I need again your creative powers
« on: August 23, 2008, 04:58:50 PM »
As some might be aware of, I am soon launching my 1st wargaming supplement for World at War.

Even for a pdf book you need a good Publishers name.

So far Dave and I came up with:
Kriegspiele AD
Quality Wargames AD
AD Publishing
 o_o
So - I need your input! Do you got any cool ideas?
The only thing that is a must is "AD" (for Agis and Dave).
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - https://www.adpublishing.de

...Kriegspiele AD...

That's look good to me... but why not "Kriegspiele Publishing AD" or "Kriegspiele AD Publishing"?

Kriegspiel sounds very "uncool" and oldfashioned for Germans, is it really nice for English speaking people? ???

Why not use DA? AD has other connotations in English.

Kriegspiele would be my favourite as well

You do know there's already Kriegspiel Miniatures, right? While the spelling and branch aren't precisely the same, they're quite close.

So does DA - Ducks Arse!!

Whats Daves surname - could you combine the two to make a name?

As said, "AD" stands!
The rest is open...
 ;)

Right now I tend towards "AD Wargames".

AD Wargames doesn't sound bad.

And ADW as it's going to be shortened to doesn't seem to have any awful hidden meaning:

"Kriegspielers" was one of the brand names for Custom Cast Miniatures, a very poorly-sculpted figure line from the mid-late 1970s. You probably want to avoid associations to that name (although Custom Cast does have its fans...).

How about;

AD Strategies
AD Logistics
AD Communications

Just some ideas.  I like the German one because I can't say it and my mind boggles as to what it might mean. ;D
