- Section 4: Determining Your Name Conditions
- Sometimes, a character will have a plot based condition that affects their name.
- You, too, might have a condition that affects your name. Conditions can stack, so please make note of how many your name has.
- 1. THE MAN CONDITION
- Roll a d4. Use this table to determine whether you have this condition:
- 1-3: You do not have this condition.
- 4: You have this condition. Your last name will include the suffix -man.
- If your name already has man at the end of it, I guess you’re just going to have manman at the end of your name.
- 2. THE CONDITION CONDITION: Roll a d8. Use this table to determine what this condition will do to you:
- 1-5: You do not have this condition.
- 6: You’re big. Your name must have “Big” at the beginning of it.
- 7: You are older than you once were. Your name must have “Old” atthe beginning of it.
- 8: You are how you currently are. Please add your answer from Section 2, Number 11 to the beginning of your name.
- 3. THE CLONE CONDITION: Roll a d12. Use this table to determine if you havethis condition:
- 1-11:You do not have this condition.
- 12: You are a clone of someone else, or you have been brainwashed into becoming a mental doppelganger of someone else. Find someone who has completed this worksheet and replace 50% of your Kojima name with 50% of their Kojima name.
- 4. THE KOJIMA CONDITION: Roll a d100 (or two d10s, using one as the 1s place and the other as the 10s place.) Use this table to determine if you have this condition:
- 1-68, 70-100:You do not have this condition.
- 69: Oh no. You are Hideo Kojima. Hideo Kojima created you and is also
- you. You are the man who created himself and there is nothing you
- can do about it. You’re in Kojima’s world—your world—and that’s
- just the breaks, pal. Stop this worksheet now. You’re Hideo Kojima.
- Go do the things that Hideo Kojima does.
- Section 5: Determining Your Name Category
- Kojima names fall into a finite number of categories. This section will
- determine the category in which you name belongs. NOTE: If you have a
- name + 6 alternate names, you will do this section once to find your true
- name, and then you will have an alternate name in every other category.
- 5. Roll a d20. Use this table to determine your name category. Once you
- have figured out your name category, you can skip ahead to the section
- that outlines the rules of your name:

- 20: You have a NAME THAT LACKS SUBTEXT (See Section 12)
- Section 6: NORMAL NAME
- Kojima’s early work includes lots of characters that have names that are
- widely considered to be “normal.” Was this just because, in the early years,
- he didn’t have the power to say, “I’m Hideo Kojima, I can name someone
- DieHardman if I want to” without people questioning him? Probably.
