Currently the group’s busy with an adventure called ‘Who you gonna call?’ in a campaign named ‘Shadow Rising’. Next up after they finish that is ‘Cultural weekend’

That said, I never use the adventure names at the table. It’s more a categorisation thing for me.

Rather than have hard breaks between modules, the campaign sessions run smoothly from one to the other.

On the other hand, on the store website, it’s listed as the “Age of Worms” game on the schedule, so I guess it has more than one name at a given time.

BTW: The “Little Kitty” syndrome is rampant with my wife’s inlaws. I don’t know how many pets over the years have been called “Baby _____(fill in the blank)____”.

(Micah) I’ve been running a campaign for over 4 years now, and it just struck me that it doesn’t have a name. For the whole time, I’ve just been calling it “Kensing” after the island where it takes place.

Oddly enough, most of my campaigns get named this way, too. It works well enough, but in retrospect some of them could definitely have used sexier names.

Sarlax: I’d like to see all the names at some point, even if it’s once our campaign ends.

I do notice that the campaign titles has a bit of a metagame effect on the players. I think it, at the least, causes them to choose certain types of characters, but I’ve definitely seen differences in play styles based on the name.

I find having a title helps me to stay focused when writing adventures. In my current campaign, The Price of Loyalty, the concept of loyalty has come up several times and will have a significant impact as the campaign comes to a close.

Also, naming adventure is a good DM tool for placeholders when you plan the main-quest line of adventures. All my work in progress are stored on my DM Wiki and accessible on the main page by their adventure name.

Giving the missions names helps lock them in the memory of the players and stops it being “y’know if was when we um raided the bank, or was it when we stormed the secret facility?”

I recently decided divide my campaigns into seasons, which seems to be going down well too, as they know there will be some epic missions coming up

I would say that it is much easier for me to name missions for Broken Shield my sci-fi/gritty game than for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay as the WFRP sessions are much more generic.

That doesn’t mean that I as the player haven’t come up with campaign names to fill in that little box on the character sheet. It’s usually something generic, but it helps me personally keep track of that character’s campaign.

I do think that it can be difficult to think of a name when you might not have completed the story yet: sometimes your title should come last so it best fits the story.

Now the games usally get named first, and the gamemaster names the net session when putting in a prelude in advance.

In the past I’ve done it occasionally but only my first campaign had a name(which was known to the players). Also recently I named several sub-adventures in the current campaign but never told them to the players.

Well I’m definitely gonna try that now.

The Allthing
The Spider Guard (dark elf campaign)
Adventures in Cauldron (alternates w/ Shackled City)

For the Shackled City game (our first store-bought), I’ve been using the chapter titles to break the campaign up into acts: Life’s Bazaar, Drakthar’s Way, Flood Season, etc. Granted that was done for me by the excellent crew at Paizo, but I think it works really well, even if the chapter titles do give something away. I plan to use act or chapter names in all future home-grown campaigns.
