Hi,

I would really like to make a random Name generator like this one here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7SHp_B1PcQiZ2JrakNrZC13bVU/view

I think it should be doable with Tables, but i am not sure. (I dont know how to write extemnsions, so this is sadly not a option for me)
If i create a table with 3 rows, i could roll 3 timea a D100 and then put the Parts together in my head.

But is there a possibility to make it, that at the end come a full name out?

For example:
When i roll 3 times and i get a 1,2 and 3
i would get out 3 seperate entries with
1 A- bb -a
2 Ada- bl -ab
3 Aki- bold -ac

is there a way to make it one entry with A-bl-ac?

Thanks for your help

There's an extension that already does random name. Either use that or look at it as an example of what can be done. Get the extension here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?17072-Random-Extension

If you want to use tables create a main table with three columns and one entry. In each column make a call to another table with your random name bits in then. eg [1x][Table A][1x][Table B][1x][Table C]

The result wont concatenate so you'll need to do that bit in your head.

How about the 1990 US Census name list in xml format? Somebody could generate a random name chart form that
