Name Generators - DM tools

Need some inspiration for naming your character or npcs? There are many random generators and listings easily findable online. Here are some of the better ones from among them:

Fantasy Name Generator by ringworks

My favorite generator, for the amount of bizarre words it creates. Provides a large table of more than 70 randomly composed names each time. I always find like 12 good names per table.

Squid’s Random Name Generator

Gives a short list that tends to give more usable results than some others.

Fantasy Name Generator

Good selection, mostly pre-made names. Click on the bottom portraits to choose race.

Resource: Writing a Fighter

So you want to write a fighter–a “tough” character who is trained in the art of Martial Arts or is a pro-boxer. Or perhaps your character just tends to pick a lot of fights on the street. Whatever the case may be, it’s important to sound educated when describing a fight but also to pace yourself: just like writing a sex scene or creating good dialogue, writing violence and fights is a skill all in its own. Here are some resources I hope will help:

What are your thoughts on this week’s updates?

A) Slayer Belt

B) Challenge Gems

C) Patch Notes

Give us a mark /10 for each!

[teamdark80]

A) 9/10 only reason it isn't a perfect 10 is how long this has been needed since the tool belt was first introduced!

B) 5/10 it seems kind of neat... But I'm worried this may lead to a resurgence of gambling, and another avenue for scammers. I know those who insist on breaking the rules will always find a way, but this seems like it's deliberately handing them new tools. Please prove me wrong.

8/10 always love the solid and much needed work the ninja team does. While I love most of the content you guys create, I would make the argument, nay, the boast, that the ninja team is one of the top three greatest additions you've made to RS as a whole, if not the greatest. Keep up the amazing work, everyone!

Let’s Start in the Middle

The opening moments of this Summer’s Avengers: Age of Ultron were a very pleasant surprise, starting the film off on a foot that I wasn’t prepared for. Given how Joss Whedon’s original 2012 film ended, with the various super heroes riding off into their individual sunsets (and films) - I was ready for the first act of the film to be a “getting the band back together” sort of deal.

Those who have seen the film (and given it’s box office numbers, I assume that’s all of you) know that this isn’t the case. When Age of Ultron begins, the heroes are already united as The Avengers once again, and well into an explosion packed mission. It’s on us, the viewer, to get on board with the scene and reverse engineer what happened up to this point through the dialogue of the characters.

We call this starting in media res - literally from latin in the middle of things - and it’s one of my favorite ways to begin a session of Dungeons & Dragons.

I remember my group’s first campaign, all of us first time players, and our DM a newbie as well. Nearly every session would begin with our characters nonchalantly somewhere - the local pub, or our base of operations - poking and prodding until we ran into the correct NPC that would assign us the quest for the evening. There are a lot of things wrong with this, we were new to the game, but so many DMs still begin their games with significantly more of a whimper than a bang.

Do you want to go to a James Bond movie, and see it begin with 007 wandering around London buying bullets? Probably not - it would set the completely wrong tone for an adventure movie. Your players likely feel the same way - why kick off their exploits with bookkeeping and narrative loitering?

The only limit of Dungeons and Dragons is your imagination… and whether your parents think it’s satanic.
