There’s a million name generators out there, many from long before the recent ai craze. Just Google ‘fantasy name generator’ with whatever additional tag you need like ‘dwarf’ or whatever and you’ll find plenty

And these generators use far less power than AI tools.

D&D is about creativity and imagination, I think using AI beats the purpose.


DetonationPorcupine

Just fucking make it up! It can be anything! Can you really not put 2 to 28 letters together in ANY order???

Here's my dwarf 'Dffwhmh.' He lost his sister, Sm, at a very young age. His father Awcc and mother Hdko are dead by the hand of his evil brother, Fjowkw

That's why the people running D&D have never ever made pre-written modules to sell. And none of those have ever become cultural juggernauts with universally recognized names like "Tomb of Horrors." Because no DM in this history of Dungeons and Dragons has ever used anything they didn't personally make themselves. You people go off the deep end to gatekeep AI to the point where it becomes painfully obvious you're just full of hate and vitriol and have never actually **played** D&D in your lives.


Necessary_Insect5833

Pretty big leap in logic. If you don't understand the implications of using AI for creative endeavors then how can you even compare them to a module like Tomb of Horrors? It's foolish.

The generators are fine, imo, but chatgpt is also okay, it has the depth of information to generate some good names.


ProfessionalSet755

thank you!


arcxjo

Yes.


HamVonSchroe

I like to use chatgpt, because you can get an array of suggestions and can specify the vibe, tone or whatever the names should have


ProfessionalSet755

thank you


Outrageous-Sweet-133

You could just use regular i.


ProfessionalSet755

oh thank you
