[Poll] Morcar vs Zargon : fight !

[CaptainNeatoman]

I agree with some here who say that Zargon sounds a little silly, like a mustache-twirling hypervillain as Toft put it... but to me, that's a good thing! I vote Zargon because Morcar is so reminiscent of Morgoth, Mordor and the like. Tolkien used names like that because of their phonetic similarity to "morte," or death. "Zargon," sounds more like one of those names that's made up off the top of someone's head. It's campier, and in my book, more fun. If I want my fantasy heavy and serious, I'll go elsewhere. When I want light and fun, that's when I break out the HeroQuest box.

Overthought?

I agree.
Zargon is a cheesy evil name that fits.
Morcar doesn't cut it.

With that said, I say both when I play.

Morcar sounds better but since up until i relocated the base game system I didn't no morcar became zargon iI always thought the wizards from the expansion were from the land of morcar and that was where zargon ruled from

Something about the syllable "Mor" just sound more evil.
It evokes thoughts of murder and malice.
"Mor" is also a deeper sound where "Zar" is a more nasal sound.

So scientifically Morcar is the best name.

[knightkrawler]

Indeed, it is.
Zargon also sounds like an American generic invention, invoking the names of cheap '80s action figure villains. I can't quite put my finger on this, it's just how I feel.
The thing with the syllable -mor-: morbid, mortal, Mörder, Mord, mors... Look it all up. Perfect for the character.

The thing with the syllable -mor-: morbid, mortal, Mörder, Mord, mors... Look it all up. Perfect for the character.

Those were some of the words I were subconsciously thinking about!

C'mon guys! Team America & Team Canada...... We cant let Morcar win this. Zargon all the way!

Anyone with a name that starts with Z is automatically a badass.
