Urban Horror Encounters

Running an urban horror game, or a contemporary game where creepy gets to be a factor? Look no further, we have plenty of ideas for eerie and chill-inducing randomness. Some of it isn’t even supernatural because life itself can be plenty scary at times.

This generator currently has 61 entries.

Give me five!

A mugger in a dark alley; completely mundane, nothing unusual or supernatural about the scene at all. Keep players thinking that there has to be; watch them flail while they try to decide whether to attack or defend against what looks entirely too normal to actually just be a normal thug with a knife.
Traffic accidents happen. Usually, there’s nothing supernatural about them at all.
Whatever the name of this street, take it at face value. It’s not good to be Patrick on Kilpatrick Road.
A perfectly normal situation requiring a perfectly normal clerk, sales assistant, realtor, or whatever other function may be called upon. The person does their job to the best of their ability and acts perfectly normal—but it’s a little eerie that they’re dressed in 1960s fashions, talks like 1960, and have mannerisms that belong in 1960s. The fact that they’re a little bit see-through in sharp light might prove awkward, too.
Grandma died and now her nurse turned up a will leaving the house to the nurse. Grandma's ghost is following her son around, and those sensitive to otherworldly presences might even perceive her -- though whether she's gloating that the loaf of a son isn't getting a dime, or wringing her hands because the evil nurse is stealing the inheritance, who knows?

Silvanian name generator

Silv-whatnow?

This generator produces a random character name, male or female, customised for a specific, as of yet unpublished game setting. Names that can be used anywhere you need a quick NPC whose name is drawn from a predominantly Frankish or Old English background, with a touch of the Latin languages on the side.

The generator picks gender randomly, so if you need a name belonging to a specific gender you may have to refresh a few times.

Give me a Silvanian name then!

A typical female Silvanian name: Arisa Chestnut.

A typical female Silvanian name: Berie Owlwood.

A typical male, Silvanian name: Eldric Oakford.

A typical female Silvanian name: Iris Lister.

Inn, pub or tavern: What’s it called?

An inn needs a name! This generator offers five randomly generated name suggestions for inns, pubs, and taverns. Most suggestions are based off traditional (mostly British) naming conventions.

In addition, you get three genuine names of inns, pubs or taverns from real life (mostly the UK), for inspiration. Some are of mythical origin, some offer specific services. Some are named for historical figures or events, and some are just plain funny. A few are named for the clearly mythical and never-actually-seen, such as the Honest Politician.

This generator provides a randomly generated inn or tavern name, as well as an example of an actual, historical inn somewhere in the real world.

Show me some names!

Your inn might be called:
  • The Lazy Bull
  • The Chequered Ewe
  • The Rusty Arms
  • The Fiddle and Weasel
  • The Wolf and Friar
Real life trumps imagination. How about ...
  • the Kilt and Clover in Ontario, Canada, named for its owners. The husband is of Scottish descent, the wife of Irish.
  • the Windmill. A common name for pubs situated near wind- and watermills back in the day.
  • the Saracen's Head and Turk's Head, names that commemorate the enemies faced by the Crusaders, and later, the Barbary pirates.
To generate another set of names, simply refresh the page.

Does your local inn, pub or tavern have a curious or funny name? Drop a note in the comments for inclusion!
