Having just created your own Role Play Game Engine you decide to name it and find the popular ones are already taken...What do you name your game?

1. Kriegspiel RPG
2. Swordmasters RPG

feel free to add a name...

I always have something in development. I don't usually name them based on the genre. I usually name them based on what stands out about the mechanic. For instance, hypothetically, if I were to somehow incorporate goldfish into the random aspect of the game, I might call it The Goldfish System, or the Aquarium System, or whatever fit. Genres would be attached to whatever form of the system fit that genre.

Goldfish Fantasy
Goldfish Modern

etc.

That said, I am working on something where the title will take precedent, and the mechanic name will take a back seat, ala the way d20 did it. But it's a different sort of game, and not really an RPG.

Ah, the Completely Optimised System for Massacring Others. Played that. Won. Took ages to get the stains out :)

What an odd name for a game system.
