Guild has the right feel for an RPG setting. I like it spells out RPG and we can just refer to it as the Guild (not that famous youtube series but that's a nice tie in).

I like CornerHavenGames some, or something with "stories/adventures/tales" in it sounds cool, too. Not a new/helpful suggestion, just support for those ideas already posed.

I think we should consider keeping the Brennor's name as a legacy thing and a way of honoring Brennor for founding the site. (Unless, of course, Brennor would like to see his name removed from association with the site.)

Barring that, I like the term guild. Maybe something like The Gamers' Guild? I also like atlas, since it implies a collection of worlds, but I'm not quite sure how to make it work. The Living Atlas maybe, since we're constantly creating new worlds and adding to new ones--but the connection to RPGs is less clear there. The Living Atlas of the Imagination perhaps--but that's long.

Adventurer's Atlas
Atlas of Myth
Role Player's Atlas

Yeah Atlas has the right feel to it, but I can't seem to make it work either.

I kinda like RPG, Role Player's Guild so far out of what we have. We have some time but I'd love to have a name picked out by say Monday?

GuildofLegends
GuildofAdventure
GuildofTales
StorycraftersGuild
AtlasofAdventure
GuildofLostLegends
GuildofMyths

Besides Role Player's Guild, the GamersGuild is also simple and short, and it works.

How about giving the thread 7 days? I tend to think of interesting stuff as a background process of doing other things, so maybe someone will think of a cool name or word over the weekend and they might not post until Tues or Wed of next week.

Yeah, Gamers Guild sounds good.

But alas, GamersGuild.com is taken and costs $25,000 to buy from a domain squatter. I don't think we can raise that much money :p
