I wrote a script to generate a group of traits that give you a good starting point for a nation, tribe, culture, planet, or whatever. I’d planned to clean up the lists it grabs from and provide a little commentary here, but my day started with waking up late and went downhill from there, so…
Turns out I’m going to be working util 7 on Mondays, so I’ve tentatively moved new blog day to Wednesday. We’ll see how that works out and maybe change it again later. This week instead of a blog, I did a new random generator script, the Random Christmas One-Shot Adventure Generator. Give it a try!…
Sometimes, instead of a blog, you get a widget. This is one of those times. I made up a random generator script to generate one-shot (or if you’re really brave, campaign) ideas based on the tables in The Book of Dumb Tables 1 & 2. You can play with it on this ugly-ass page here….

If the basic names are too cliched for you (and trust me, they’re incredibly cliched), you have two options to spice them up. For a more exotic name, click the box to ad random…
