This is a collection of "generators", on the order of those "[fill in the blank] Name Generators" that crop up on the Intertubes from time to time, but much broader in scope and, IMHO, vastly more entertaining. My personal favorite is the Tarot Card Generator

... which includes entirely new suits, as well as new major trumps.

Anyone care for a writing challenge?
