Random Inn Names (Tables 2 and 3)


Here is the second group of naming conventions for randomly generated inns (see the initial table for naming conventions here), which I refer to as compound inanimate names (ex. The Cracked Anvil). I tried to keep repetition from Table 1 to an absolute minimum.

As an aside, I like to name it as the dice roll, even if the combination doesn’t make immediate sense or seem to fit together. If you look at the names of pubs (especially historical pubs) the names don’t always seem to make sense. There’s generally history behind the name known only to locals. Strange names or pairings might even turn into a potential adventure hook for the players! At any rate, I hope you enjoy it.
