Two PIPs a piece.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to hearing about your efforts too Konrad!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />JackJackson Popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685562784078130612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988030.post-45967788395139782532014-11-04T12:59:58.570+00:002014-11-04T12:59:58.570+00:00Since Georg is my second name (I was named after b...Since Georg is my second name (I was named after both of my Grandfathers, and quite happy and proud of that) I am not very objective in this matter.<br /><br />I feel that Longwitton, has a nice ring to it... although it might be better to leave the name of the Dragon (or possibly of both characters) blank, so that the players can fill in their favorites in each play - making the game a wee bit more personal.<br /><br />Component wise: hearts rock. And gold seems fitting as well.<br /><br />I was before hand, unaware, that you would actually incorporate more components into the game (than just cards and dice)... which now gives you more abilities to use on the cards. Such as: "Dragon: throw scales: deal D3 damage to knight, by sacriving three times as much from your gold horde." <br /><br />About my own game, I still need a few days to get some affairs settled, then I can dabble a bit myself in this glorious November.Konradhttps://twitter.com/pidaysocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988030.post-38166123239903028002014-11-04T11:21:27.698+00:002014-11-04T11:21:27.698+00:00Don't take this the wrong way, but ... why St ...Don't take this the wrong way, but ... why St George? If you're naming the dragon, then why not the hero too? Could the hero actually be - gasp! - St Georgina? (I am always reminded of the Faous Five books from my more innocent childhood). Or at least let the player choose...GamesBookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822273243607808813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988030.post-72854783951333548472014-11-04T09:16:20.576+00:002014-11-04T09:16:20.576+00:00Hiya Mal,

So I'd suggest to go for a name from mythology rather than a tolkien-ish one.<br />There's an interesting wikipedia entry: a list of dragon names from different mythologies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dragons_in_mythology_and_folklore).<br />You'll see one Indonesian/Malay dragon called Naga, which can be quite appropriate for this game :-)<br />Joking apart, the list can give you some ideas. Another source that could help is http://www.20000-names.com/dragon_names.htm.<br />Or you can create an anagram using your wife and/or daughter's names.<br />Saludos,<br />RobertoRobertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129015657256457696noreply@blogger.com
