I'm going to be running a Mutants and Masterminds game, and I would like the antagonist group comprised of supervillains unrealistically cooperating for the greater evil to be called T.A.R.O.T.

I'm looking for suggestions on what T.A.R.O.T. might stand for.

At first glance I would go with Tyrannical Anarchist Revolutionaries Of Terra and give them a R'as al Ghul, "kill people to heal the planet" vibe.

As they are united under a shared goal, it could be something like "Towards a Reality of Terror", stylised as "T.a.R.o.T"

Totalitarian Anti-Righteousness Offensive Task-force

Tyrants and Anarchists for the Rampaging Outbreak of Terrorism

Tormentingly Antagonistic Rebellion Opposing Tranquility

I have no thoughts on what any of the particular themes for these might be at the moment. I just like making up silly acronyms sometimes. :smallbiggrin:

Name them something your players will easily remember and identify with:

It could be their initials.


They were calling themselves "The Rot", but then someone mistook that for "Tarot" and the name stuck. Maybe an evil magician liked the name and joined, or something.

If the members have themes related to Tarot cards I could maybe see it working easily without needing an acronym. It also leaves room to grow and assign new member titles etc.

ex: You got someone with excessive powered/Super strength, he's assigned the strength card etc.

If you want to make it even more dramatic have them pronounce the card names in Italian or something. ~chuckle~

Where augments means "people with superpowers". Not sure how common it is to refer to powered folks as augments.

Something like "The Allied Regiment Of T.A.R.O.T." should do nicely.

Then pick sometihng for the second TAROT to mean later. Plot twist!

- "T.A.R.O.T.? What does it stands for?"
- "We're working on it."

T.A.R.O.T stands for "Titles Are Recursive Of T.A.R.O.T"

Some kind of save may be required to stop robots going into and endless loop.

Totally Awesome Radical Outrageous Team.

They could fight the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, I bet their senses of style would mix nicely.

I like that idea, but I couldn't help myself from pointing out that tarot is pronounced more like "ter-oh" than "ter-aht".

Tomorrow's Actions Return On Today. (Or "Reflect".) Has a nice mystic sound to it. I like plausible names instead of a group calling themselves terrorists.

Tyrants And Rulers Of Tomorrow

Hard to improve on the above two, really, which I think are the pick of your crop so far (depending on what you're aiming for, of course).
