Use a table as the display name for a token, so each new token gets a random name.
First, grab your random name table and drag it into a Journal entry. That will give you some text that looks similar to "@RollTable[2cbm3cP46dxcxO5Z]{Goblin Name}
" or "@Compendium[...
". Now, open the Actor and click Prototype Token. Paste your "@RollTable[...
" text into the Token Name. When you drag your Actor onto the map to create a new Token, its name will be randomized!
If you install the module Better Rolltables, you may also be able to generate random biographies depending on which system you're using. Create a Story Table, then place a reference to it as the first line of the biography. For example, you can use the "Random NPC" table that comes with the BetterTables mod: @Compendium[better-rolltables.brt-story.8vjHa6SoZibxeTke]{Random NPC}
This works with the Simple Worldbuilding system, the D&D 5e system, the HârnMaster 3 system, or any other system that stores biographies in actor.data.data.biography
or actor.data.data.details.biography.value
. If you would like support for another system, please reach out toasty#8538 on the Foundry VTT discord with the system you'd like support for and the data path to the biography within that system. Thanks!
When multiple lines are returned from a table, the lines will be joined together with a space. For example, you could have a roll table formula of 1d1
, and have two results which are also tables for a firstname and a lastname, both with range 1-1
.

I LOVE this module, and finally remembered to head over here and endorse it. My players get a kick out of the silly goblin names I add, and it makes combat easier! “I want to hit Arglorg Ankle-biter” is way more fun than “Goblin4,” and clearer too.
And don’t even get me started about NPCs. Thank goodness I never have to come up with a name again. Every NPC in my world has a name from the moment I drop them into the scene.
And the dev(s) were kind enough to update this to work on v10.
