Like another book in this series which I own, Dwarven Name Tables gives you exactly what you're looking for - Dwarven names. The amount of time that must have gone into listing and coming up with all of the names is really worth it. This is a book that any Game Master would find handy.

The only minus is the lack of convenience that could have been provided with more links. But this is only a minor setback, and only that if you are using the rules provided for generating random names. If you are just going through the tables and looking to make up a name for yourself, then there should be no problems at all.

Very useful for my ongoing campaign and like the tables and easy of use.

The guide to naming is decent but not the best (but it is the only one I know of on the market). It of course gives their variation on naming Halfling but leaves out several surnames that I would have included, and does not have that JRR Tokein feel, more of a AD&D feel to it. Would have like to see more alternative naming methods or diversity like Roman Name Tables.

Great product for any Roman or Romanize culture in your game. Goes at length about Roman naming and their sources for the names. Only lacks a printout for quick naming like the other Name table I have, Halflings. Thanks to this product I will be buy more in the future.

I really liked this product. It reminds me of the time when TSR used to put out encuonter tables. An excellent product.

Roman Name Tables like all the Name Tables is a good product. I have them all. The only problem is that each book is so long at about 90 pages each. They sure help you make up a name though. I've used them a lot

These books are rather useless. All it does is give you a list of names: no meaning, origins or whatever. You'd have better luck with a random word generator.

Ok, word of warning here, if you spend too long writing your review and then go to post it you get booted and the information is lost. I spent an hour writing a review for this product and it is all gone. DAMMIT! Mark, if you want some hopefully helpful and wanted critizism, send me an e-mail. I am not going to spend another hour re-writing.

Ok, here is my short version. Too much white space, too much page flipping and too name Surnames that begin with the letter K (85% of them?? what is up with that). It needs to be changed to a 3 or 4 column document and that should reduce the page count by at least 50%, if you get rid of all of the white space. As it is, this document is too big to print or use easily. It is NINETY-FOUR pages long. Holy cow Batman! I really think it could be reduced to 40 to 50 without taking out ANY information at all. It would also make it much easy to use then. Embedded hyperlinks from the tables to the pages you need to flip to would also be nice. Some of the nicknames did not seem to fit for an orc (I had to look up two words in the dictionary before I knew what they were! I imagine orc names and nicknames as 1 or 2 sylable grunts).

On the plus side, I'll NEVER need to come up with another orc name on my own again. There is A LOT of useful information here. The last six pages are what I'll use the most though as they are pre-generated names and easy to bring with me to a game for a quick name or two. Overall, a very useful product, just too big to use easily. If I was going just based on the usefull and the price this would get 5 stars. $2 for this product is a steal.

P.S. Change your examples for name pronouncing. The first two sound like female body parts and then the next example sound a lot like something else that my players would laugh at each time they saw this section.

There isn't a lot that you can really say about a name table other than if it does it job or not... and I can honestly say that you'll have more orc names here than you can shake a severed arm at!

The real question is if it's worth $5 to you for only a book of names. If you use a lot of named orcs in your game (as opposed to "the one with the bloody axe attacks you"), this could be useful. Otherwise, you could very reasonably do without it.

It was worth the purchase to me.

Excellent Item! If you need inspiration for an ancient culture, use this book as a springboard to name anything from People to Places, and yes, Things!

Extremely well worth the investment!

Need a name for the Joe, Dick or Bob in the taverns in your pseudo-British fantasy game? here they are and how!

I'd highly reccommend this book to anyone!
