BUG GAME: LAME NAME SHAME
« on: May 26, 2013, 04:27:32 PM »
Working on a RPG where you play as bugs on a quest for treasure, adventure, and candy.
The main kind of Bug are different species of beetles, followed by ants, termites, wasps, and bees. Other bugs are (so far) enemies. With Spiders and Scorpions being equivalent to dragons and maggots/flies equal to goblins/orcs.


ANYWAY! I've been referring to the game simply as Bug Game but that's not cutting it as I'm getting closer to playtesting.

So I turn to you.

Given the list of playable races, something based on "Hive" would be appropriate.

It's set in a magical bugtopia where at a certain age, ants and other hivers are allowed to leave and join the rest of society, keeping enough to make sure the Queen and Hive thrive but  also spreading their influence throughout other lands and kingdoms.
Some hivers tend to return to help, some become adventurers to gain glory and treasure for the hive, and some love freedom so much they run and never stop.

Uh. Yeah but the bees and wasps hives double as wizard colleges while ants and termites tend to be farmers and builders.
The beetles set up large areas of land where all kinds of bugs are encouraged to work together in harmony and build a bug society with all sorts of peoples. They have a Beetle King in each large city,  but hivers tend to value their individual Queen's laws above Common Laws. Most are respectful to both.

I think it would be funny to actually call it "Bug game".
