Just funnin'
BAD GUY NAME GENERATOR


Gillian Taylor

We must wait till June for Gillian's next western. Meanwhile, here's a litle fun she has devised for the silly season — a kinda board game without a board for bored western writers. . . .

But what about bored readers? With such a wide range of Black Horse Westerns to choose from, there are no bored readers!


Take two six-sided dice. Roll them once for each column, using the total number on the dice to pick a nickname, and then a surname.

For example, totals of 4 and 9 would generate the name: Snake-oil McCoy.


Dice roll Column A
