10thousands of names, 100shops (with each 50 weapons) and 100 taverns

[Buttercup]

Fimp also asked about prices in taverns. Decide on three standard price lists. The filthy, louse ridden, stale beer price list, the clean but plain price list and the super deluxe, gourmet price list. Then, each time they come to a tavern, use whichever list fits. Then stop worrying about it.

Ebon works free, it just won't generate mroe than five names at a time unless you pay the guy his 4 bucks or whatever.

If it worries you, just generate 5 names at a time.

It will take you a hell of a time to make a list with 100 names in that way!

Click a button twenty times? You're not a video gamer are you

If you really think it's a big effort, then just pay him his pittance and get it unlocked.

i was just thinking the same thing! man, fimp, you wouldn't describe yourself as......ahh....somewhat "unmotivated" at times, would you alright, just kidding. but seriously, it doesn't take that much time to hit a button 20 times!

What can a DM do when the party arrives at a metropolis?
You need to invent a name for every person they meet, invent prices at each tavern they come too and tell them which weapons the smith has in his shop.

ITS IMPOSSIBLE!!! At least to me, it has happened more than once the players laughed at the names i invented for some NPCs.
I know theres a lot of "computergenerators" out there, but i dont want to use a computer in my game...

Help!

Believe me I know the feeling all too well!

In the LEJENDARY ADVENTURE core rules book LEJEND MASTER'S LORE I have listed shop types with goods generally stocked. and that's a help.

In the world builder series coming from Troll Lord Games there will be a whole volume dedicated to places where characters go--what the shop looks like, what it has for sale, etc.

Also coming in the same line is a book of names--people, places, monsters, etc. This will have lists and name generator tables too.

Having spend countless hours working on projects where instead of being creative I was trying to come up with rather ordinary filler material of this sort, I do believe that many a person will breath a sigh of relief when those books are available. I know for sure I will.

The Name generator you find here:

http://spitfire.ausys.se/johan/names/default.htm

can also generate name lists from files, so you dont get dwarven names when you want elven, and its FREE. So IMO better than EBoN

I just tried this out, my favorite random Warhammer style orc name - Dragonpuncher this is great, thanks for posting.

Check out http://www.Kabalarians.com/html/surf-by.htm it has lists of names by ethnic groups. It was pointed out to me in my indian names thread.

i'm confused. weren't you the one who originally decried the fact that you could only generate 5 names at a time?
