OtherSpace

I was building a space opera setting from scratch with lots of strange alien races. One of the first things I came up with was a name for the faster-than-light drives: OtherSpace Drives. So, the game name followed quickly from that. (I also liked the somewhat tongue-in-cheek genericness of it.)

Chiaroscuro

A fantasy game about the struggle between the magic of Shadow and Light. Seemed only natural to use the term from art about the interaction of light and darkness.

Necromundus

"I need a name for a world inhabited by the dead!"

And then I found some Latin.
