The name of the game is "My game"

chrisvenusIts been pointed out to me that my Exalted game doesn't have a better name than "my exalted game" or maybe "my dragon blooded game". This doesn't really bother me but I thought it might be nice to have a nice snappy name. And not because somebody pointed out I was being a hypocrite for saying their game needed a snappy name.
The main problem with this otherwise fine plan is that I am pretty bad with coming up with character names, let alone names that work well for an entire campaign, which isn't that far in yet.
So what should I look for in a name? Well, it has to be something that sums up the campaign. If its something random it would be a bit pointless really. It also has to be something that doesn't give away too much. If I called it "The Solar Anathema Menace" or "The solars strike back" or "the return of the empress" then it would give away the plot. So I need something that is relevant but not revelatory.
Also I want something that fits the exalted theme. I'm considering names with things like "dragon", "lotus", "crane", "resplendant" and all those sorts of things that have the eastern kind of sound that I always think is exaltedy.
I'm vaguely tempted by "The Lotus Road" because it is a kind of cool name. It doesn't have any obvious meaning really which is what I'm after and it's kind of fitting in a strange way. I think I'll work it out when I next sit down and start thinking hard about plot for the game. Maybe on Sunday or Monday or something. I think it needs another adjective in there somewhere. Must find my bumper book of chinese sounding adjectives.
