Frayed Knights Subtitles

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 16, 2010

Okay, this is a goofy little poll, but for those of you who might be interested, I’m, like, polling. Which is like asking for advice. Except I’ll probably disregard it and do whatever I want to anyway. But right now, I’m not sure what I want to do, so … I poll.

So here’s the thing. There are now THREE Frayed Knights games in development. So they need titles. “Frayed Knights 1“, “Frayed Knights 2” and “Frayed Knights 3” are just kinda… lame. They need something else.  A subtitle.

Now, “Frayed Knights” is kind of a wordplay / pun / humorous title, making it clear that this is not a serious RPG.  I’d like the subtitles to be consistent, so should they:

#1 – Also be humorous / a pun? A subtitle like, “A Dark and Stormy Knight.”

#2 – Be serious and old-school sounding, accentuating the humor of the  “Frayed Knights” main title by contrast? (The pilot episode – The Temple of Pokmor Xang – was like this).

#3 – Go overboard with the melodrama of the title, making it silly by virtue of it being so overwrought or using exaggerated words (like, “The Temple of Horrendous Doom” or “The Accursed Skull of Destruction.”) I’m using names like this for some dungeons and magical items in the game (like “The Tower of Almost Certain Death.”)

So….  what do you think?

To keep things straight, the preferred poll is in this forum thread. That’s where I’ll be referring the most as things move forward. I appreciate the comments that people have already posted (and I’ve been mostly butting out of the discussion, just so as to appear unbiased ‘n stuff).

But for those who have an opinion to share but want nothing to do with the forums, I will of course be reading comments here.
