Companies Invented for Your Games

DNA Inc. for Werewolf the Apocalypse.

That's an odd question. I don't know how to answer it.

I will give an example of my most recent one. Life Affirming Ethical Defenses (LEAD) is an It-X company that makes non-lethal weapons, force-field generating body-gear and countermeasures military technology that impairs the weapon-related functions of aircraft. They even make sound-guns for managing wildlife. Players in my Mage Chronicle have to investigate this company.

A new one that has popped up in our VTM game is The Ellis Detective Agency that is quietly run by a Nosferatu & Malkavian ancilla. They use it as a means to gather info recent Kindred arrivals and occult lore on the side.

ACES Corporation: Alpha Communications & Energy Syndicate: It's a collection of corporations that manufacture communications-devices, consumer-products, advanced military-vehicles and oil-products. I don't remember the details on who runs it, but they were all, American good ole'boys. looking to get richer and push their political-ideology in an Alternate-2000's. They had zero supernatural influence as they were written for a Cyberpunk-game.

First, in the '90's, they got themselves in a war with an Arab-dictator and then, they got themselves in a war for Antarctican oil with another corporation and they created a lot of machines ala Philip K. Dicks Second Variety short story (The movie, Screamers).

-It hasn't got really got a name except "something unpronounceable in eastern european" but they sell really shitty cars and the symbol is a horsefly. Effectively it shows up in wod if you need a car and either have 1 resource or only roll one success.on aquire car. Its a simpsons ref.

Like this one, you mean? Technically not unpronounceable at all - and since looking into most slavic languages generally gives something like muska anyway, one might go instead with Tabanidae, from good old latin for science, i guess.

Sort of, part of the joke is that westerners cannot pronounce the name (except the hermetic for obvious reasons) I think if I run an game in eastern europe I might have a western brand with some other loser animal and use a really awkward English word as the name.

Yes, i get what you meant, but unfortunately in my search for actual examples kept giving relatively simple names that are nowhere near the consonant salad pop culture has made us associate with languages from eastern european/iron curtain countries. Real life seems to have betrayed us on that one.
