Maldene Name Generator
There’s a lot of name generators out there. You know the kind: Pick from list ‘A’ for the first letter of your name then from list ‘B’ for the month you were born. That sort of thing. So, I thought I’d come up with my own Maldene name generator. Only it doesn’t involve lists. You …

February 27, 2012
February 27, 2012
In the world of Fantasy and Science Fiction, one will often have a variety of alien races and cultures. Naturally, not all of such races know how to speak English (or any other Earthly language for that matter), which raises the question, should the author create a language of his own for some of these …
