Name

Did the author (or someone else) explain the choice of the name? --Altenmann >talk 21:10, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found this in an interview that Charles Dunwoody did with Daniel Sell for EN World:

"CD: If Troika! isn’t about a Russian vehicle pulled by a team of three horses abreast or a group of three administrative or managerial people working together then how did you come up with the name of the RPG and city of Troika!?

DS:

It’s a word that convincingly sits between fiction and reality and can have some resonant weight while also being fun to say. Troika the city is the way into the world for the players. If it was called, for instance, Boslog you’re just moving towards this distant thing that you’ll have to build up (or not) meaning around, while Troika you’re already taking some baggage with you and might find some fun synchronicities. Nonsense words are never very fun."

I was asking not of personal curiosity, but as a question that will pop up in the mind of anybody, so this info must be in the article. --Altenmann >talk 01:18, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
