Dungeoneering is coming back! I’m going to make an effort to put new D100 lists up every week since they are, by far, the most popular thing on the site.
This week, we’re revisiting Fantasy Women’s names. Some are completely made up, while others are based on real medieval names.
It’s been awhile since I served up a D100 list, so here’s one for filling out a kitchen.
Not sure why I didn’t come up with this one sooner, but Game of Thrones is very inspiring in terms of game content. Not the least of which are names for swords. Great swords in that world all have names so their history can be passed down from owner to owner.
Suggested by reader Nick Wright, I just had to do it. You have felled the big-bad-evil-doer. But then what? He just lays there? She says nothing? No, we must have a dramatic death!
Being able to describe an object, not just what it is, but what it looks like, is the difference between an OK game and a good game. Besides, many players have picked up the trick that if you (the game master) have taken the time to describe something, it’s important. Here’s a little tool to help you make everything have a description.
The concept is pretty simple: Roll a D100 for the first part of the name on the first list, the another D100 on the second list for the latter half. Put them together and voila, you have a fantasy name worthy of Tolkien himself.
OK, not nearly enough “Modern” content, so here’s a list of plausible modern street names. Just so your PCs get ahold of the right gangster this time.
I gave you music for them, now I’m giving you a list of what to call them when you get there.
