A Title?

Believe it or not, "Ballad of the Bard" is not the intended final title for this work. I just needed something close enough in order name the blog, and to have something pithier than "that computer parody novel" when I referred to it.

My current top contender is:

The Eight-Bit Bard: 
A fantasy novel set to the tune of classic computer role-playing games

But that's not set in stone. I've considered a lot of others. The major points a title needs to hit are that it's basically a fantasy novel, but that it also ties in heavily with older computer games, especially RPGs. Some other ideas have included:

* A Bard, a Ssorceror, and a DOS Prompt

* Hit Points: One Bard's Tale

Plus  a bunch of others that I've since discarded. But, what do you say? Nothing is set in stone until the whole project is finished and I've given it another one or two drafts. I'm open to suggestions or modifications. As I said, something that evokes a blend of fantasy novel and old computer games would be ideal.
