Gnome Name Generator

I'm slowly working my way through the typical fantasy races and this time gnomes are getting the name generator treatment. I seeded this one with Golarion gnome name fragments, but there weren't a lot to work with and I had to expand into my own thematic interests. As per usual, resulting names will be on the cheesy side. ...

Dwarven Stone Whisperers

My Dungeon World campaign keeps trucking along and recently two of the PCs uncovered a secret dwarven item.

Dwarven Name Generator

I've decided to make a few more simple name generators. First up: dwarves. I prefer my dwarves to have cheesy names rather than more lore-friendly names based on your makebelieve language of choice is.
