I want some real stinkers. Some real bad ones. Some bad bad boys. I'm talking stuff like "Dragons Eating Elves: The Consumptioning". Here are my humble suggestions:


The Thrifty Hafling Cobbler And His Six Legged Dog
A Cloud That Hates
The Deathfish of Dungleberry Bay
Ten Thousand Angry Pellicans
Bad Town 2: Now more bad?
Hellkage: Escape From Perdition
The End Of Daylight: The Vines That Grasped The Sun
The Chaosball



Suggestions for more awful adventure titles?

A Dark and Stormy Knight

I have some suspicions about some of the other titles... but I know for certain this one really exists. 3.5e free PDF adventure from WotC: https://dnd.rem.uz/3.5%20Adventures/A%20Dark%20And%20Stormy%20Knight.pdf

I like puns. Sue me

Haha yeah I just wanted to take a jab at that one. The rest aren't real...hopefully...

(Although I would totally play A Cloud That Hates ... or Bees! for that matter)

What's important is to remember that it's A cloud that hates, not THE cloud that hates. Very evocative.

Make a list of perfectly normal titles, run it through an English-to-Chinese translator and back again. Worked splendidly years ago for the Fighting Fantasy gamebook titles, but maybe online translators are more consistent now.
