Namey

Generates a bunch of quasi-historically accurate names, plus some fantastical ones. It's amazing.

Generate names

Quantum Scheherazade Story Generator (latest "stable" version)

A high-fallutin' database-driven narrative engine that tells you all sorts of stories with, frankly, very little censorship. If you're of a superstitious inclination, hell, you could even use it for bibliomancy, placing your fortune in the hands of the Law of Synchronicity and see what insights it will tell you about your current situation in life. If you want to up the existential stakes or whatever. You do you. (This project was in development for 5 years, but NPC Gen is the future for newer, matured efforts.)

Tell me a story

Kitty Catcher (works in Chrome/Brave but not Firefox)

You are a crazy cat lady. You must catch the cats. And yet, sometimes, the cat runs between your legs, or jumps over you. I'll be the first to tell you that there is no point to this, except exploration of Javascript collisions. Moreover, this now appears to be broken in most browsers, as of Feb 2021, except for my friend in Sweden, who is still playing it basically every day without fail, so...go ahead and have a go. Or don't. Maybe it's too close to reality anyway, for some of us.

Attempt cat retrieval

Wordsmith

Generates a bunch of technically pronounceable words of varying lengths based on vowel-consonant pairings. Eventually will incorporate language rules to produce consistent-sounding words from made-up languages. Currently is predicated only by what is theoretically a sound a human mouth can make.
