I could have done with this 20 odd years ago, back when I used to run Dungeons & Dragons games and created computer games. It is a site full of name generators. It complements the Dungeon Generator covered in an earlier story.

The categories covered include : Anime/Manga, Art, Beings, Characters, Combat, Darkness/Evil, Equipment, Humor, Magic, Media/Fandom, Names, Organizations, Setting, Superheroes/Sentai, Skills/Abilites/Traits, Technology and Writing. Many of these have multiple generators- there must be at least 50 possibly more.

Say you are a writer and need a few Sci fi Government names- no problems.

• Blessed and Perfected Temporary Syndicate
• Brotherhood of Fiefs
• Cooperative Communist Republic
• Liberated Imperium of City-States
• Liberated Principality of States

or perhaps themes for stories. (Don't take these seriously- but they are fun!)

• This story starts in a nuclear power plant. In it, a seasoned priest works with a cunning chemist. What starts as friendship soon turns into true love.
• This story takes place in a health spa in Amsterdam. In it, a tireless psychiatrist runs into a gambler with uncanny abilities. What starts as hate unexpectedly turns into true love.

Makes you wonder if the phrase Cunning Linguist will ever occur- Cunning chemist! Finally here are a few ancient Greeks you never heard of. (Obviously from Greek mythology in a parallel universe!)

• Halybrot
• Hantesi
• Hiusenale
• Nusiaeno
• Otutus

You can have a lot of fun with this website. Very clever and the creator even explains how he devises generators. As for me, I think I'll have a drink- but so many places to go…

• The Mug and the Flagon
• The Priest and Dutchess
• The Sad Quail's Saloon
• The Tavern of Eagles
• The Warrior and Harpy
