaming Eagle Swords of the Galaxy!

@Chortle:

The rules are written and have been playtested, at least in their original draft. So that part is kinda done. What I need to do now is clean up the draft, and start in on some army lists. So right now I'm researching cool ranges to develop lists for.

@ the OFM:

That's taken – it's GW's new game. Though you can't copyright titles…

@ Evil Gong:

Clever. I like it.

I like Drop Ship Troopers but that's awful close to the Mongoose Game…A Handful of Stars is kinda cool and poetic sounding…Fury In the Galaxy (and Fury in the Slaughterhouse could be the official house band)…

Here a few of my favorite phrases that might work for titles.

Ranger's Lead the Way

Boots on the Ground

Do You Want to Live Forever?

Strength and Honor

A couple that would catch my attention

Plasma Patrol
A Few Good Men
Gotta Jet
The Thin Oxygen Line
Our Way…
Gravity Sucks

I thought you had it at first Post,Crispy:
"fame, glory,and groupies"

Space invaders (except its an old video game--sigh!)
