There is a very similar article, the "Semi-Random 4E Monster Name Generator," in the first issue of Level Up! from Geoodman Games.<br /><br />It has two columns, each rolled using 2d12, to create a single compound adjective (it presumes you are providing the noun yourself, I guess).

The occasional Ironhorn Reaver is fine and dandy but too much of that sort of thing grates.<BR/><BR/>And I agree with you on the coolness of random monster building charts!
