I suspect that a mod like this would either be really difficult or down-right impossible to implement, but I figured I'd check in with those in the know before giving up.
I'm running a 5E campaign and whenever I drop an encounter into the CT I like to switch the randomly generated names into something with a little descriptive flavor. Like "goblin raider 7" -> "One Eye", "Loudmouth", etc.
What I'd love to be able to do is to make a mod where I could replace the generic monster name on an encounter tab ("goblin raider") with a title of a story chapter ("[funnyNames]") and have FG give each monster a random name from an ordered list in that story entry (or a note, or where ever I can quickly create a new list for a new mob type).
Mind you, I'm not here looking for someone else to do this for me. I'm willing to put the work in myself. I just don't want to spend a chunk of time on something that's just not possible.
What do you think? Is this doable?
