Camp Weedonwantcha Created by Katie Rice and Adam Wallander

Spread this short around! Make @nickanimation feel sorry that they ignored it!

(but don’t be TOO harsh toward them; the CEO that passed on a lot of great shorts like this is gone now)

Camp Weedonwantcha is an amazing webcomic, and hearing that this pilot got passed over is a TRAGIC shame. God I would LOVE a cartoon of this.

Didn’t Attila the Hun also have a meteorite sword?

cause a weapon made from a rock from the heavens is fucking tight now and it was cool then too you losers

If you had the option to have a not meteorite sword or a fucking meteorite sword of course you’d pick the fuckin sick ass sky rock from god

Someone should redraw this in the classic TT style!

D&D character names - generated by a neural network

There are algorithms called artificial neural networks that can learn to imitate examples of just about anything. They’re used in all sorts of everyday programs, translating languages, identifying photos, colorizing drawings, delivering ads, and tons more. 

It turns out neural networks may also be a dungeon master’s best friend.

I’ve trained neural networks to invent new Dungeons & Dragons spells (part 1, part 2) and also trained them to name new D&D creatures. It worked very well (Shield of Farts, anyone?), thanks to the spellbooks and monster manuals I could use as datasets. But there weren’t any datasets for another big aspect of Dungeons & Dragons: all the characters who populate these worlds. So, over the past few months, readers have been helping me to build a dataset - which has now reached a staggering 20,908 entries.

For each character, people entered a name, a race (human, dwarf, elf, etc), and a class (wizard, rogue, bard, cleric, etc). Some of the races and classes got to be quite inventive - there’s a penguin, a fey corgi, a black pudding, and a sentient bucket. So I gave this huge weird list to a neural network to see how convincing it could sound.

With nearly 21,000 examples, the neural network could indeed sound convincing. Much of the time, the names matched the character type - at least as often as in the original dataset (which had 5 characters named Frank and 12 named Tim). 

Other names made perhaps less sense.

One thing I like is all the new character races and classes that the neural network discovered. I don’t know what most of them are, but you’ll be the only one in your party.

One type of name the neural network did very well: silly compound names. This pretty much settles the question of whether a neural network would be totally on board with naming something Boaty McBoatface: it totally would.

Here is what it thinks dwarves should be named.

Actually, you know what? Pretty much everyone needs a name like this. 

I’ve posted the entire original dataset here, and you can access a huge export of generated characters there as well. If you want the list plus a few extra that I deemed not quite appropriate for the main blog, enter your email here and I’ll send them to you.

Also! I’m still crowdsourcing a dataset of character bios (I used some of the names for this experiment). If you’d like to help, use this form.

I like to think that “E Ch BISHL NEBe Garte II Cr D McLGHJ T U E AA t Rat lek TF Horn hand tree Whistle”, the half-orc barbarian, is actually just named “Garte”, and all the other letters are various honorifics and degrees they’ve earned.
