Check this out. It's a random fantasy plot element generator. I have yet to pull a result that didn't give me a useful idea.

Nice!
And it ties in with a thread over on Star Hero (http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62526) I've been writing in.

These are easy to do. A long time ago I did a monster one for TableSmith. Not too long ago I did a more straightforward one for MetaCyber (Plot Generator (http://www.killershrike.com/MetaCyber/MetaCyberGM_PlotGenerator.aspx)). I could do one for Fantasy too if people wanted to start contributing ideas for it.

Good site.
My friends and I used to love random plot generators because they were like mad libs "Pepita the halfling princess is kidnapped by a war horse and taken to the Taj Mahal."
But now the writers have gotten smart and made them useful.
Too bad, thems were good times.
Not bad...
Locations: A boggy field, buzzing with stinging insects. (Wilderness)
Items: The corpse of a lord’s hunting hound, caught in a rose-briar. (Wilderness)
Characters: A necromancer who steals the knowledge of the dying. (Magical)
Characters: A scholar and antiquarian, unmindful of danger. (Ruins)
What knowledge did the Lord's hound have that necromancer wanted?

In my first set of hits I got some material that would be dead useful for the Halliruch Campaign. Thweet, tanx.
