It's your lucky dae!

there are english versions of most of the apps. It's all geared for 3rd ED, but hardly matters

Here's an online one that I rather like. More D&D, I suppose, but you can pretty much make it do anything. The powerful part about it is that you can say, "I want the name layout to have an opening vowel, a syllable, a consonant, then a syllable and another syllable, then the letter Y."

That works out to being an input of VsCss(y) and generates output such as:

# Oeisshoughvery
# Uartrisray
# Uilerloughnaly
# Aykaltiashy
# Eusulqskelwory

Which are pretty unwieldy names, for sure. Might tone that down to VsCs(y)

# Eestntiny
# Uperrily
# Eysayfosy
# Idanshaty

Hey, those aren't bad!

This place has several name generators. Quick Name Generator gives nice names, but my personal favorite is Wrestler Name Generator (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Not to be a nitpick guys, but I think he was looking for a game generator, not a name generator.

There's no better run creator than your players. All you have to do, is to prepare sheets like "mr. j", "target", "objective" etc. and give one or two of them to every player. Then you collect the filled sheets and put together your run. Belive it or not but it works. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
