Turnip28 Snob Name Generator

Turnip28 is a weird setting with weird names like ‘Von Sneg’ and ‘Tod’. It can be hard to come up with names that sound somewhat European but also weird and rooty and apocalyptic and absurd, so I’ve made a series of tables to help generate them. Although they can create names for anyone in the Turnip universe, they’re mainly aimed at making names for snobs, so they lean more regal and adorned. If you want your name to be even more snobbish, try rolling multiple times on the first name or title/nickname tables. More names = more fancy.

First, roll to determine whether your given name will be masculine, feminine, or neutral. The masculine and feminine names are mostly real names (but more on the archaic side), while the neutral names are mostly things I made up or took from other Turnip media. The real names are mostly English, French, and German in origin.

Gender (d6)

1-2 Masculine
3-4 Neutral
5-6 Feminine

Then roll on the appropriate table to get your name.

And finally, roll for your title or nickname. Each entry states in parentheses whether it should go before, after, or between your first and last names. If it says ‘before or after’ flip a norbert to decide where it goes, or choose whichever sounds better. It usually sounds nicer if you remove the ‘the’ when placing a title before your name.

Three d100 Battlemap Generators

Imagine how much more boring the Pirates of the Caribbean movies would be if instead of riding water wheels and swinging from chandeliers, every fight took place in a plain grassy field. Unfortunately that’s how I find a lot of RPG fights can feel. I really want that sense of swashbuckling action when I run combat in RPGs, but without an interesting environment it just doesn’t happen, and interesting environments can be hard to come up with on the fly, especially for sandbox campaigns where you have to do so often. I try to add interesting details, but my brain can never come up with anything truly unique in the spur of the moment. I’ve had far too many battles take place around locked, featureless buildings scattered with ambiguously filled crates.

So to help with creating interesting environments I’ve made three d100 tables to generate interesting features for either nature, interiors, or settlements. Roll or pick a couple of times from the most fitting table and you’ve got yourself a unique combat scene in seconds.

You could roll on multiple tables for certain environments, like using nature and settlement for an elven forest village, or interior and nature for an abandoned overgrown building. You might need to reroll occasionally for certain environments, like with the interior table if you’ve already got your building’s purpose in mind, but most entries should fit in most situations. A lot of the interior entries dictate what kind of building it is, which can cause some strange results, but these can also be the spark of an interesting idea. Maybe there’s a forge in the church because they worship a god of the forge and see smithing as a sacred ritual.

If you want to make your combats even more interesting, I’d recommend adding environmental conditions. A fight with the same characters in the same location feels completely different at night in the rain versus in broad daylight while a riot is taking place and the palace is burning down. I don’t have any generators for these conditions, as they're usually tied more closely to the players and the events in the game world. It would be a little weird for a riot to suddenly break out with no warning or relation to the PCs’ actions, and there are plenty of good weather tables out there already. But still, if you'd be interested in event or weather tables, let me know, and I might give them a go in the future.

I will leave you with this:

Ice melts when you pour water on it because the water is warmer than it, but what if you use water that's colder than the ice?
