Like Qerth, most fantasy game worlds are full of dungeons, crypts, tombs, caves, mines, and other big holes full of monsters and treasure. These tables will help you come up with catchy names for yours. Roll on Table 1 to get the format, then roll on Tables 2-6 as appropriate. In some cases, you may have to slightly change the words to make them sound good. For example, “The Putrescence Caverns of Doom” would become “The Putrescent Caverns of Doom.”

Breaking News: Our old pal Skaught has automated these tables for those of you too lazy to roll dice.
