Renaming StoryCards: The Results
Thank you to everyone for your input on renaming StoryCards. I've tried to carefully consider all your advice, even if the outcome may not seem to show it. And without further ado, StoryCards henceforth will be known as: StoryCards.
I don't think the trademarking issues are going to be a problem, since there are multiple products out there by the same name (thus if they were going to sue anyone, I should think they would have done so already), and none of them are roleplaying games anyway. Officially the product will be known, I think, as StoryCards Roleplaying, but the ambigram logo will just say StoryCards. I expect I can get StoryCardsRoleplaying or StoryCardsRPG as a domain without difficulty, and I need to pounce on that very soon. The name isn't so strange (using foreign words) to turn anyone off, and does a good job of describing the product, so despite the fact that it was never intended to be anything other than a working title, it does the job better than anything else I've heard. It even has a tiny bit of brand recognition, having been listed in the GenCon catalog twice now.
So there it is. Thanks again for all your input.
