Actually... that's not a bad idea.

Name the Brothel
"The Plot Hook"

And you know what ? Make it a faux-french brothel. The english word "plot" sounds exactly (and spells almost) like a slang word for the female genitalia...

That doesn't make adding "hook" any better.

Maybe I'm old school, but for me tavern, inn and brothel names should be entirely visual, with an easily understood icon representing the name, because a significant part of the society is illiterate (but valued customers).

from above:
Salty Clam, Wet Seal, Tilting Lance, Rusty Scabbard, Ruddy Knees

new:
Butterchurn, Happy Eel, Rose Garden

It's steampunk, eh.

[Man on Fire]

Random Encounters I would think that "The Plot Hole" would be more appropriate.

How about "Plot Twist"?

The Reward (also serves ale)
The Masterwork Inn (to amuse other characters while the item crafters are doing their thing)
The Changeling's Secret (caters to all kinds)

I like this one.

What about The Gay Blade?

[Shadowknight12]

I like this one.

I'm actually stealing this one for a campaign. It will be good.

[SetArk]

Well an player of mine opened one on one of my old campaings... It were called "Portable Hole"
(We are brazilians so in portuguese it sounds funnier... "Buraco Portatil")

Well, I was actually in dire need of a good name for a rowdy CG swashbucklers/swords-for-hire guild (founded by a satyr, ironically enough), and this is just the best fit I could have possibly asked for. I had always intended it to work as a mostly-male brothel for adventurers, but this name just cinches it perfectly.

Now I just need a hilarious catchphrase. Something like "Take our swords into your hands" or "We stand behind you."

If it works for you, I guess.

And just how much gay do you have in your games, exactly? I'm assuming your players don't mind?

"For the whored!"

"The Gay Blades: Coming Together In Difficult Times."

[Kalirren]

"The Scent of Miso."

Seriously - My great-aunt ran a brothel by that name.

[grarrrg]

Nothing but Ale and Whores
And we're fresh out of Ale

Well, I have yet to have a single player who wasn't a yaoi fangirl or a gay/bi dude, so there is basically omnipresent gay in my games. I am a fan of balance in all things, however, so I try to have some lesbianism whenever I can as well. My basic rule is "one lesbian couple for every gay couple" (in this case, the mostly-female adventurer-brothel is a druidic sisterhood).

"For the whored!"

"The Gay Blades: Coming Together In Difficult Times."

The first one is very witty, but the second one slew me. I can already imagine all the snickering. Thanks!

Nothing saying you can't use the first as their battle-cry.

I always thought that:

A good brothel has a Changeling on staff.

A great brothel has a Doppelganger on staff.

A superlative brothel has a...

Spoiler

Show

Phasm on staff!



*Note: Read up on this creature in the Monster Manual, to see a bit of extra stuff there. This creature was designed for D&D 3.0e, so there isn't any ecology of the Phasm article or anything I know about, though there is a 3rd party writeup on pathfinder SRD. Mostly... their shapechanging capabilities are greatly superior to that of Doppelgangers.

Because of that giant amorphous wang in the picture?

Also, hagunemnons are better. They're effectively immune to being outed by True Seeing (as they have no innate form), can be ANY nondeific being, they can mix and match parts for up to 4 critters at once (meaning you can satisfy some very interesting fetishes), their Profession skills will be uber-high (for better income...as it were), and their shapeshifting talent is Extraordinary in nature -- the only such one in the game I'm aware of.

Argentina, unfortunately! Getting players down here is like finding free money on the street.

So I mostly make do with PbP. Them's the breaks!

Oh, those zany orcs.

[Calanon]

can be ANY nondeific being

Damn... I guess my dream of bedding with 12 Mystra's, Shar, Vecna, and Orcus all at once will just remain that... a dream

Sounds more like a nightmare, really.

Also, I like the look of the un-hidden form of the Phasm better than the Hagunemnon, even discounting the wang-looking bit, which I assume is a 'sensory organ', due to the description.

Anyway, Phasm can change into, "almost any other creature or object" and doesn't have to concentrate to keep the shape, like a Hagunemnon does. Also, the Hagunemnon has the description of "form constantly boils", which I take it to mean it takes the basic SHAPE, but the textures and features still are implied look like.... that. Ewww. Yea, Phasm is better... less intimidating too...

Hagunemnons are psionic, and it's easy to get lots of move actions to concentrate on holding its shape by epic levels. Plus I'm pretty sure it only boils if it doesn't concentrate; otherwise it works just like Shapechange (except, y'know, with multiple critters thrown in if it likes).

Seriously, by epic it could easily overcome any and all issues.
