I'm a Dungeon Master. I'm preparing a PnP game in an oriental setting. Not green forests, castles, kings, crowns, longswords.. It's time (I like to surprise my players) for cutlass, desert, oasis, bazaars, sultans, emirs, harem etc. I'm looking for oriental character names and city names. I'll be happy if you can help me. Here is the list I found so far..

Haroun Al-Rashid
Omer Al-Jabbar
Mustapha
Muad'dib (from dune

Khalid
Habib

There used to be a D&D world called Al-Qadim, based on the Arabian Nights, which could be a good source for the kind of names you're looking for.

your examples sound more like an arabic setting rather than oriental......

Zoltan,

Don't know how tongue-in-cheek you want to get; but how about "Yin" and "Yang" for twins or any pair of functionally similar characters.

Names inspired by sticking the names of Asian manufacturers into a blender: Atsuno; Shibi; Timsu; Atsuno; Hamaya; Waidoo; Yosono; Tihicha; Sinsan; Ihsibu; Onyoka; Dohandi

Take-offs on some commonly known words: Samu-Rai; Kara-Tai; Ajnin; Koyo-Tai; Gokillzya

Other ideas: Yoshi; Bayashi; Ichiri; Orloc; Orlilo; Og; Nikita; Fuji; Shimo, Nijan; Jodoka; Niknak; Nikinikitimbonosoremboumamuchigamagamaguchi (Ever hear the joke about the boy named Nikinikitimbonoso(rest-of-name) ??); Tama; Bo-Ri

I'd love to do oriental spins on some of the forum member names, but am out of time for now.

What's a party,
without a song?
Bards ROCK!
Party On!!
