Of games without names

Some time back, I [[http://raven.phoenyx.net/mutterings/20040905.html|started up a superhero game]], but I could never come up with a name for it. And this caused more than a little frustration, because being unable to come up with a name tells me that I didn't have a good handle on what the game was about. And if you'll recall, I've been struggling with trying to figure out [[http://raven.phoenyx.net/mutterings/20050326.html|where it's going]].

Well, last week I finally came up with a name for the "season."

In the Shadow of the Blood-Red King

At last, the game has a direction and I know, more or less, where it's going. I'm still having some trouble with some of the details, but this helps a lot. And letting my players know the name is fun foreshadowing. :)

I don't know what the "series" name is, but that's not so important... superhero comics are generally named after the hero or the team name, and our team doesn't have a name yet.
