Doug McCrae Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 So far there's Conquerors, Killers & Crooks and Villains, Vandals & Vermin. Lets help HERO games by coming up with a title for their next book of bad guys. My suggestion: Monsters, Mercenaries & Miscreants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steriaca Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Re: Title for the next HERO villains book I would try Mutants, Misfites, and Murderers myself. Basicly covers a lot of ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, for a second I thought it was a suggestion for 3-Stooges villainy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm... Head-Honchos and Henchmen (it only has two nouns, but it does use 3 Hs) And anyway, I'm kind of waiting for a book full of good guys.

Guest Major Tom Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Re: Title for the next HERO villains book How about Rogues' Gallery? It's a simple, yet straightforward title. Besides, if the term itself is good enough for the comic-book companies to use, then it ought to be good enough to use as the title for a supervillain supple- ment, right?

Major Tom Back in, like, 1982 they used the Rogue's Gallery as a title for a bunch of generic npcs of various levels and a few "personalities" for use in 1st Edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. Later on, I think they did another version of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Long Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Re: Title for the next HERO villains book Fiends, Felons and Foes That one's actually pretty good, though I might rearrange the word order. As someone observed, we definitely don't want to use a title that abbreviates to an abbreviation we already use, like MMM. It's annoying enough to Tina that we have two titles this year that abbreviate "VA." Similarly, it has to be small enough of a title to fit on a cover, or else it drives Andy nuts. I rejected Sorcerers, Spirits, And Super-Mages as the title for AA for that (and several other) reasons -- it has two long words. One long word (as in CKC or NKN) is OK, two is problematic.

So I'm guessing Lamebrains, Lightweights, And Losers wouldn't work, even for a humor-oriented Enemies book?
