About me
I am not in the habit of putting information in my personal profile anywhere, so don't take it personal that I do not do it here either.

Things I'd like to do
Make a series of spells based of the (sometimes very) random names generated by this tool. Progress with that can be found below.

In case you care, my reason for doing this (besides the fun of creating things and the usefullness of more spells) is training. I noticed that as I learned more and more about game design and the mechanics of d&d I focused more on creating a cool, smooth working game with balanced mechanics and clear uses for all things. While these are good goals, I realized I had missed something when I read this. I realized that not fully understanding a thing or having something with no clear purpose gives it an element of weirdness and interestingness that is not achievable by something that you have fully defined. So my goal is to create a number of spells with random names as the inspiration, who might be marginally connected to most of d&d's mechanics. This means they are not as simple in concept as spells like Haste or Bull's Strength, harder to balance for lack of comparable material and might have some creative uses. Or they might be completely useless. Anyway, in this way I hope to train myself in creating spells, items or combat encounters that are not only intellectual challenges but that also appeal to the imagination. So far (4 spells created) I am liking the process :-).
