What is your adventuring party's name?

The league of less then ordinary gentlemen

Our first enemy encounter was to save some townsfolk from goblins and we immediately got the shit kicked out of us, DM purposely made it a really easy encounter and everything.

We didn't even kill the goblins they just robbed us and left.

Since then word spread and nearly every NPC mentions it before giving us a quest

One group - The Red Hands - Got into a habit of slapping people's asses in various inappropriate scenarios. Another - Smol Patrol - Tallest player character is only 5ft (aarokokran, dwarf, gnome and mousefolk)

Harlak's Avengers

The party met a sentient suit of armor that was tagged 0110 in a dungeon. In my campaign, wizards create these sentries and give them commands that the armors follow to the letter, such as guarding someone or protecting something.

The party was interested, and over a couple of sessions found that his creator was named Harlak, and took to calling the spectral armor that. Then, over a couple of sessions the group started working the "code" and made the suit of armor a willing guard and ally.

They traveled through the rest of the dungeon with their new friend, and was getting pretty seriously attached. They would protect him as he ravaged through their enemies, and this continued for a few sessions. Until finally, the party hit the very end, where the Big Evil Guy called the Ancient One was finally met. The Ancient One took control of Harlak and forced him against his new friends. This made the party get extremely emotional, and they began pleading with Harlak to remember his friends all the while Harlak was cutting through them. However, over time, the suit of armor began visibly struggling against the Ancient Ones orders, and his attacks started to hurt less and less, with more hesitation in between them.

A few rounds later Harlak was standing over the dying bard, who was the one pushing for friendship the most. Ordered to put the Bard out of his misery, his sword began swinging down on top of him when one final plea from the Bard rang true, and in the ultimate contest against his Creator, Harlak turned the sword around and stabbed it through his own seal, ending the armor's life.

The Ancient One ended up getting away, but the party, now also having the fighter wear Harlak's suit of armor in remembrance, has sworn to avenge their departed friend.

Thus, their name became Harlak's Avengers.

The "Herder Mobos" it all started when I accused my group of being Murder Hobos and I managed to slip up some letters.

We're the Critical Fails, over the past three years, our hijanks have seen us get 1,465 critical fails, and counting!

Ragnarok!!

Our signature move is called the "One o' clock, two o' clock, Ragnarok bop!" which is where we have a our druid shapechange into a dragon and use a simulacrum dragon with party members riding them, then flanking with breath attacks while the wizard casts meteor swarm.

Occasionally this plan fails miserably.

I DM for a group of my closest friends. They chose the name "The Natural 1's". It typically is said like an 80's band name - DM-Dave and the Natural 1's. it's been pretty entertaining so far to be playing the walking embodiment of failure. We even have jerseys now!

The Inconceivable Heroes We are a group of heroes but are all races that the common races prejudice against. For example tieflings and dark elves.

Not sure if my group has a name, but if it did, I guess it'd be: "Oh no, it's them again".

The Pig Knuckles.

As a reward for killing the demon-shape-shifted-into-a-dwarf King, all of the real dwarves in the city gave our group a lifetime supply of pig knuckles.

EDIT: Spelling

we have: hey our group needs a name.

The Wildcats. Yes, like High School Musical. The one time I'm not there, they pick that.

For a while we didn't worry about having a group name, but after we garnered a reputation for collateral damage, our DM would have people react to us with "Oh, it's THOSE guys..."

So now we're THOSE Guys. Registered as a guild and everything.

Seal team 4.

We make seal noises after we announce ourselves.

Brings everyone to giggles

The Second Flame.

They have taken up the mantle of an ancient group called the Candlight Crusaders basically were a bunch of paladin's who hunted the undead. They found their tomb and took the Crusader Queens Sword. Pretty proud DM here.

Used a random group name generator and got Defenders Without Direction. Fits so well.

"Phoenix Something"

We're trying to become a political force within the city. Mostly we just call ourselves Phoenix, but we'd wanted a longer name (but no one could agree OOC so we ended up with Phoenix Something).

Basically our city is going to shit and there are riots and bombings and we figured the imagery of something rising out of the ashes of the old shitty system had a good chance of becoming popular.

The jawbone collective. Our barbarian started it by collecting jawbones of fallen enemies. So many defiled corpes left in our wake.

TPK Inc., for our DM's preference to throw fewer than the usual 6-8 encounters in a day for much tougher, deadlier encounters.

Made it through the last encounter with only two deaths! ...That priest NPC is a literal lifesaver.

We are Alchemist's Fire! We were going to do a bard only party, but at least stuck to the band theme.

Until the adventuring money got too good.

Snowbane

But the party I'm DM'ing named themselves Thatcher's Warriors

My group has strangely called themselves :The Copper Flickers'. It is due to the fact that our fighter decided to start flicking single copper coins at NPC's in/after conversations in order to demean or insult them. It has become a thing.

When the whole party is together, they call themselves the Blood Griffins.

When the one woman in the group is gone (which is fairly common), they call themselves the Firm Worms.

I prefer the latter name

Our group was named after our Warforged Cleric who eventually turned into our Airship. "Hard To Explain."

The Misfortunados. Because it turns out we where not supposed to kill two different rulers and start a war between 5 different civilizations, just as what held the worlds together began to break apart because of red dragon that talked like Sean Connery.

My players call themselves C.U.N.T. Champions That Undo Nights Treachery

We don't really have one, but I'd put us down as the Magnificent Surviving Cock-ups.

Our first game involved a mystery at a plantation surrounded by peach trees. So afterwards we decided on the name: Peaches and Dreams.

We're a bunch of idiots.

North West Airlines, or NWA for short.

Order of the sacred flame, we have continual fire caste on our weapons (in a wizard so I have a burning book)

Not the full group's name, but a subgroup within the party consisting of three rangers, including myself, took on the name "Ranger Danger."

Unfortunately, they have since disbanded, because my Ranger died, another went mad, and the third succumbed to alcoholism after the death of his friend. Ranger Danger will always live on in my heart though, godspeed in the next life, Iorveth, Corwyn, and Viktor.

Prolific Phallus Political Party.. Don't ask..

Sergeant Badass's Badass Brigade of Badassery

Names of parties I haves dmed for: Warband Circus, Ignis Fatales (faerie fire), and the Freelance Union for the Protection of Avaron (FUPA)

V.A.S.T., an acronym of the party's first names(Volga, Alberich, Shaena, Thamior) which then became V.A.S.T.E.R. after two new members joined(Elias, Reginald).

Big and Strong Adventuring Party (for Jesus)

Highest IRL CHA player is a barbarian fighter (played as the TF2 Heavy) who came up with the name when nobody else stepped forward.

The Paladin insists that "for Jesus" is part of the party's name, and it isn't on guild records due to a "clerical error" due to our war cleric of not-Jesus that wrote the record. The Paladin continually reminds people who address them using the incorrect name.

The Coin Fuckers!

The rogue in the party was caught having more money than usual, natural rogue stuff y'know. Party didn't take kindly to it so they labelled him as a coin fucker to any NPC they met. The name stuck and evidently evolved to include the entire party in as some coin fetish group

We call ourselves the Hole Buddies.

It all started when the our party had to create fortifications to protect a town against dragon cultist pirates. Our bard built up walls, but the barbarian and the paladin decided to dig pits with spikes in the bottom. The paladin (my character) and the barbarian were known from then on as hole buddies. When the paladin got everyone killed fighting an adult dragon, and we created new characters for Curse of Strahd, we named our party the Hole Buddies as a sort of tribute to the brave and stupid characters in our previous party.

My party's group chat changes its name several times after every session, ranging from "Mundai Defense Squad" to "adventurers that are on good terms with one another."

The Neribian Proletariat of Constant Struggle

"Kindness." They have a knack for throwing feasts for their allies as well as killing everything in their path. Killing people with "Kindness."

Broomslayers

After getting slightly cocky after easily wiping out an animated suit of armour, the crew of four checked out a nearby broom closet. A hidden broom of animated attack hilariously almost cost them their lives. They were only saved by the timely intervention of the dragonborn monk, snapping the broom over her knee and giving the rest of the jokers a very judging look.

I DM for a group that goes by The Trouserthieves. The name comes from one of their very first sessions in which they de-pantsed a surprising number of enemies. There's also a sub-group of players who had an adventure (when the others were absent) which necessitated their temporary transformation into children - they call themselves The Jellybean Gang.

HighTechnocrat's hideous gaming menagerie.

My players always play monsters, racial or otherwise.

The Runebreakers. There is a dwarf in our party with that last name who's backstory is that his clan was wiped out. So being the dysfunctional family our party is we called ourselves The Runebreakers to keep the memory of his former family. My teifling is like the weed smoking papa Gandalf to this litter of miscreants.

Don't have an in game name... but we has Feel Bad Inc for a while, right now we're Spoopy Quest.

The Bronze Masons. Were still currently on our first quest arc which is to find land for a retired war hero dwarf who's been raised to a lord and give property. The color on his crest is bronze and we'll be helping him find a place to erect a fort so....

My players named their party "pseudo dragon solutions"

One player had a pseudo dragon familiar that dies many times

The Necessary Evils - We do good things but our methods leave a lot to be desired, especially to me as the groups paladin.

I had a group where we were dicks but we got the job done. Like, we were smug and knew we were the shit. So it got to be a bit of a mantra that whenever we'd enter somewhere, someone would go "Oh great, those assholes are here again"

And so we became known as Those Assholes.

The meme team

One group is known as the Clumsy Gods. We got the name from Lizardmen. It stuck.

In the campaign I'm going to DM soon, "Those punk-ass kobolds that won't fuck off,"

My Curse of Strahd group barely has any unity; let alone a group name.

Formally the Marauderering Morons, informally 2 girls 1 dwarf.

"The Wesseltang Clan"

Our Bard is the pseudo-leader of the group and his name is Wesselton Wallingfordshire.

First and longest lived party I ever played was "the Companions of Chaos," which was ironic because about half of us were lawful by the end. I think it might've had more to do with the fact that whenever we showed up, completely random shit would happen.

After the Mines of Phandelver, I asked my group to come up with a name. When they didn't, I explained that word had gotten around of their exploits and they'd become known as the Phanny Pack. The name stuck through two more campaigns.

Not my current party, but the best party ne we had was Underhanded Tactics LLC.

Champions of Myth Mountain Or the COMM-ys

We don't have an in-game name, but I refer to our 5e group as the "Rainbow Connection" - five PCs, five different races (plus three more if you count the NPC tagalongs).

The party I'm DMing for has called themselves the 33rd surveillance corps after the warforge party leader of our group, named, "#33," agreed to go on a reconnaissance mission for the dwarvern king. It's been pretty chill so far.

The Beefcake Brigade

Adventurers Without Borders (AW/OB for short). It's a lot like Doctors Without Borders, only with more murdering and looting.

In character: our elitist bard refuses everything we come up with. Out of character: Knock Knock Charisma

As named by our late wizard, we are "the world's last, worst hope".

In an evil campaign I'm in we've been unofficially named Rune's Mighty Faggot. "Alone we are but lowly twigs, but together we firm a mighty faggot!" That was the party slogan or so I wanted it to be. The name stuck for comedic value but I couldn't quite force the slogan into acceptance.

They haven't come up with one yet. We've always called our gaming sessions "Mantime" because it would always be on a Monday so it'd be Mantime Mondays. But when we play DnD my fiance joins so I'm not sure that name is appropriate.

Simply "The Explorers".

...the group was trudging down a corridor and I, being the Tank, stomped on ahead. Turning a corner, I found myself face-to-face with a slightly-friendly Gorillafolk.

He asked me my name, we chatted a bit. Some minor small talk, enough for my friends to get closer and discern that we weren't in an encounter, yet.

"What are you all doing here?" The Gorillafolk asked (I'd give you his name but I'd have to go back to my notes and that's a lot of work for my lazy ass)

I, feeling the need to respond, but not being much of the conversationalist (my Dragonborn Paladin is, uh, illiterate) didn't want to give away the whole truth, but didn't want to outright lie.

"Uh, we're Explorers...exploring!"

What we're actually doing is quite a long story, but, uh, we were exploring at that point?

Everybody kind of glanced at each other, skeptically, but when the DM paused for a moment nobody spoke up.

Then the Gorillafolk turned around, walked away a bit. As he did, he said, "Well come along then, Explorers".

Some weird stuff with a displaced cult of Gorillafolk hiding in caves and drinking statistically/physically altering moonmelon juice and we were baptized in it...things got weird, but I mean, the Gorillafolk let the Explorers pass along mostly unharmed.

In the campaign we're running, that might be the nicest we've been treated by any NPC's ever.

(the 2nd time we went there, via space-time dimensional traveling, it got really weird though)

I DM for The Burn Unit. The name is very fitting. They're actually so good at burning everything down they've spent the last 6 months pretending to be someone else because of all the people trying to kill them.

The party I DM for is obsessed with memes, so their name is Number One. Whenever an NPC asks their name they just shout "WE ARE NUMBER ONE"

The party I DM for has finally named themselves: Libro Casisto- the Book Hunters. The easiest party member to motivate is a librarian, and the rest are kinda tied to her because they changed characters.

The Party Crashers. Due in no small part to charging in with little forethought or planning of any sort.

The Cold Dicks

Short Dark Bastards. ShoDaBa.

In the group I DM for, they went from having one Rogue to having 3, so in a call back to the old group we were all part of (back under a different DM and with less people) the group occasionally calls itself "The Rogues and their Bitches".

In the group I play in online we call ourselves the Brave Band of Brain and Brawn (the party bard had the idea) since we had a Wizard (work issues), had a Psion (family issues), had an Eldritch Knight Fighter (work again), and still have a Monk, Barbarian (me), a Bard, an Alchemist, and a Fighter/Rogue.

My old party's name was the Walkers of the Fallen Cities. I wanted the Hard Corps, but I was outvoted.

"Luftens Helte" (Heroes of the Air in English) which is the name for the disney cartoon Talespin, in our language. We have a flying whale, and has formed a guild of the same name in the pursuit of mone... killing of the zombies.

In universe they are referred to as the Sword in the Mountain. Their first major quest was killing a dragon, in a Mountain.

We were the "Doomguard" but after our group of oddballs got into an ill advised street scuffle, we became notarized as the "Doom-bringers" among the land. Our name has been tarnished

The chicken of the sea trading company.

We are "The Heroes of Blackfire." Has a nice ring to it.

We are the Barrel Bandits, this coming from the time our rogue tricked/convinced us into pirating a merchant ship and the ranger and wizard floated down the river on the 3 barrels of gold we looted.

Our's is Space Hitlers

How the name came to be you ask? I don't remember and neither does the DM.

Party 420 Blaze It (P4B for short).

When the party was being hired for merc work, the NPC in charge asked for their group name. Nobody could/wanted to suggest a name, so the jackass of the party shouted out the above.

And so it was.

The group I used to DM for referred to themselves colloquially as the "goon squad."

I'll give you one guess how that went >.>

The Marked- We all share a magically sealed tattoo like glyph on our arms given by an ancient Druid.

Caliburnus- 3 Holy Crusaders of the light and a helltouched barbarian.

Viros Sacrarum, which is Latin for "Sacred Warriors." Mostly we though it had a good sound to it.

Hooves Attack, Must Succeed. I think this needs no explanation.

The Order of Tublord.

Our party met a mage that challenged the three of us to a battle, but he was so fat that he had to constantly cast levitate on himself to be able to move. We felt bad and conceded to his mastery of the arcane magic. He asked us to carry his banner around, which depicted him eating a slice of cake. Unfortunately we never got his name so we just call him Tublord from now on.

I'm running my first 5e campaign with my players as a fantasy Suicide Squad, and their handler is a blonde, beardless, dick-cheese of a dwarf by the name of Rory Kilgrave. He has been so awful that the party has unanimously decided that the party name is "Kill Rory".

The "box turtle bandits"! We polymorphed the mob boss into a box turtle to kidnap him and hold him ransom. We always polymorph baddies into turtles now!

Have a couple of various sessions going on, so we have a couple of names including but not limited to: the mystery gang, the bonfire crew, and the 2 by 2s.

The Sword Swallowers; we're all gay nerds haha

The Breakfast Club, because we were a bunch of people with nowhere to go and seemingly nothing in common. That changed over time though, making the name work even better.

Team Teamwork of New Westerton

The group I dm for was previously known as "The Platinum Ring" because of the requirements for the spell Warding Bond. We jumped 5 years into the future (a d20 roll) and they made new characters. They called themselves "TBA" because they couldn't think of anything. After about a month of not being able to think of a name, I finally said "ok fine, you're The Bastard Adventurers if you can't think of something" and they just went with it. A lot of orc hunting so they kind of have a Inglorious Bastards vibe to them. They've shortened it now to "The Bastards" for the most part.

Our first party was called the Middlemen because they hated each other and were really just glorified middlemen. After the Evil characters in the party killed each other and the only Good character, we agreed to re-roll more...friendly alignments. The brand new Cleric proposed that we call ourselves the Fellowship of Light.

In 4e, I was once a member of Minimus Maximus. We were all small sized characters, and that was the same campaign where I did a triple jump and stabbed a dragon in the neck with a spork.

In an anime themed campaign in Mutants and Masterminds 2e, we were the School Defense Club. It made sense in context, but the context only makes sense if you're familiar with Anime tropes.

The Friday Knights

The Goode Boys.

They're dangerous mafia types working for Don Goode.

Their current name is "Just Aids" but AIDS doesn't exist in my world so really their name just means "Good Helpers"... doesn't help OOC though.

Their last one was the "FBPI" or the Federal Bureau of Planar Investigation

"Desperate Measures"

When a second party sprung off from the first in my game, the original party decided to dub themselves "The Core Four".

In the game I'm DMing, the party is Soul Caravan. The bard named them when they were trying to get passage into a town by masquerading as a traveling show.

The bard's player is my favorite namer-of-things ever.

He once played a shaman of "Holy Our Lord and Savior Episcopalian Black Baptist Methodist Baptist Blessed Holy United Church;" the "Double Baptists" for short.

The Antlered Friendos. In our first session, we were the Friendos. That lasted about 2 sessions before the massive influx of freshmen joining D&D club (where this was) just for the hell of it forced us to split into 2 sessions. I was one of the transferred. Our DM, after a couple sessions, declared that our party name could be either the Antlered Vagabonds or something even worse that I don't remember. We unanimously agreed Antlered Vagabonds. When the freshmen had done enough damage and stopped coming, we merged the two as the other session was almost entirely freshmen. Thus, we became the Antlered Friendos.

Chronically Underpaid Nefarious Templars - Or CUNTs for short.

Our evil campaign got out of hand fast.

Aside from that, I've been a member of the Lizard Wizards, The Knights of the 'sort of longish rectangular with a bit sticking out at the end like a hammerhead' Table and the Faerun Actor's Guild

The Potato Party

Named after some potato-quality character drawings I did on MS Paint and the fact that we make bad decisions.

Knights of the Shadow Realm.

Hells rebuke

Named after the warlock who immolated a balor after a paladin natural 20 that sucker with a holy smite. They now have his still Sentient head in a magic orb, which they use to identity demon things and to drive their ship.

We were The Sticky Situation, and we made everyone call us that. It was awesome to hear the general talking about The Sticky Situation's combat prowess and delegating a frog and two ratfolk to assassinate the enemy leader.

We call ourselves 'The Goodfellas' - because we'll get the job done right!

Really, that's our name since our gnome wizard is part of a bit gnomish crime family, and we wanted to keep making mob movie references. Said wizard is also who gave our group the name in the game as well.

The Danger Donuts.

Early on in our adventuring career, we spent a ton of time in the wilderness, and whenever we made camp our rogue/wizard would use Mold Earth to create an earthwork berm around our camp. A danger donut if you will.

Around this time the DM tried to get us to come up with a name, and to try and force us to pick something decided to stick us with The Danger Donuts until someone came up with something better, to his dismay, and mine, the majority of the group found the name amusing and now we're stuck with it.

Generican Diplomatic Envoy for the Safety and Aid of Its Neighbors

They're a bunch of murder hobos commissioned by the king to help outlying villages and make sure they continue to show fealty.

I've never actually been in a game where the group had a name. For some reason either no one thinks to think up one or some or all of the players object to having a party name.

I think the people that run 'The Adventure Zone' call themselves 'The Dildo Squad' and 'Tries Horny Bros' respectively.

EDIT: Spelling and format

Last team i was in was named Team Onion Dick, the moniker was taken from the ship we owned which was named after the great adventure Richard Onion.

I guess the group's name was technically:

"The H.M.S. Betty, What's for Lunch? On Ice ... By Sea - Quick, get the French Toast, we must reclaim our territory! Troupe"

My group has had a couple of names. The first was Plan Z, since if you're relying on them, everything else clearly failed. Our next name was the Spanish Inquisition because no one would expect what they do.

I don't have a adventuring party.. :'(

Keldar and Co.

The group I'm Dming for the first time calls themselves The Order of the Bear. Shortly after naming themselves they killed a grizzly bear and took its cub as a mascot.

Despite my opposition to it my group named themselves Titanium Sideways, a crappy nickel back cover band and has now been used for 3 different parties that have picked up the mantle and is the name of the adventuring guild run by the original party. I rolled with it though and I've been making chain mail chirps with our logo in them!

The Dark Legion's Leftovers

Until recently (due to work obligations) it was 'The Emerald Wind'.

Adventures Camp Pain! It's what we do and what we go through. :)

Golden Shields of Goldenfields

The only name we have discussed in game is AA (adventurers anonymous) but the name we use for our organizational Facebook group and roll20 is Dungeons and Scrubs.

Our group is called The Handsome Boiz.

Just some good looking characters trying to make the world a good looking place.

We fought Krampus last week because he kidnapped Santa and our Gnome wizard.

They named their gang "Brian's Boyz" after the horse that pulls the getaway vehicle. I love my party.

We were assigned the name "The Motley Crew" by an arena overseer at level 1, and the name stuck.

I had a Tiefling named fear, and when we were setting everything up they asked what our party should be named. I jokingly said Fear and the good efforts, they just went along with that.

The Nutless Wonder and his Fa**ots.

It fits.
