My main argument against categorization is that it is extremely arbitrary to say what 'gender' a name is, especially with ones without cultural history.

eg. Mary.
Female of course. Why not Gary? Same ending.
eg:
Akira. Male Japanese name.

The only generic answer is not to categorize, though I have no problems with added lists being categorized, or someone organizing their own lists using the names here.

Just root through the list and find something you like :)

That's fair. I'll look at doing that, though organizing multiple column tables is a bit.. tedious :) Go to Comment

This sub is a good source of names as well as its true use: These_Are_Our_Gods Go to Comment

I would appreciate if it was separated into boy names, girl names, and specified in the title that these are NPC names and not tavern names or town names. Go to Comment

Ditto. Will hold off voting till I see a bit more organisation, but good idea. Go to Comment

Well, if you don't want to divide them into genders, I would still advocate putting them in alphabetical order, to make them easier to survey. Go to Comment

Quest: The_Orc_Mangler

I liked the water sword best. Go to Comment

Good stuff, lot of possebilities for creative folks. This alchemy is good for low-magic campaigns, but might also contain a nasty surprise for high-magic campaigns.

"Maybe, but this is alchemic, not magical....." Go to Comment

very cool concoctions! And I like the voice of the piece, adding entertainment value to the reading. Firewater and Utterblack are my faves. Go to Comment

Update: Putting this out there - looking to do some spring cleaning on my in-works submissions. Go to Comment

If Firewater can't transfer its heat to incombustible materials, it would be pretty useless for forging things with, though I'm sure an adventuring party could find a dozen deadly uses for it in no time flat. Can it be reheated once it has cooled down?

I also really liked "Instant Trolls" (the name made me laugh), and the Transformifier, as the effects aren't permanent. That would be one way to introduce a little of the drama of a "Deck of Many Things" without permanently altering someone's precious PC. It's a potential gold mine for RP-oriented players.

Theric's firewater could be a very utilitarian tool for the creative adventurer. It could be used as a smokeless cook fire (without the fire), and all an clever smith would need is a small anvil and a hammer and you have a portable smithy.

I love these ideas! Thinking outside the box and creativity are 2 things that i hold high in any RPG, and these do a good job at that.
Awsome idea of the Utterblack. Go to Comment

I liked the Utterblack especially. I've got a thing for alternate realities and dimensions, so I feel it could be quite useful in some of my games. An interesting submission. Go to Comment
