Mechanical Dream is a game published by SteamLogic Publishing. The game is very different from anything else that I've ever played. They created a whole fantasy/victorian-steam-tech. world with no humans and a very alien feel. I had the great pleasure playing in a Mechanical Dream game that my friend Greg Cooksey ran.
For me, one of the hardest challenges of playing Mechanical Dream was trying to name my character. The names in the Mechanical Dream books have self consistent styles, but are very different from any names I'm used to. One day when I got a little bit bored at game, I decided to see if I could make up a larger pool of names. I already had a list of the names that were used in the Mechanical Dream books (as of 2003) to work from. Things got a bit out of hand, and before I knew it I had made up a giant list of names for every letter of the alphabet.
Names in bold are already in use by some PC or NPC that I know of.
