I was just giving up searching for that but true, Nemedeus suggested it first (with further explanation behind). In fact I like this one better than just Bastards.
I see RPG products with all caps and exclamation marks as cheap, not really serious products. Frankly, I tend to skip games with names like this. I don't know why, but that's how it goes.

What a true classic movie!
Benedict wrote:Imho plain simple BASTARDS! would be best. Capitalized with an exclamation mark.
I suggested that a long while back (sans the caps and an exclamation mark), but we ended up dismissing it. It would look like we're going for straight shock value.
Benedict wrote:No matter what you guys finally choose, please don't loose the "A Game of Passion, Violence, and General Skullduggery" line. That's simply perfect.
That's definitely not going anywhere.

The floor is still open on this and probably will be until the moment I actually hit "compile" on this draft.

Ha. Nice. Rather sadly, between Blades in the Dark and Blade of the Iron Throne (to say nothing of Flashing Blades, Crimson Blades or Bladestorm) we may need to move away from that particular word.
