How the Session Name Generator works
A session name generator for episode titles. Give each game night a name for your recap notes, group chat or campaign wiki, dramatic, funny or cliffhanger, and your campaign starts to read like a TV series. Titles are short enough to fit on any recap post.
How the session name generator works
Naming each session is a habit borrowed from actual-play shows and TV, and it makes a campaign's history easier to remember. Dramatic titles use weighty nouns and verbs, The Crown Falls or Under a Red Moon, for sessions with big moments. Funny titles capture the chaos that happens at most tables, like Nobody Checked for Traps or In Which the Bard Makes It Worse. Cliffhanger titles tease what happens next, perfect for a session that ended mid-scene. Pick a style that matches how the night actually went.
Using session names
Name the session after it ends, not before, so the title matches what really happened. Many groups vote on the name at the end of the night; roll a list and let the table pick the one that fits best.

FAQ
Why name D&D sessions?
Titles make a campaign easier to remember and discuss. "Remember Twelve Rats and a Goat?" is easier than "remember session fourteen?" Session names also make recap notes and campaign wikis more fun to read, and they give players a sense that their story is building into something.
When should I name a session?
Usually at the end, so the name reflects what happened. Some game masters name sessions in advance to tease the players, which works well with cliffhanger titles. Either way works; the generator gives options for both.
What styles are available?
Dramatic, Funny and Cliffhanger. Dramatic suits sessions with a big event, Funny suits nights of chaos, and Cliffhanger suits sessions that stopped at a tense moment. Pick Any to mix styles and see which one fits your night best.
Can I use these for actual-play shows?
Yes. Episode titles for podcasts and streams follow the same patterns. The names are original, so you are free to use them for recorded games. For a whole show or campaign title, use the campaign name generator in this section.
