Voices

Zak's cool whispering starfish oracle got me thinking about other possible voices. So, for your oracles, summoned spirits, computer AIs, magical swords, and giant robots here's a list.  There are 45 entries, you can cut out 15 you don't like and roll a d30.  Or I can, um, try to think of 55 more.

Yeah, your mom is in there too.

    Quite timely! I was just thinking about voices this morning; to wit:

    http://www.theonion.com/articles/laidback-voices-urging-man-to-kill-his-family-when,19794/

    As for dice, I'd use the Gygaxian AD&D d3 plus d15 approach.

    And when my mom shows up in one of your adventures you will run screaming, I assure you.

    Rock out.

    Voice speaks so slowly that by the time it's finished it's already too late.

    Like the bit in The Prisoner when he sees a message in the bottom of his beer glass and drinks it down quickly to find out that it says

    you
    have
    just
    been
    poisoned.

    ...BTW, with all the DDoS nonsense at livejournal I've set up a second site at http://lurkerablog.wordpress.com/

    I'm planning to cross post roleplaying stuff (only) in both places.
