I've been building topical ESL conversation question randomizers with tables of values with Perchance.org.

Students can pick a question they feel comfortable answering from a list of target output patterns generated for them, and if they don't like any of the questions or topics displayed, they can click a button and generate other choices.

We can also build sentence patterns together to extend the activity, or extend vocab lists with student suggestions.

Updated my instant world builder. The starting point is always a Lankhamar-tribute city, because every fantasy world needs one of those. Instead of generating neighboring nations in the four cardinal directions, it creates six neighbors, for use with hex maps.

Instant World Builder!

Create fantasy kingdoms, and the wild places in between. Are there any fantasy cliches I missed? #perchance #fantasy #worldbuilding

I made a tutorial/example code for gender and pronouns in #perchance. Check it out.

My super-hero generator just have me a bad guy named "Doctor Weed." (He has plant control powers) I think it's ready. #perchance #superhero

I made a page for all my #perchance nonsense.

At this point I'm basically building a fantasy rpg world via perchance generators. #perchance #ttrpg

I did heroes, now for villains:

I spun up a #Perchance generator for various deities, based on a dataset from another generator. I did that so I could eventually use it to generate subdomains for blakeslabs.com experiments (i.e. hera-hephaestus.blakeslabs.com)

https://perchance.org/real-deities

It would be nice to have a non-HTML way to do this though.

Taking a moment to appreciate this thing I once made with Perchance.org...

A random generator of cultish pseudo-religious gibberish.

Modeled especially after Thus Sprach Zarathustra.

In other news I've been using Perchance to play around with my alternate random NPC tables. A nice thing about it is that it lets me generate a lot of people quickly and get a better feel for how my random table works.

I've got a generic person generator, making use of my name generator. I want to add a lot more traits and also maybe balance the frequency of some traits better, but I'm starting to be pretty happy with this direction.

Don't know if anyone else uses #perchance, but is it at all possible to reference generators in other generators?

While I wait for itch to approve my email, I've been entertaining myself by making name generators that make names that sound like they could come from the same language.

I had one before, for the Letatuje region in one of my other adventures, which was designed so that I could make new words by rolling dice.

I've realized perchance (which I've just discovered) lets me create more complicated word structures though.

@Kencf618033 Haven't heard of #Perchance up until now. What random generator did you use?

And yes, the second set of results is #weird on its way to #scary.

Fed #Perchance the description above of Miss October 1968. Oddly appealing in a #ValleyOfTheCanny sort of way. So let's feed the lower right image back to
#CLIPInterrogator. Rinse and repeat.

#Perchance Oddly appealing in a #ValleyOfTheCanny way.

#Perchance text generators has been the biggest springboard to several activities for my conversation and College English classes this year. I enjoy the creative parsing skills to categorize the info in useful ways.

I'm finally getting around to using it for #RPG projects as it was intended.

Being able to generate nearly endless random prompts, then using those prompts build a AI generated image with those prompts changes EVERYTHING too. It's fun and also powerful.

@stormtechnician I even went and threw together a #perchance generator for #coreTEK mecha configurations: https://perchance.org/7j5kc7hbpp

Very happy with the state of my #coreTEK "Mech Powers" #perchance generator, now that I've added limits and—through the power of imports—technobabble module names. Do they match the associated #CortexRPG powers? Do they make any sense whatsoever? Perhaps not! But they _imply_ sense-making, and that's the spark that lights the fire of imagination. We are just _inching_ towards #TTRPG verisimilitude, here.
