Random Chart: Quick Demon Name Generator...

Good Afternoon, All:

Today's post is short and simple. I hadn't posted a random table in a while, so I thought I'd post a Quick Demon Name Generator table, just in case someone might have need of one. Simply roll d100 twice, once for the start of the demon's name, and once for the end of the demon's name. Fill free to modify the results to taste.

For example, if I needed to name a balor for my next adventure, I could simply roll two d100s on the following two tables. If I were to roll a 43, followed by a 62, that would give us "Hebin" for the beginning, and "ias" for the ending, or "Hebinias" as the demon's name.

You could also use this for any planar creature's name, but since demons make such great bad guys for PCs to kill, that's typically how I would use this table.

How did I come up with these tables? I simply took a huge list of demon names from the Master Monster Index on the Sulerin website, and parsed them into prefixes and suffixes using a simple Java app I wrote. I then shortened the list of name parts down to the fifty most frequent, and when there were ties, I took only the ones that sounded really cool. I've done the same with a number of common languages, and with various monster names, for use in my own personal campaign. Over time, I may post more of these tables here, if there's interest, of course.

At any rate, I hope this helps. If you use this, please post one of your created names in the comments section, and give me a little bit of an idea how you will be using it. Inspiration for new adventures and NPCs comes from the most interesting places.

More Tomorrow,
