Full Stops/Periods After Game Titles

18 years ago
What's with this? I've seen heaps of storygames with full stops/periods after the titles, for example - "The Tower.". Why?

I think it adds a little... I don't know, power and finality to the title.

Whoever said power and finality. Thank you!

Exactly right, adding a "period" kindof adds to the bite.

The Tower in a laid back tone or The Tower in a forceful tone.

I reckon it just looks disorganized, but you could be right.

Yeah, I agree with you, October. Right now, I am looking and playing The Tower and am just going to save it for it will be too long before I can finish it. Fantastic game as compare to others I have played.

Ooooh, power and finality.. Power and finality my arse, it looks messy to me. Have you a lot of books with a '.' at the end of their titles?

Well, the period only really adds finality to short titles, such as, of course, "The Tower."  I suppose it would have seemed a bit messy if Tolkien had written "The Lord of the Rings."  (Don't think I'm giving in to you, though; I thought of this about two days ago and forgot to post it.)
