Companies Invented for Your Games

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

DNA Inc. for Werewolf the Apocalypse.

I used to not like games. They seemed to me an absolutely boring and useless activity. After a while I realized that this was not the case. I got addicted to them. However, I soon got bored with them anyway. And then I recently stumbled upon a site with casino reviews. Well, it was an amazing find for me. Now the game world has opened up for me in a whole new way and play with new colors.

Scarlett Empress: An upscale Chinese restaurant with three Michelin stars in an otherwise unremarkable city. The Scarlet Empress imports chefs from the finest culinary academies in Hong Kong (and also "imports" most of its regular staff from mainland China). Serves dishes such as saltwater duck, prawns with phoenixtails, and sharkfin soup.

I used Isekai Logistics & Delivery as a throwaway joke in one of my Hunter groups, but the players decided they really needed to uncover their connections to Stygia and completely ignore the meticulously planned out tech company run by a Mummy.

Players. What can you do.

-It hasn't got really got a name except "something unpronounceable in easter 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.

I can see a downtrodden sleeper saying, "Oh, this car is literally shit, according to the makers. It's probably all I can afford. I'll take it.".

-summer Isle groceries, a small food manufacturing company secretly owned by a verbrenna archmaster with the express purpose of ensuring good quality natural food in the typically shitty wod market and a steady source of wealth to verbenna interests. Grown of a remote Scottish Isle and a simular Isle of Alaska.

I also have Verbena farmers in my campaign.

Mallard coffee,small coffee franchise owned by nine mystic traditions, acts as support network for apprentices, acolytes and sorcerors who still need a day job or support networks.

I like when the scene takes place at a cafe, while we're sitting around my friend's table with warm cups.
