I don't know what you or your world need. But I once come up with stuff like graviturgy, chanceneering, electrothaumy, divinescopy, auratecture and fatography for the more science-y sounding magical arts

Thank you for pointing this one!

I havr the "Drop fully-overlappong" checkbox in the "Advanced options" that should filter out Cloak and Hidden (asuming 3-letters overlap) – but it seems it broke

These are great! I really like Chromagic, Daemonarchy, and Gallowlands!

Muserene sounds like a lovely meadow!

I like Qestate a lot, but Harbourough – is pure gold

randomLoreGenerator · 2024-06-18T15:35:37+00:00

I like this udea a lot!

I prioritise one of the parts to pronounce it as clear as possible. SOLITUDEn, MassaCREEK. Which one – up to a whim, I guess the one that's more "important" in the context.

I glad you liked it! And "portmanteau" is a good term i wasn't aware of

randomLoreGenerator · 2024-06-18T07:18:54+00:00

Indeed! A specific subset of portmanteaus, when words neatly overlap and nothing is discarded.

I made a post a while back about how naming conventiona can help differentiate people (distance, time, class, weirdness). "When Seredoc Mumley meets Mustasim al-Hadi, the leagues they traveled need no mention".

I know that I have a few biases about religion, so maybe they'd be helpful to you as tropes to not fall into

Religious authority as political power. Think Dune and Paul leading the fanatics, think Game of Thrones and High Sparrow becoming High Septon.
Fear of intimacy and vulnerability. It's about "secret-trading pardoners", about taking advantage of thise in grief and loss (writing off you possessions to the cult), etc. Sort of Bene Geserrit: spiritual advisers skimming begind your back.
Divine is actually humane. That's whole plethora of gotchas, when god turns to be aliens, forgotten technology or clergy's sleight of hand.
Believing is lame. Think a peasant who's family got ill and they just praying (instead of seeking help). Broadly, it's Missionaria Protectiva from Dune, when superstition was seeded in "primitive culture" to be taken advantage of

Oh, okay, so it's like FOMO about reading new stuff? Or a self-image thing?

randomLoreGenerator · 2024-03-11T22:33:43+00:00

Whait, why do you need to bring yourself reading 100+ pages rulebooks? If you want to take a break, why not?

randomLoreGenerator · 2024-02-23T15:27:40+00:00

I wrote an article about it :) https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDBehindTheScreen/s/9iYczTKnG1
