    The lockroom wing

    This wing stores names for fictional crews that live in rumor before they live on the page. Some entries sound like night-entry professionals. Others belong to safecracker specialists, getaway drivers, inside-man whispers, or crews remembered only because their hideout burned.

    Using the entries

    Pick a name for the job it performs. A newspaper-style name makes the crew public. A tattoo or symbol name gives you a mark to repeat. A rookie-disaster name tells the reader the crew has history, and not all of it flattering.

    Reading the tone

    High-society names carry polish and contempt. Back-alley names carry grit. Rival-crew names bring pressure before the scene begins. Mix one result with a district, a calling card, or a broker connection when the first roll is close but not exact.

    Questions for the casefile

    • Who first wrote this name down?
    • Which job made the city repeat it?
    • Does the crew like the name?
    • Which rival tries to ruin it?
    • What would make the name sound tragic later?

    Scribes ask…

    Can I really use these burglary crew for free?

    Yes. Every name rolled with the Burglary Crew is free to use in your stories, games, streams or projects — no credit required, though a kind word is always welcome. Just remember the muse is generous, so the occasional name may already belong to someone else; double-check before tattooing it on a logo.

    Is there a limit to how many burglary crew I can roll?

    Roll until your dice catch fire. The codex holds many hundreds of burglary crew for this generator alone, and the pool gets shuffled on every visit, so you'll rarely see the same line-up twice.

    Does this work without an internet connection?

    Once a generator's page has loaded, the names are cached in your browser. You can reroll on a train, in a tent, or deep in a dungeon — no signal required.
