Ive jsut started a game, and my world has been called 'Ibonk' , I'm wondering if they are using a randomish genrator or just a realy long list <G>
From what I've gathered. It's not total gibberish. That's not to say it's always elegant.
I believe it's some style provided for the base game. So it's either going down a list of pieces to attach to itself to and thus comes up with odd ones.
Or it is using a functional list to go off of premade names.
Then again, as I've been playing D&D forever, I've used several name generators over the years, that are script functions that put together words from a vast list, and generate a name off or it. And some are thematic, because they are from separate lists. And some are based upon real world naming conventions.
What I feel so far from most of these is that they are very "Ancient" Earth inspired. From babylonian/roman/greek/thracian and others.
But sometimes, we get just ridiculous names. And maybe they'll reveal more details to us. So we can in theory maybe find out how they are generated so we can put in our own "bits" as it were.
I do apologise if anyone has a name like that, but I really don't know HOW to pronounce.
Wam-oon-is-per?
i guess you'd pronounce it Wa-am-UU-EN-Is-Per
anyways i'm certain they'll clean up the random generator abit before release.
I got a random name as the defualt for my guy once it was "Itune" I thought it was funny so i kept it.
I do hope they clean up the random name generator at some point. If it can give me something pronounceable ~90% of the time, I'll be happy.
However, I'd also like the ability to modify the name generator. That could be handy for mods, and would let me do funny things like feed it the Dwarf Fortress dictionary.
Well there are people called Christian
just my 2cents
Ps i like it as it is now i just random pick one based on wanting a short or long name till i find one i like.
It works as it is, and Ibonk is not a word that raises the esrb rating as far as I know. I had someone called "Yuwanna" or the like but eh. it works and if you don't like it just reroll the name.
A world where everyone starts with the spells summon Tuna and summon Visceral Tuna.
Would not some of them instead have no ability to summon tuna, but rather be granted other zoo related spells? "Mass-animal care" perhaps. "Clean water" would be highly useful in a zoo of tuna.
