The Brainstormer!

What’s that, you say? You’re trying to come up with an idea for an adventure, and all you need is an adjective, noun, and a story complication?
Well then, you should give Andrew Bosley’s Brainstormer wheel gadget thingy a spin! Click the “Random” button in the center, and you could get something like:
self sacrifice – Egyptian – wagon
Which, with a little bit of applied brainstorming, could turn into something like:
a devoted and self-sacrificing archaeologist has gone missing while investigating the remains of some ancient Egyptian cattle wagons
…or…
a resurrected Egyptian mummy driving around in a stolen station wagon is terrorizing the neighborhood, and the PCs may have to skip their prom night in order to bring a stop to this evil.
…or something entirely different. Give it a try!
