Title: Create Your Own 4e Setting Compound-Word!!
Post by: RPGPundit on December 15, 2009, 01:56:56 PM
Its fun and requires almost no creativity whatsoever, which is no doubt why the 4e people use it so much.

I'll go first:

"Burnpool". Its like, a pool of liquid that burns you or something!

"Starsteel": its like steel, but starry!


You can even do it with mundane setting elements. Why drink boring old black tea when you can drink super-awesome super-cool super-ominous super-extreme BLACKTEA!!!

Oooh.

The convention is older than 4e. Shadowfell got used in a 3x setting on WotC's old homebrew subforum.

Ooh, I've got one... "Greyhawk"

This only shows how out of sync you are with 4e.  That would be "Teablack".

Actually, is there a name for this kind of pattern of naming, which has existed before 4E, which has infiltrated lots of fantasy things? WoW is filled with Silvergear Thronehammer's and so on.

Hmmm, my initial thought was Deathvomit, because you die when it gets on you. That's not really very 4E, though, so I suppose it should be Darkvomit--can't see because it is covering your face.

I think that the specifics of 4E call for a cool-sounding but totally stupid word. Thus "Shadowfax" wouldn't be eligible, because it makes sense. But "Faxshadow" would - exp. for a game set when the internet wasn't so common.

My entries:

Wellstunt (a combat option)

Wellwell (a pool of healing water)

Torrentpeer (a power that allows you to pirate spells off the Weave)

Rheinmetall (an ore used to forge weapons favored by tanks)

Jasonbourne (an offspring that can divide his level by 3, round up, and eliminate from the map a number of enemies equal to the result by simply describing how he does it)

Badfell (a place that makes everybody uneasy)

Thinktank (a power that allows the character to subtract points from his INT and add them to his HPs)

Shillingcourt (the temple of the Golden Bat)

I'm sure that there are more...

"Emerald Cat Bash"

It's indistinguishable from the real thing!  I suspect they run all feat names by the Blind Panther Judge before publication.

I think most of the posts in this thread have been pointing this out already.

But I agree with Pundit on this one; even with the miniscule amount of 4e stuff I've seen dumped on the intrewebs, the lame name choices jumped out at me (http://www.therpgsite.com/showpost.php?p=336736&postcount=27).
