For those who have kept up with the news, you will know that i'm working on an in-game card game very similar to the Final Fantasy 8 game Triple Triad.

Well, i don't want to rip off the name, so looking for a name with a more planescapey feel to it. Most of the cards will feature planes, personages, and other planar related things.

If you have never played Triple Triad, you can download a stand-alone version from here: http://finalfantasykingdom.freeyellow.com/...ipletriade2.zip

So, as my creativity has failed me on this point, make your suggestions for the game name.

Winner receives a kiss from Auntie!

Yes, I am creative. :P

And in terror they run and hide,
From the shadows of old we rise,
Awakened, from the dark!

Over the ancient ruins we fly,
Where the old kings go to die,
And the new kingdoms rising high,
Awakened, from the dark, dark slumber!"

"Dragon Poker"? That's some kinda slang for Prime adventurers, isn't it?

All the rule of threes in synonymous way. Alas, it doesn't sound too good however.

*edit: I changed my suggestion by removing the last word, now it looks like a decent game name*

Dragon Poker was the infamous card game often played by dimension hoppers, deevils, wizards and other planar aware beings in Robert Asprin's Myth Adventures series, which very often featured the main characters hopping to the Baazar (on deva) to buy a cheap magic item, device or nifty service essential to thier current scam, con or quest. The Baazar, just like Sigil was a sort of interdimensional middle ground pretty much midway to anywhere and over run by chaos, different amounts of anarchy and the profit motive. The main characters eventually made it thier place of residence and set up thier trouble shooting/consultant business there. Good fun, though the quality of the books is a bit uneven, up and down. Definite comedic bent to the whole swords, sorcercy and demons mileau.

Ill probably avoid words like poker or gin, because the game bears zero resemblance to any traditional card game.

But some good suggestions so far.

Aside from that, though, what is the origin/provenance of the game? Is it supposed to have originated on a specific plane, or in a specific Ward? A special game a certain tavern is famous for?

I ask because I could see it perhaps being the game of choice at an upscale place like the Twelve Factols Inn (and being called "Factol's Fate") or Fortune's Wheel (can't think of a good name for that one that isn't cheesy).

We ran to the sounds of the thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
and tore the world asunder.

Good point Cere!

Let's widen the competition then. Come up with some background lore for the game. ;)

Its got to be something that has spread far and wide across the planes, played by those all across the planes. Otherwise, why on earth would monsters have cards on their persons? (ie: drops).

You have to ask yourself, what does the Painbringer do when planeswalkers are not bargining on him trying to rescue that damn angel?

I somehow doubt a Pain Elemental plays card games in it's free time... if it has any, though. XD
