Picking the first 13 generators

· by JC

I almost made like 40 generators on day one. That was a bad idea. I’d still be stuck writing elf middle names.

Thirteen felt right. Enough that the homepage isn’t sad. Not so many that I never launch.

Rough split:

  • Fantasy names (elves, dwarves, taverns, kingdoms) because people actually search that stuff
  • TTRPG tools (loot, NPCs, dice) because I’ll use those myself
  • Sci-fi names so it’s not all medieval
  • Band names / usernames / passwords for people who aren’t into dice
  • A decision spinner because my friends cannot pick lunch

Everything plugs into one engine so adding more later is mostly just dumping in new lists. That’s the whole trick. No fancy AI stuff running in the background, just arrays and bad luck.
