Like Necromancer's Tale but Dark Wind? It would depend on the narrative but... -- The Last V-8 -- Butane (if it were about that famous clan that cooks and eats their enemy) -- Breakfast with Butane (maybe a little Breakfast at Tiffanys twist?) -- Dark Highways (could to this as a franchise name then specific adventures like: -- Dark Highways: The Badlands Conflict -- Dark Highways: Escape from Firelight Personally I don't care much for single player, in fact I dislike it, BUT I would most likely buy it anyway just to support your efforts.  I prefer the MMO side or even a shared dynamic world like in Elite Dangerous that you could PLAY solo inside but the effects of each player would impact the world as a whole... ......................... vet wv gwped paintladder paintball marshal raceL10,1,0 Posted Jan 24, 2021, 6:51 am Last edited Jan 24, 2021, 6:55 am by *StCrispin*

*StCrispin* Beasts of the Lair Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,657 Joined: Feb 13, 2012 Though I do thing "War on Wheels" franchise name is a good idea. War on Wheels: Out of the Ruins War on Wheels: Dark Highways War on Wheels: Breakfast with Butane You didn't happen to become inspired about set piece battles from my post on "Starting Backgrounds" by any chance, did you?  Because you could shoehorn that suggestion into DW after working the kinks out in your new project. If you went with War on Wheels you might want to change the title of DW:WoW to War on Wheels: The Dark Wind, however I think the name is trademarked by an author named Tony Hillerman and is part of a Crime Novel series about Navajo Tribal Police and was the 5th in the series about the guy in it, and was made into a movie starring the Filippino-American actor Lou Diamond Phillips The Dark Wind ......................... vet wv gwped paintladder paintball marshal raceL10,1,0 Posted Jan 24, 2021, 6:58 am Last edited Jan 24, 2021, 7:09 am by *StCrispin*

Dark-Wind:Blood-Desert <- It's a nod to Mythic Quest and it looks our little hyphen problem right in the eye. One of the goals of the SPG is, perhaps, to continue to build this community. So leveraging what branding and name recognition we can to continue to build this community may be a part of the consideration. I've never been a fan of the War On Wheels because of the confusion with WOW, and because DW isn't really War at all. It's guerilla skirmishes and raids. So the obvious choice is Dark-Wind/[Symbol of Place] taken from the primary narrative used.  I have always liked how Elizabeth Boyer does this. Terry Brooks too. That would make the URL DARK-WIND.COM/ChanglingofSomerset Or something like that. As Sam realizes the whole world wants more of these, it's easy to just do single-player versions. But that is somewhat dependent on the Narrative having a traditional single player as hero structure. One of the MANY things I love in DW (which I call DW, incidentally) is the team management part. So could this single player game be similar to the current game where you manage a group thru a narrative and the characters are somewhat of your own making? Dark-Wind/GunsGearsGuts2Go is my submission. ......................... vet wv cont Posted Feb 3, 2021, 4:02 pm

Team-based play is a core part of anything DW related I think. It was originally a way to enable perma-death in an MMO style game. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Feb 3, 2021, 9:30 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 I have seen arguments against games being called "The Something: Something Else" as the subtitle can give the impression that it's an expansion or something else that requires an earlier game to have been played first. Quote: I've never been a fan of the War On Wheels because of the confusion with WOW, and because DW isn't really War at all. It's guerilla skirmishes and raids. That was actually the joke, originally (World of Warcraft was of course massive at the time that DW was first being built). ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Feb 4, 2021, 12:31 pm

BWGunner DriveByRomance Autodueller Renegade Group: Storytellers + IP Posts: 413 Joined: Mar 22, 2008 You mean how "Dungeons & Dragons: Neverwinter Nights" makes people think they need to play all 5 previous version of the entire D&D system with dice and strangers before they can install it and have fun? Nope, I don't buy that argument. You have an educated base of passionate advocates. The only option is brand extension. The question is how and why and where to extend it. PICK YOUR CONSTANT: A. Dark B. Wind C. – (cause in D&D it's totally the &) ......................... vet wv cont Posted Feb 5, 2021, 4:32 pm Last edited Feb 5, 2021, 4:55 pm by BWGunner
