Krager’s Place Name Generator

Description

Krager’s Place Name Generator (KPNG) is a Windows utility for
generating random fantasy place names for gaming or map-making. It uses lists
of place names in various languages to generate random names that have a
similar sound to the base language.

I based the name generation logic solely on Azgaar’s Fantasy
Map Generator, translating it from JavaScript to C#. (GitHub –
Azgaar/Fantasy-Map-Generator) I built to so I could
leverage Azgaar’s name logic for my Wonderdraft maps without having to pick
names from random maps, with more control over generation to give a consistent
feel to a particular fantasy culture.

At a high level, it works by creating new random names from
lists of place names in another language. It split these names up to form
pseudo-syllables and then splices them back together randomly, in an order that
makes sense.

KFPNG supports the use of Azgaar’s language files, called “namebases”,
greatly extending the range of options available.
