travellerne Posted November 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Campaign Brainstorming: Name of the Holy Planet? HI All, I'm looking for some ideas for names for the planet (ringworld actually) that is the Church headquarters. I'm not happy with: New Mecca - it's been done a lot already Holy Planet - variant of Holy See but not very imaginative What could be exotic, somewhat grand, sound ecclesiastical and yet sound original? Thanks, TNE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Major Tom Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: Campaign Brainstorming: "The New Abbey" Let's see... it's a ringworld upon which this interstellar ecclesiasty has chosen to establish its primary seat of power... why not keep it simple and call it "The Halo"?

Guest Major Tom Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: Monk's Garb? More to the point' date=' the Amish decide what role new tech will play in their lives. They use cell phones at work to do business, but they have no place in the home. Rather than being "anti-technology", perhaps they have elaborate rules for how tech may be used. For example, only high priests may send and recieve interstellar communications, and followers may only travel between stars in groups of 12 or more...[/quote'] One possible name that could be used for the Amish-type group would be Quorumists (inspired by the word "quorum", meaning any gathering of 12 or more individuals).
