    How the Savage Worlds Name Generator works

    How the Savage Worlds name generator works

    Pulp heroes get punchy names and nicknames, like "Two-Fists" Rourke. Weird west characters get frontier names with a nickname, like Hattie "Deadeye" Blackburn, perfect for a haunted frontier. Wasteland wanderers get scavenged one-word names like Ratchet. Villains get dramatic pulp titles, Doctor Mortis or the Masked Baron.

    FAQ

    What names suit a pulp hero?

    Short, punchy names and nicknames, like Rex "Brick" Steele. Pulp names should sound bold and a little over the top, like the hero of an old adventure serial.

    How do I name a weird west character?

    Use a frontier first name, a nickname and a rugged surname, like Josiah "Preacher" Crow. The nickname can hint at a dark secret or special skill.

    Why include villain names?

    Pulp adventures need dramatic villains with memorable titles, like the Crimson Count. A good villain name makes the heroes, and the players, want to take them down.

    Can I use these in other pulp games?

    Yes. The names are original and fit any pulp, weird west or post-apocalyptic game or story, whatever system you use, from tabletop campaigns to novels and short fiction.
