Let’s roast some great RPGs for their absolutely god-awful names

My job demands constant generation of headlines, so I get it: Coming up with titles for things is hard. But is it really as hard as the RPG genre makes it seem? Compared to all the other genres, RPG titles tend to, well, suck.

To prove the point, I developed a foolproof, objective method for critiquing the names of RPGs: the NameRanx™ system. I am following the example of my dear friend’s “Girlfriend’s Dad” test for rating beers. If your romantic partner’s father asked you your favorite beer, would you be embarrassed to say the name out loud? Could you hold your head high and say “Guinness” or “Bell’s Two Hearted,” or would you have to sheepishly mumble something like “Old Bastard Brewing’s Epic Bacon Coffee Cookie Porter (it’s their winter seasonal)?”
