Introducing the Random Martial Arts Move Name Generator! v 1.0
This program is based
of the same article in Dragon #289.
It's a small download (64k, 13.2k zipped) and it gets the job done.
Here's how it works:
Start the program
Click on Generate and read the name.
Click Generate again to continue making names. Make sure you have pen and paper
handy.
Click Exit when you're done.
Also: If you want to force
it to give you attack or defense name specifically, then check the appropriate
box.
However, don't check both. You'll end up with attack. I just haven't coded in
a fail-safe for it.
Stupid me thought about it too late. Oh well, maybe in a newer version.
Due to the structure of some of the sentences, the check boxes may not affect
anything. Don't worry, it's normal.
Also, some things may come out sounding... not right. Anytime you see a cardinal direction such as Southern or Northern, you can replace it with South of or North of... and vice versa. Some grammatical errors are bound to happen too. Just correct on your paper.
Here's some samples of what you can get for moves... some are funny and some sound authentic:
"The Kraken Meditates
when 18 Toes Sculpt"
"Swat of the Taunting Summer"
"Rolling Cavern Among Sapphire Sky"
"37 Western Fists' Leap"
"Howling Blind Kraken's Chop"
"Air Around the Peacock"
"Falling Paper Summer Punch"
"18 Marble Monks' Attack"
"Marble Dagger's Green Explosion"
"Winter Dolphin Breaks with Green Vampire"
"Thrust of the Soaring Phoenix"
"One Million Throwing Saints Slay Southern Tortured Overlord"
"Yeti Throws with Knee"
"Crouch of the Fighting Sister"
"Outside the Arm, the Duck Strikes"
