Okay, this technically isn't something that I actually wrote, but I figured I'd share it for all those writers/NaNo-ists/GMs/plotters among us.
Have you ever wanted an idea/ Be it for a culture, civilization, name, place, or anything else, I'm guessing you've all said, "I wish there were a randomized generator for that!" because you are COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY OUT OF IDEAS and you need something NOW.
Guys?
Hello and welcome to Chaotic Shiny.
Run by a group of gamers with wayyyyy too much time on their hands, Chaotic Shny is a website with a random generator for just about everything.
No.
Literally.
We mean it.
If you clicked that link up there, you've already seen, but they have.... I don't even want to count how many random generators they have. Divided by categories, there are generators for people, cultures, silliness, and all kinds ofeverything.
A shortlist of their useful generators? Okay. Here goes.
There's generators for alphabets, civilizations, constellations, flags, holidays, laws, magic, mottos, stars, superstitions, movives, opinions, animal/hman hybrids, places (incuding arenas, bazaars, maps, and cities), portals, several different name generators, animal companions, cars, charms, magic artifacts, spaceships, tarot cards, ballads, diseases, silly drinks, fashions, martal arts, traps, monsters, zombies, scenarios, historical events, poems, code phrases, conspiracies, and EVEN MORE THAN THAT. They even have a link that takes you to a random random generator on their site.
In fact, the careful observer will note that the website itself is a random year generator - their "Random generators since (year)" line at the top of the page changes randomly.
So come on, folks. Get inspired. Step right up to Chaotic SHiny.
Oh, and for all of you NaNovelists? Scroll all the way down and click the "NaNo Motivator" link for a laugh
