Mel’s Big Fantasy Place-Name Reference

So I’ve been doing lots of D&D world-building lately and I’ve kind of been putting together lists of words to help inspire new fantasy place names. I figured I’d share.

There’s plenty more under the cut including a huge list of “fantasy sounding” word-parts. Enjoy!

A lot of places are named after historical events, battles, and people, so keep that in mind. God/Goddess names tied to your world also work well. Places are also often named after things that the area is known for, like Georgia being known for its peaches.

My brain was fried by the end of this so feel free to add more!

I hope you find this reference helpful and good luck world-building!

I hope you and your family are well. My Daughter and I went down to the KC SPD parade.

Sounded like the Atlanta SPD parade was a cold one - Kansas City had wonderful weather, Sunny 74 that day.

Estimated over 400,000 attended the parade that day. I made a wonderful corned beef and cabbage dinner that night - so good.

I am hoping to catch a live show one day, probably in Texas as it's closer to KC.

Also hoping you'll be a performer at the Kansas City Irish Fest Labor Day weekend (Sept.) Slainte”

Home Run! Dustin Pedroia’s Mansion Is This Week’s Most Popular Home

realtor.com

Sliding in with the winning run, a Massachusetts mansion owned by erstwhile Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia was this week’s most popular home on realtor.com®.

The two-time World Series champ is likely to have played his last game for the Sox, due to his lingering knee injuries. News of the house hitting the market sparked chatter throughout Red Sox nation, and curious fans clicked like crazy to see Pedroia’s place for themselves.

Other homes creating click-storms this week include a luxe Beverly Hills mansion being sold for less than what it cost to build, an adorable Virginia home known as the “Pink House,” and an Ohio Tudor in need some of TLC.

Why it’s here: Farewell to a Red Sox legend? Built in 2006, this large Colonial is being sold by the Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia. Although he’s under contract with the Sox through 2021, the injury-plagued star appears to be tipping his hand on his future.

Pedroia’s 8,500-square-foot mansion includes a double-height foyer, home gym, media room, and guest quarters.

Outside, there’s a stone patio accessible by French doors from the family room, and a roomy backyard ideal for a game of whiffle ball. And it sits just a mile away from the $33.9 million mansion being sold by Tom Brady.

Brookline, MA

Basil reviews and raves about a new spooky middle grade book about ghosts, grief, love, and family. See what they have to say…

The Ghost Collector by Allison Mills Annick Press September 2019 Middle Grade

Shelly and her grandmother can see ghosts. They can help them, too. Shelly and her grandmother can catch ghosts in their hair and help them move on to the afterlife. Shelly lives with her mother and grandmother in an old house that they can barely afford to live in. Her grandmother uses ghost catching as the family business, charging rich white people to take care of ghosts in their homes. Shelly mostly deals with the spirits of dead animals—mice, birds, sometimes small dogs. Her mother doesn’t approve and thinks Shelly’s grandmother is irresponsible for taking Shelly out on these ghost hunting trips. Then, Shelly’s mother dies, and Shelly is desperate to find her ghost somewhere. The characters in this story are Ililiw (Cree) and settler Canadian, and the story is based in part on real stories about the author’s grandmother that she heard growing up. It adds an interesting dimension to an already intriguing paranormal middle-grade story.

Basil’s rave: I have to admit, I’m biased to like books with ghosts in them. I grew up reading spooky stories like R. L. Stine’s Goosebumps series and was already excited to read this story when I picked it up. But debut author Allison Mills understands something about ghosts that only the best storytellers do: the ghosts should be symbols of something greater. Instead of only adding a spooky atmosphere, these ghosts tell a greater story about grief and loss and rememberance. The writing was so beautiful and this story made me fall in love with middle grade all over again. The interaction between Shelly’s grandmother and her Ililiw (Cree) worldview with the police and others in her community added an extra layer to this story about grief and spooky ghosts, meaning the ghosts took on further roles as players in larger cultural tensions. Shelly makes friends with ghosts and they listen to cassettes by The Cure, so really, I couldn’t wish for much more. Do yourself a favour and jump right into this one! There’s so much to talk about I can’t possibly cover it all, and the story is fewer than 200 pages. Just read it! It’s so good!

Where to find in-store: Age 12

Perfect for fans of: The Elevator Ghost by Glen Huser, Haunted Canada series by Joel A. Sutherland, In the Dark by E. Nesbit.
