[UA] Other names for Unknown Armies?

[Gareth Hanrahan]

The UA designer's notes (http://www.rpg.net/oracle/essays/uadesign.html)
have a long list of other titles for the game. While a lot of them are
fairly far from the final one, they might provide some ideas...

"One thing we weren't sure of was the game's name. We had rejected The New
Inquisition as being too focused on one group. Our first choice was Smoke &
Mirrors, which we were especially fond of because its initials would have
been S&M. But author Neil Gaiman was releasing a short-story anthology
around that time by the same title, and we opted not to use it. With that
one knocked out, we spent weeks sending emails back and forth, looking for a
solution. Other rejected titles included: The Mystic Edge, Schools of
Madness, Dead End Club, Lies, Bitter Business, Causeways of Night,
Ascension, Avatar, Occultic, Day For Night, 333, Cycle, Karmix, Cat's Paw,
Twilight Lives, It's Forbidden, Relentless, Suspicion, Desperation,
Godwalker, Clash By Night, Burnt Offerings, Troubled Spirits, Mad and Savage
Masters, Litany of Lies, Verboten, Forbidden, Forbidden Armies, Forbidden
Practices, Forbidden Lives, Sacred Nightmare, The Sleep of Reason, Under
Reality, The Unseen World, Forbidden Self, Unseen, Zeitgeist, Freakshow . .
. and those were just the ones Greg and I dreamed up. Other suggestions came
from Lisa Manns, Ken Hite, and Tim Dedopulos. " - John Tynes
