This is a simple generator is designed to allow a GameMaster to quickly generate titles, perhaps for adventures, evocative of the works of H. P. Lovecraft or, perhaps, those authors who came after him. As well as being titles for adventures, they could also be used as titles for creatures, or perhaps even the name of strange monsters. How to Use the Tables Table 1 is loosely "things" Table 2 is prepositions Table 3 is loosely "places" Table 4 is a collection of alternative specific places If the preposition from Table 2 doesn't make sense, when considered against the results from Tables 1 and 3, roll it again. If the result as a whole doesn't seem to make sense and the term is used very loosely roll again as well until a better combination is achieved. The results from Table 3 can, if suitable, be made plural or singular as desired. As an alternative, Table 3 can also be replaced by using the proper names of places or even people such as those from Table 4, which provides a number of general and specific locations, mostly associated with Earth or the Mythos. Alternatively, the GM can pick and choose their own specific locations or people from their own setting or otherwise to use to replace the results from Table 3 instead of using the fourth table.
