How the Forged In The Dark Crew Name Generator works
A Forged in the Dark crew name generator for games built on the Blades in the Dark engine. In these games, the crew is almost a character itself, with its own reputation, rivals and scores. Generate crew names, rival factions and names for the scores you pull.
How the Forged in the Dark crew name generator works
Crew names pair an adjective with a group noun, like the Grinning Saints, or tie the crew to a place, like the Wolves of the Docks. Faction names sound bigger and more organised, like the Bronze Syndicate. Score names turn a job into a story, like the Velvet Gala Job or Operation Glass Heart, which is useful for tracking your crew's history.
Crews with character
A crew name tells rivals what to expect. Choose one that fits the crew type, sneaky, violent or mystical.
