This name sounds familiar. What does Kristallnacht mean?
There is a Harry Potter RPG called Kristallnacht at InsaneJournal.
A sample from the FAQ:
Is this really the best choice of names for your game?
We realize some people might look at the name and think, "Do they realize they just named their game after a horrific event in World War II?" And yes, we do, and were well aware of it when we named the game. We were drawing parallels between Grindelwald's actions and those in World War II. As you may notice, a few of the important events in our history even occur on the same dates as the historical events, and this was not by accident. Don't worry, we did our research, and we didn't just think, "Man, that sounds like a cool name, and I do like broken glass!" If you find it offensive at all, then we're really sorry. Like, really really. That wasn't our intent and we're really actually good people, I swear.
The comment section of the FAQ is growing with responses, and separate posts are being made.
A thread at asylum_promo where kdorian offers to pay for a rename token. Mods decline.
