Lazy DM Needs Help w/ India-style Cities & Names

[Angcuru]

ask Angcuru about it when he gets on(either later or tomorrow).

trust me, you would all prefer to remain ignorant. let's just say that the stench of mixed spices excreted by indi-sweat becomes quite powerful during the summer months.

Mirthcard, Urbannen, and NiTessine, thanks for the excellent suggestions. Those were all really helpful.

Too lazy! There are lots of books in any public library that will give you more than you could use in a lifetime of D&D; hit the history, travel, architecture, and language sections for the most useful materials, based on your question.
I mean, come on...hit the books!

Yeah, yeah, I know. Work's just really busy right now and I'm not getting a lot of free time to prepare. I've got a session Friday and I know they're planning on going to this part of my world.

Ah, how I long for the days when I was in college and could spend hours in the college library doing "research" for my campaign. College students don't know how good they have it.

That's a great naming site - I love the "naming practices" section.

Okay, now I have too much to try to read before Friday...

But, thank you all!

I had a lot of fun running the Mystara Hollow World scenario 'Nightstorm', set in an Indian-style culture. Plus it has a hugely epic plot involving the river of time and the birth of the universe...
