Other Generators
Over the years I’ve visited many, many generator sites. As with everything in life, some things suck and some things rock. This page is a list of other generators that I’ve found to be exceedingly useful, full of content, or just plain funny. If there’s a generator site you think should be on this list, contact me and I’ll check it out. Several sites are marked NSFW (Not Safe For Work) because their contents contain dirty or work-inappropriate language, so if you’re at work or school, be careful clicking these links. So far I haven’t seen any sites with inappropriate advertising, but if you find one, let me know and I’ll mark them with the NSFW tag.Recommended
These sites are highly recommended for their quality, quantity, and usefulness.

Seventh Sanctum
Seventh Sanctum is my go-to site if I need to generate absolutely anything at all. The evil name generators in particular are both fun to play with as well as useful, and the other silly generators on that site just might give you ideas… or really bad fan fiction plotlines!
-
Chaotic Shiny
Chaotic Shiny is one of my favorite generators because they’ve got so MANY useful generators. Whether you’re a GM needing help populating a crowd at the market for your thief to decide who he wants to steal from or a player who wants some help coming up with her character background, Chaotic Shiny has plenty of generators to explore.
-
Demonweb / Donjon
Donjon’s name generators in particular are very well-made and are actually useful and varied. There are many more generators than what you see on the sidebar – make sure you hit the Index to see all of the Donjon generators.
-
Serendipity
Serendipity used to have excellent name generators, but the site got hacked and the owner hasn’t put all of the generators back up on the new site yet.
Other Generators
There's always a few oddballs that just don't fit in any other category.
-
Feldark Realms Fake Word Generator
This fake word generator will generate pronounceable words from a list of English, German, or Latin bases, and quite a few results are useable as names.
Just for Fun
These generator sites are just for fun.
-
Corporate Gibberish Generator
The Corporate Gibberish Generator will give you an entire SCREEN full of buzzword-stuffed copy that your self-important, overly pompous bureaucrats can spout at the next business meeting!
-
Fifty Shades Generator NSFW
From the site: “Fledgling authors! Spice up your otherwise lacklustre novel with graphic sex scenes guaranteed to get your readers hot under the collar, and slightly sick in their mouths.” This generator is absolutely hilarious and totally NSFW, but if you absolutely have to include the Net.Book of Sex in your campaign, why not spice it up with this generator?
-
The 60-Second Horoscope Generator
Struggling to find high-quality horoscopes to help you guide your life? Not satisfied with the slow update schedule of some horoscope publishers? TheHitman’s 60-Second Horoscope Generator will present you with a brand-new horoscope every minute throughout the day!
Lorem Ipsum
These generators will put out Lorem Ipsum-esque text, although aside from the "official" Lipsum generator, they all have their own unique twists to them.
-
Lorem Ipsum
This is THE Lorem Ipsum generator useful for when you need large blocks of pseudo-random Latin to put somewhere. Although not strictly useful for gaming purposes, as a webdev I use this generator all the time.
-
Bacon Ipsum
Use Bacon Ipsum to generate your lorem ipsum text with a glorious and generous heaping of meat, delicious meat. Not for vegetarians!
-
Duck Island Greeking Machine
Duck Island’s Greeking machine generates Lorem Ipsum-style text in several flavors. Although the standard generator produces Latin-esque text, the pseudo-German generator might be useful for “Nazis Win” alternate Earth campaigns, or the Matrix generator could be used to generate computer screen placeholder gibberish…
-
Samuel L. Ipsum Generator NSFW
For when you need some @#$%&! placeholder text right @#$%&! now!
Not Really Gaming-Related
These generators are not really gaming-related but perhaps you might find them useful.
-
Impossibility!
Although this is a domain name generator, it’s actually one of the better ones I’ve found out there.
