This is mainly a note to myself, but as I struggle to make Penultima rules I invent have interesting, tantalising, and somewhat helpful without being completely obvious[1] names that are poetry in themselves, and am not especially practiced at the same, perhaps making the names of the list of ideas I need to transcribe public will spur me to improve:

Repton
Boulder
Taxicab
Cruciform
Space hopper
Crocodile Dundee
Ray gun
Hovercraft
Bolas
[White/Red] Queen

[1] Not that I've ever seen a too obvious rule, even a couple of completely obvious not-too-powerful rules in a game would be fine, and I'm probably pretty prone to making not-especially-obvious rules.
