Rando - An Imagination Spark Generator

2024-1-11

I love me some random generators but mine were showing my neglect and kinda all over the place. My friend Wightbred turned me onto GM's Apprentice Cards, which inspired me to refactor and extend my own generators into a single web app. Thus, Rando was born.

Thanks to feedback from Wightbred and others, I've been able to turn Rando into a surprisingly useful tool. I was able to incorporate all the things I use for my games. I now find myself using it for everything: prep, GM & Player prompts and even prompts to feed ChatGPT. And while I do not solo [new verb] myself, I am told that it works well for Solo Play too.

Give it a spin!
