Hello again.
Trying to name my Blood-based roguelike.
For several reasons I don't want to call it Blood-RL.
It's restrictive (I might not want it to be only a genre-conversion of Blood). And there's also the threat of a C&D-letter.
Some suggestions occured to me:
-Cult (sounds pure and elegant, but probably taken by several others)
-The Cult
-Tchernobog (sounds cool, but might be hard to remember/spell/pronounce)
-Cult of Tchernobog (acronym CoT sounds good)
I think the ideal title would be something that is dark and sinister, but also decent.
The title should either be short and striking, or long with a good acronym.
So if you have any ideas, please let me know.

Red Right Hand
It's also the name of a really cool Nick Cave song, well suited to Blood.
