Note:

We are closing this domain naming thread. It is asking the entirely wrong question. See this blog post for details: Domain Names: Wrong Question

We're going to keep the name rpg.stackexchange.com. But we WILL be setting up redirects from the more "popular" domains names. (e.g. seasonedadvice.com to cooking.stackexchange.com, basicallymoney.com to money.stackexchange.com, and others as we go through the list).

New question: "Write an Elevator Pitch / Tagline!"

Domain name suggestions? Please only put one domain name per answer, so we can vote on them.

Can you please indicate if your suggestion is available or taken. Check here.

  • \$\begingroup\$ discussing domain names will most likely end with some annoying person buying the agreed one just to be a jerk. I hope it doesn't happen, but I feel it would be better the brainstorming is done through a different mean with selected people (chosen by the diamond users) \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @RMorrisey why remove names already taken? There's a number of domains that are being squatted, so if it fits our needs better it may be possible to still get it. Take a look at the post about domain names: blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/07/domain-names \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ I think the name should sound useful and practical as a source of information first, funny or in-joke-laden second. For that, the domain name should be self-explanatory or nearly so. Something like askroleplayers.com (which I've suggested). \$\endgroup\$

kind of mundane but therpgexchange sounds good to me. But I vote for the naturalone idea as well it fits with parent site Stack Overflow. Critical Failure is also good and less D&Dish in it's focus.

MadMaxJr kind of proposed "YeOldeSwordExchange.com". I think it's too long. But we can work from here. The main issue is that they are fantasy oriented domain names. What about Cyberpunk RPGs ? the domain name should be method agnostic and setting agnostic. mhmm....

What about a completely disconnected name, such as one of a place or similar:

Arcaria, Serinai, Mikeides, Morlekur, Samyria

Should we try mindmapping concepts ? When do we have to deliver the domain name proposal ?

I splitted names so you can vote them independently.
