High Fantasy with Language Generator
I'm gonna try jumping in a little bit late, but hopefully I'll at least get a little bit farther than last year!
I think the hardest part for me will be getting a plot structure working. I'm thinking of implementing a simple RPG system to help it make decisions and count the number of words generated to help keep the plot under control.
I'll try to keep this updated as I work, and hopefully I'll be able to finish something!
Here's my repo: https://github.com/Alamantus/nanogenmo2018
Update Nov 27, 2018:
https://github.com/NaNoGenMo/2018/issues/60#issuecomment-442159194
Here's the output I'm submitting for NaNoGenMo: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alamantus/nanogenmo2018/NaNoGenMo2018-end/novel.txt
Thanks for following along with me!
Alright, I've got the language generator going, and I've set it up to accept configs to exclude certain consonants/combinations! It names the language according to its letter collection and can generate words. Here's an example of some outputs:
human, example ancient (Aethaesmio) word: oniemoo
elf, example elvish (Liolo) word: baaleuyae
dwarf, example dwarvish (Crobrouchospaipl) word: taiflee
orc, example orcish (Vo) word: egl
goblin, example goblin (Sniusloepruasriodl) word: kriokhicleucl
human, example ancient (Swi) word: usiacojocl
elf, example elvish (Iucoitoa) word: oeriumuuw
dwarf, example dwarvish (Reesnaebetio) word: esnoocoochiose
orc, example orcish (Osle) word: av
goblin, example goblin (Uekaireafree) word: grukreepeacha
human, example ancient (Greebrok) word: ohoubiaswa
elf, example elvish (Rifoir) word: kouyiir
dwarf, example dwarvish (Traetae) word: ozaebriogleach
orc, example orcish (Mlaprar) word: ovomlo
goblin, example goblin (Uebuebliuxai) word: eatwoopoebloebrea
Next step is generating characters and stats!
Alright, we're getting underway with character creation. Right now, it just allows them to introduce themselves with a simple personality and output a description. The grammar is a little bit off for generating articles, but I'll work that out as I go:
A feminine elf who is about 5.9 feet tall and wearing a yellow-and-brown leather armor with a yellow greaves steps up and says, "I am Uifoafualam of the Uadui clan."
But a male orc who is about 6.9 feet tall and wearing a tan-and-yellow blouse with a green loincloth and a tan-and-green floppy hat on his head stands in her way and says, "I am Thomloj of the Trob clan. Nice to meet you!"
A masculine elf who is about 6.1 feet tall and wearing a red-and-purple leather armor with a blue pants steps up and says, "I am Ubiibii of the Busaesaiyoab clan. And don't you forget it!"
But a nonbinary orc who is about 7.2 feet tall and wearing a brown leather armor with a white loincloth and a green cap on their head stands in his way and says, "I am Oslu of the Mruth clan."
I'm working on building chapters based on progress, and so far I have introductory chapters and middle chapters, though the middle chapters are simply an introduction of where the party is at the moment. Here's a sample of one generation with the formatting so far, even though there's not too much different yet:
The Restoration Of Gir A fantasy novel generated by Robbie Antenesse [email protected] for NaNoGenMo 2018
Chapter 1
"Spistop Dilin imrod smosmozl odo gip otri igi rikr rikr no kridlip mlithi spodl." ―Dlosmolo Imrog, ancient orc warriorWhen Osmisn Dosron, the destroyer, overtook the citadel of Gir with his horrible army, Laoy suffered a horrible loss.
A male elf who is about 6 feet and 8 inches tall and wearing a green shirt with an orange-and-green greaves and a yellow cowl on his head steps up and says, "I am Lololais of the Euroud clan. Nice to meet you!"
But a masculine orc who is about 6 feet and 5 inches tall and wearing a brown-and-green chain mail with a red skirt and a blue cap on his head stands in his way and says, "I am Osmisn of the Dosron clan."
Chapter 2
"Spistop gosn imri kridlip ospi, groz spi dloko." ―Oko Osisni, ancient orc warriorOur heroes are exploring the path of Ziacl forest.
217 words
Alright, I've got introductory chapters implemented! The introductory chapter establishes the antagonist and what they have done and introduces the protagonist and how they gather their party. The party is generated to either already know the protagonist or not, and that relationship determines how the protagonist collects them to begin their journey.
Here's the output of a nice split of friends and strangers:
Stiaswitwaecl Oumiejaupao, the evil, sent her army down upon the people of Yeatoiy in a fury, crushing the capital and taking over without mercy. Loadiil Meukomuu, a fledgling quarterstaff-learner, was in his cosy bungalow when they heard about the treachery of the evil, Stiaswitwaecl Oumiejaupao, and he felt a drive to do something about it.
Loadiil was a male elf who was about 5 feet and 1 inch tall and wore a maroon-and-blue tunic with a brown greaves and was a learner of the quarterstaff. Knowing that the evil and her army could never be defeated alone, Loadiil decided that he will need at least 3 other brave souls to assist him. Fortunately, he knew he could count on at least 2 friends to come help him on his journey.
Loadiil stomped to Ueluihiul, the elf quarterstaff-user's, cabin to request their assistance. Though incredulous at the mere suggestion, the masculine elf who was about 5 feet and 2 inches tall and wore a yellow leather armor with a yellow greaves and a green-and-blue cap on his head agreed to join Loadiil.
"I hope you don't get us all killed," Ueluihiul grumbled.
"Yeah me too, but if we don't do something, we'll be in deep trouble!" Loadiil spat in reply.
Finally, Loadiil stomped to Hoimeudiu, the elf sword-learner's, cave to request their assistance. Though incredulous at the mere suggestion, the male elf who was about 5 feet tall and wore a blue tunic with a green shorts and a blue-and-maroon bonnet on his head agreed to join Loadiil.
"I hope you don't get us all killed," Hoimeudiu grumbled.
"Yeah me too, but if we don't do something, we'll be in deep trouble!" Loadiil spat in reply.
While 2 friends is great, Loadiil knew that he still needed 1 more person to help. So Loadiil stomped to his local plaza with his friends to find some more assistance.
Loadiil moved to the center of the plaza and announced, "I am Loadiil of the Meukomuu clan. And don't you forget it! I can't stand the thought of living under the evil's reign, and we want to do something to stop her. Who here will help us?"
A nonbinary dwarf who was about 4 feet and 4 inches tall and wore a brown tunic with a maroon-and-maroon pants stood and said, "I am Bliosnash of the Eablau clan. It's a pleasure to meet you! I am a learner of the dagger."
Ever eager to help, they agreed to join Loadiil.
"This is a good thing we are setting out to do," Bliosnash chirped.
"Maybe so, but it won't be a comfortable journey. Get ready for a hard ride," Loadiil spat in reply.
Having gathered enough friends to begin his journey, Loadiil sets out with his newly-assembled party to brave the dangers on the way to the lair of the evil...
Generated novels like this will always have some amount of repetition, but I'm trying to reduce it by having different personalities respond to other personalities in different ways. Hopefully this, along with the different scenarios to choose from that later chapters will introduce, will help a bit!
Alright, so I worked on generating fights! There are lots of little things to help add a little bit of variety, but it still gets a bit repetitive. Right now, I have it set up to simply generate a fight no matter what location the party is in, but eventually different locations will generate different possibilities (i.e. in towns and cities, there won't be random encounters). Characters have a chance to spot monsters before they attack and decide whether to tell the party or not, which allows the party to decide whether to risk the trouble.
Here's an example fight chapter with the middle snipped out because it was a little long:
Chapter 2
"Oko ojos ok kan alogo trox, otra oba!" ―Asosh Obasobr, great orc sageOur heroes explored the city of Twioshaepresw. They were at the armory called "The Bumpy Baker", trying to make their way through.
As they were walking, Fecrio saw a spider! He pointed it out to the others, but they decided to avoid it to spare themselves any undue danger.
Our heroes remained in the city of Twioshaepresw. They were in the specialty shop called "The Most Unbelievable Rooster", trying to make their way through.
As they were walking, 2 wolfs and an imp and an ogre jumped out and attacked the party!

The party gathered itself together in victory, continuing their trek onward.
Also shown (at the beginning of the chapter) in this chapter is the naming convention for locations inside of towns and cities! It uses a subset of words from my game idea generator to create some fun names.
This is so good. I especially like all the said-isms that it's throwing into the conversations.
Wow, your fights are so well done! I need some ideas to improve mine, I may take some inspiration from yours :thinking: .
One thing that I was thinking about doing, is if the fight is finished in one shot some new text could replace the entire fight like: "In one fell swoop, Legolas decapitates the spider"
@LuRsT Thanks! I put a lot of work into keeping them from getting too repetitive. The key is really just making sure you have enough possible variety.
That one-shot idea is pretty good! Right now, there are no attacks that can one-shot anything, but your idea reminded me that I should definitely add in a low chance of critical hit! I'm just not sure how much more effort I want to put into fights when I still have so much more to do haha.
I've been working on implementing tavern interaction. So far, I have very basic things like banter with the bartender if the party has been to the tavern before, getting drinks, picking fights if a character gets drunk, and playing a single card game if the character doesn't want to drink. I'm planning on implementing one more card game and 2 dice games to add more variety, and then I need to improve the drinking variety.
Here's a pretty good sample chapter from a tavern scene that shows all the implemented features so far:
Chapter 7
"Xit srijeja xiaje iadrout iadrout srijeja, ainef Eaxaixean eagruhixe flesr idrisreaxi ainef ihe?" ―Vuseatia Nucaidre, ancient human warriorOur heroes walked through the plains of Uswu, a large and haunted place with shimmering grass. They were on the hill called "Oshogi", trying to make their way through.
Not encountering anything interesting, the party continues onward. Our heroes explored the forest of Iswo, a small and lonely place with mysterious thickets. They were on the path called "Slavoufi", seeing what they could find.
As they were exploring, Esehaisl saw 2 imps! She kept it to herself, deciding it was better to ignore the threat. Luckily, the party was able to avoid the 2 imps and move onward without any issues.
Our heroes moved on from where they were in the forest of Iswo, a small and lonely place with mysterious thickets. They were in the clearing called "Srefesl", trying to make their way through.
Not encountering anything interesting, the party continues onward. The party returned to the plains called Ciuyeowaot, a small and ancient place with shady trees and grass. They were in the field called "Thorij", seeing what they could find.
Not encountering anything interesting, the party continues onward. Our heroes rested at the town called Iutiam, a small and stony place with houses. They were at the blacksmith called "The Fabulous Sock", recovering from all the walking they had done.
The party walked into the energetic blacksmith and found 9 people there plus the bartender. Uamialai saw Nivuhi Iaresousr, the bartender, when he walked in.
"Wow, This place still looks pretty good!" Uamialai smiled, looking around.
"Hey look, it's Uamialai! What are you doing here? Is your adventure not going as well as you hoped?" Nivuhi laughed.
"Ah, Nivuhi! I'm so glad to see you here! The journey has been difficult." Uamialai replied.
Uamialai noticed a feminine elf who was about 5 feet and 7 inches tall and wore tan leather armor with red pants and a green floppy hat on her head sitting at a table with a deck of cards. Uamialai walked over to request a game.
"I am Youlea of the Meuteimio clan. And don't you forget it! Sit down and we can get started," Youlea smirked, "We're playing Splits."
Youlea shuffled the deck and dealt the cards. Uamialai revealed a 5 of shields and Youlea flipped a 3 of shields, so Uamialai took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 2 of swords and Youlea flipped a 2 of shields, so Youlea took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 5 of swords and Youlea flipped a 1 of shields, so Uamialai took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 2 of stars and Youlea flipped a 4 of stars, so Youlea took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 3 of stars and Youlea flipped a 1 of swords, so Uamialai took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 3 of swords and Youlea flipped a 4 of swords, so Youlea took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 1 of stars and Youlea flipped a 5 of stars, so Youlea took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 4 of shields and Youlea flipped a 2 of swords, so Uamialai took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 5 of shields and Youlea flipped a 2 of shields, so Uamialai took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 3 of shields and Youlea flipped a 2 of stars, so Uamialai took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 5 of swords and Youlea flipped a 4 of stars, so Uamialai took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 1 of shields and Youlea flipped a 3 of swords, so Youlea took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 3 of stars and Youlea flipped a 4 of swords, so Youlea took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 1 of swords and Youlea flipped a 1 of stars, so Youlea took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 4 of shields and Youlea flipped a 5 of stars, so Youlea took both cards.
Uamialai grunted, exclaiming, "No!"
Uamialai revealed a 2 of swords and Youlea flipped a 1 of shields, so Uamialai took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 5 of shields and Youlea flipped a 3 of swords, so Uamialai took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 2 of shields and Youlea flipped a 3 of stars, so Youlea took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 3 of shields and Youlea flipped a 4 of swords, so Youlea took both cards. Uamialai revealed a 2 of stars and Youlea flipped a 1 of swords, so Uamialai took both cards. Play continued until Uamialai finally won.
Autwaifraikl felt thirsty and approached the bar, saying, "May I please have your best cider!"
The bartender nodded, poured a pint of the The Coldest Acceptance cider and slid it over to Autwaifraikl. Autwaifraikl downed it, nodding in satisfaction. The The Coldest Acceptance turned out to be too much for them, and they got drunk as they continued drinking. They looked over and saw a masculine dwarf who was about 4 feet and 4 inches tall and wore a yellow blouse with green shorts and maroon-and-green locks on his head. Autwaifraikl walked over to pick a fight.
"I am Autwaifraikl of the Kliofrasl clan. It's a pleasure to meet you! I am a master of the quarterstaff, and I think we should fight!" Autwaifraikl boasted.
"Well, I am Ogleakaglea of the Aciosnio clan. And don't you forget it! And I am a learner of the dagger, and I accept your challenge!" Autwaifraikl retorted.
Autwaifraikl recklessly moved to attack Ogleakaglea with their quarterstaff... Autwaifraikl hit Ogleakaglea, but it didn't hurt very much; Ogleakaglea barked a laugh and flashed a rude gesture. Ogleakaglea took a defensive stance to try to fend off the enemy's advance.
Ogleakaglea recklessly moved to attack Autwaifraikl with his dagger... Ogleakaglea stabbed Autwaifraikl, doing a fair amount of damage; Autwaifraikl cried out in pain! Autwaifraikl stepped up to attack Ogleakaglea with their quarterstaff... Autwaifraikl hit Ogleakaglea, but it didn't hurt very much; Ogleakaglea barked a laugh and flashed a rude gesture.
Ogleakaglea became afraid and ran away before the party could finish it off!
The party gathered itself together in victory, continuing their trek onward.
Esehaisl noticed a feminine elf who was about 5 feet and 7 inches tall and wore tan leather armor with red pants and a green floppy hat on her head sitting at a table with a set of dice. Esehaisl walked over to request a game.
"I am Youlea of the Meuteimio clan. And don't you forget it! Sit down and we can get started," Youlea smirked, "We're playing Overpower."
Esehaisl gathered up the dice into the cup. Esehaisl revealed a 2 of swords and Youlea flipped a 1 of stars, so Esehaisl took both cards. Esehaisl revealed a 1 of swords and Youlea flipped a 1 of shields, so Youlea took both cards.
Esehaisl cursed, yelling, "Damn it!"
Esehaisl revealed a 5 of swords and Youlea flipped a 4 of swords, so Esehaisl took both cards. Esehaisl revealed a 4 of stars and Youlea flipped a 2 of stars, so Esehaisl took both cards.
Esehaisl barked a laugh, exclaiming, "Ha! I'm the best!"
Esehaisl revealed a 4 of shields and Youlea flipped a 3 of stars, so Esehaisl took both cards. Esehaisl revealed a 5 of stars and Youlea flipped a 5 of shields, so Esehaisl took both cards. Esehaisl revealed a 2 of shields and Youlea flipped a 3 of swords, so Youlea took both cards. Esehaisl revealed a 3 of shields and Youlea flipped a 1 of swords, so Esehaisl took both cards.

Esehaisl revealed a 4 of stars and Youlea flipped a 2 of shields, so Esehaisl took both cards. Esehaisl won the game!
Alright, I just finished the skeleton for the final chapter. I'm working on final chapters because I'm worried I won't finish in time if I don't focus on a book-end—if I finish a final chapter generator, then I can say it's done at any time even if the middle is not as varied as I wanted.
There's no variation added yet, but I think it turned out pretty nice! There's a lot of fighting at the moment, and long fights at that, because I removed the possibility for any enemies to run away. Also, I think with a strong mini-boss directly preceding the final boss with no healing in-between, there's no way to reach a victorious ending, but I'll balance that out later. I'd also like to add some endings that use more cunning than just killing the antagonist, but I'm mainly just worried about time. We'll see what I can accomplish.
Until then, here's a sample final chapter in full:
After much long and arduous travel, Ouvu and their friends finally reached the wretched realm of Oomlaikh. The well-prepared party surveyed the army of Ufruglau Roesloebl the destroyer of innocence arrayed before them, and they were terrified by the fearsome sight. Though they felt great fear, our heroes knew that they needed to face the destroyer of innocence and put an end to the danger they posed to Miaxa. Taking special care not to be seen, the party makes their way into the shadows to avoid being seen by the destroyer of innocence's army. The party made their way to the castle, but were spotted by a feminine goblin who was about 3 feet and 6 inches tall and wore a tan-and-white blouse with an orange-and-orange skirt and a nonbinary goblin who was about 3 feet and 9 inches tall and wore a red blouse with a brown skirt and a male goblin who was about 3 feet and 1 inch tall and wore blue chain mail with a white-and-maroon loincloth. They ran to intercept the party and prevent them from continuing forward!
The male goblin in the blue chain mail took a defensive stance to try to fend off the enemy's advance. Ceubof recklessly moved to attack the male goblin in the blue chain mail with her sword... But she couldn't hit the male goblin in the blue chain mail! The nonbinary goblin in the red blouse lost their nerve and ran a little distance away. The feminine goblin in the tan-and-white blouse took a defensive stance to try to fend off the enemy's advance. Ziaciadrae looked around and decided to attack the nonbinary goblin in the red blouse with her quarterstaff... But the nonbinary goblin in the red blouse dodged quickly and avoided her hit! Ouvu lost their nerve and ran a little distance away.
The feminine goblin in the tan-and-white blouse lost her nerve and ran a little distance away. The male goblin in the blue chain mail stepped up to attack Ceubof with his quarterstaff... The male goblin in the blue chain mail hit Ceubof, but it didn't hurt very much; Ceubof brushed off the attack like a pro. Ceubof lost her nerve and ran a little distance away. The nonbinary goblin in the red blouse recklessly moved to attack Ceubof with their dagger... But they couldn't hit Ceubof! Ziaciadrae lost her nerve and ran a little distance away. Ouvu lost their nerve and ran a little distance away.

Ceubof cut the nonbinary goblin in the red blouse, doing a fair amount of damage; the nonbinary goblin in the red blouse grunted loudly through gritted teeth. The male goblin in the blue chain mail lost his nerve and ran a little distance away. The nonbinary goblin in the red blouse took a defensive stance to try to fend off the enemy's advance.

The whole party had fallen, and with a haughty sneer, the destroyer of innocence cast their horrific dagger aside and turned back to where they had been sitting when our heroes had arrived. They were defeated.
But Ouvu stirred, struggling to their feet, leaning against their bow. Feebly reaching out, they stretched out their hand toward the destroyer of innocence Ufruglau Roesloebl. The sneering smile dropped as Ufruglau watched a growing glimmer of light gather in Ouvu's hand, their eyes filling with horror.
"No! This is impossible! The Ancient magics are just a myth!" they cried out as the light shot out from Ouvu's hand, directly into Ufruglau's chest.
"Nooooooo!!!" Ufruglau Roesloebl, the destroyer of innocence, screamed as they were burned away to dust.
And with that, Ouvu Asmihoup, the user of the bow, our great hero, let out their last breath and collapsed to the floor. Their final act of sacrifice had saved the land of Miaxa, and the dark realm of Oomlaikh was freed of its curse.
THE END
Alright, I'm ending my efforts for now. I'd like to keep working on this, but I won't be able to make significant improvements before the end of the month, so this is what I'm submitting for NaNoGenMo 2018! I'll just keep working on it after it's done so I can have a more fleshed out adventure for myself. :smiley:
Until then, the final generated output for this project is located here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alamantus/nanogenmo2018/NaNoGenMo2018-end/novel.txt
I also added a README with plans for the future and instructions for if you want to generate your own fantasy novel using my script!
Sorry if this is the wrong way to do this, but...
Tagging the admins so they can label this as complete:

Thanks!
Reading your code has been a big inspiration to me, @Alamantus. Just wanted to mention that.
