Polling the name of the Game World
Added 2022-09-21 06:00:00 +0000 UTCSo many great suggestions, folks! I value all of your contributions :)
Here's a list of the ones that stand out to me. Let's see what the votes are over the next week or two. I will, of course, reserve the right to pick the name regardless of the outcome - but it will be interesting to see where the community lands on this!

"Aonair" is a Napa winery. 😅

2022-09-22 03:17:46 +0000 UTCI went with Mundas Yor’Um but also like Shattered Lands and Broken Empire, they all raise a lot of questions which is cool and evocative. Whatever fuels your imagination to make more stories!

2022-09-21 14:47:23 +0000 UTCWhy pick 1? Top 3 win! Using the "Dead Empires" approach we could have a name 'known Today', a name that was its former name, and another name that was its former name lost to history. This is Matt Colville tip: 3 Dead Empires; search his YT channel I don't have it handy.

2022-09-21 09:27:44 +0000 UTCNaming things can be one of the toughest things to do in any creative sense, so it’s a joy to see the process be able to be crowd sourced in a way. I’m curious as well as where the taste falls, as there were plenty of excellent breaks from tropes.

2022-09-21 06:36:27 +0000 UTCDifficult to choose just one, but we have seen a lot of evidence of once-great powers that have disappeared in various parts of this world, so the Broken Empire strikes a chord.

2022-09-21 06:07:56 +0000 UTCWord of warning to those using the android app for Patreon: you can press to vote but the app won't show that you voted. So you can accidentally tap on a wrong vote. Fortunately you can re-vote and the website version works well.
