The Page of Generators

Making Light linked to this page of generators. Many of them are fantasy naming generators of the sort I guess most computer-literate gamers have come up with at some point. However, there are some good ones here:

An unlimited supply of corny Star Wars villains from the Darth Maker.

Darth Blasphemocity Darth Mutiluction Darth Sleness Darth Slithical Darth Venidious

And then there's the B-Movie Generator

Santa Claus Versus King Arthur The Tower of the Crawling Bikini The Holocaust of the Neptune Vampires The Guillotine of Perversion

Fear the Eye of Argonizer

Join the wonderful adventures of Uoca! A amazing combination of wisdom and sinewy pectorals ensure none can stand against him! He seeks to find his niece! Imprisonment by the vile devil Iuzcrui complicates matters, but may lead to wealth!

And finally, Action Film Trailers

In a demon-haunted kingdom, in a time of suffering and madness, a watchman attempts to prevent the destruction of mankind.

In a distant city of secrets, in an era of corruption, four peasants and a bounty hunter try to participate in the greatest fighting tournament of history.

In a hellish world, in an age of dark magic, an astronaut and a theologian seek hope and combat a syndicate of ninjas.

In a universe of secrets, a scribe and a swordswoman quest for vengance and oppose crime.

In a universe of terror, a xenobiologist searches for a lost treasure and fights a horde of assasins.

In an empire of sin and darkness, a policeman combats evil.

In an empire of sin and fear, four space pirates search for freedom.

On a damned planet of enchantment, in an era of illusions, an elementalist quests for an ancient treasure.

On a world of barbarism, in a time of enchantment, a xenobiologist and a warlord search for vengance and combat lawlessness.

On an evil planet, in a time of hopelessness, a grave robber quests for hope.

I couldn't find one for dubious management buzzwords, such as Genericisity or Nebulosity. Perhaps that's the next one to come?
