Fantasy Grounds Conversion by Mark (Marmus) Gaffney

This Fantasy Grounds module contains 824 individual 1d20 rollable tables of names. The Reference Book contains all text from the PDF version. With a multitude of explanations on the use and structure of names for various cultures. Include many fun extra tables on topics like foods, places, customs of historic and fictional cultures, etc. Everything from Maori, Russian, and Chinese to Hobo. 

From the foreword:

"Jason Morningstar, a man who clearly understands the value of an evocative name, got the idea of harnessing the awesome might of Story-Games.com, a community of story-oriented gamers, to put together a whole book of name lists drawn from different cultures. This volume is the fruit of that effort, and I have to say I’m impressed with the results. I knew about the project, but until Jason asked me to write this introduction I hadn’t realized that in amongst the more pedestrian “Byzantine Greek” and “Sengalese” lists were gems like “Creepy Campus,” “Owlbear,” and “Ridiculous Hobo.” There’s tons of great inspiration here, and hardly a Bob among them."
