Adventure or Session Titles

Cancer · July 8, 2018

At times I find it amusing to create titles for sessions or adventures (a set of several sessions with a single resolution). Sometimes I pass these on to my players; often they're spoilers so I'm the only one who sees them. It happens also that I will change my planned course when I decide the title that wasn't right was cooler than my plan.

Examples:

Nowhere Beach
Going for the Mister Gold {Mr Gold was the alias of the villain}
The God of Music's Back-Up Band
A Conversation with a Dragon
Backwoods Gangbangers

If you've done the same kind of thing, consider posting your titles for others' possible use!

Every one of my Champions adventures has a title. Most are fairly pedestrian (Into the VIPER Nest, Songs of Summoning, Bug Hunt, etc.), but some are more fun (at least to me).

When I introduced the supervillain group A-Team (all members have names beginning with "A"), the adventure title was A Plan Comes Together.

One adventure in November featuring vampires was titled Happy Fangsgiving.

And in December, when the heroes fought the New Gods, it was Merry Zeusmas.

Other titles:

Foxbatty Fed
New Year's Revolutions
Something Fishy
Mall Madness

If you were to put that quote into the mouth of, e.g., an NPC scientist who created some menace that he could not control, you could use this quite literally as a title!

And it has more gravitas than "Eure....oppsidoodle!"

This is something I do intermittently. And more often with supers games than other genres.

But it is something I mean to do more of.

Ok how’s this? For a short adventure featuring Time Master. “A time of change!”

I come up with titles for all of my adventures. Some are better than others, of course. I don't usually come up with one until after the session, in case the players do something that would suggest a better title than I had in mind while writing it. They can all be seen at the Obsidian Portal links in my sig, but here are the better ones:

Jurassic Quark - a particle collider accident creates a breach between dimensions and the team is pitted against intelligent, evolved dinosaurs.

The Shocking Dead - the team fights electric zombies...cross that one off the bucket list.

He Ain't Hedgy, He's My Brother - long story short, a PC with a plant-based origin discovers his long-lost brother, who transforms into what is basically a gigantic, walking tree of destruction.

Nano He Didn't - The mad scientist father of a PC's girlfriend infects the team with nanobots, which led directly to the next session where he took remote control of three PCs' bodies and forced them to murder villains, which was called:

Excuse Me While I Kill This Guy - to the tune of "Purple Haze", natch.

Twisted Christmas - the PC team Christmas party is crashed by their evil twins from another dimension.
