Following a link from an Indie Comic Book Creator friend of mine, led me to the Pen and Cape Society.

A number of different authors in the Superhero Genre all working together, links to their works, some articles and podcasting going on as well.

Creatures and Character Inspirations and Random Generation

Creatures and Character Inspirations and Random Generation

So on FB I saw an ad for a game titled Magerealm: Rise of Chaos. In the ad there was a card or character titled Inferno Bear which lead immediately to thinking about conditions and creatures combined into PCs, NPCs, or Monsters. So see the following list where you roll or chose on Column 1 and then on Column 2 to create something random.

In looking them over they should work the best for Superhero style games as well as monsters in Horror or in Post Apoc Games as well. Feel free to mix and match to your hearts content of course. 

Take into account that conditions like Electric can also stand for Electrified or Electrical. Alternate terms are not included in the base table though. Ice can be Ice, Icy, Icicle, and so on, in further example. Looking over the choices some of them are not the most viable, so take that into account and alter accordingly. 

These tables are made before I actually start playing the game. So take them for what they are worth.

Random Name Generator Lists for either Heroes or Villains for the Supers Genre

So in the overall blogosphere of gaming, random lists are making a serious comeback.
From products available for sale to short lists suitable for hexcrawl creation, tons of lists as content are out there.

I am a fan of random lists at times. Helps me in the creation and oftentimes the fleshing out of an adventure or scenario.

There does seem to be a lack of lists for the Superhero Genre that I can tell. So here is a starting point, for me, to expand into this perceived lack.

Following are 2 d100 lists of words, mostly pulled from the 2 main Comic Publishers, along with a liberal dose of other common terms as well. Organized into a mostly alphabetical order and posted here for your use.

Some discretion is needed. Some of the random results are well, random. But with a little mix and match and use as inspiration heroes and villains can be named and then from their name, abilities can be derived.

Here are some sample die rolls and what can be made from them

11, 18, 40
With both tables comes up with the following possible combos

Britain
China
Fist

Cat
Dog
Light

So then some decent possible combinations using these words could include:
LightFist
China Cat
The Fist of China
The Fist of Britain

So more examples using a smaller set could be
Die Rolls of  64 and 24 which results in
Crimson
Green
Lash
Spider

So Crimson Lash, Crimson Spider, or Green Spider.
A villainous Crimson Lash and 2 possible more pulp styled heroes, either the Crimson or the Green Spider

Go ahead and takes some rolls and see what you are inspired to create.

Here is a Random Number Generator Website as well. I have no affiliation with this site, but it claims to be truly random based on atmospheric noise.
