The brain is a wet sinkhole and synapses connect to bits that get thrown in there. Entire chasms are devoted to the shining marbles of nameless entrants that despite having their patrons being long forgotten yet shine and affect the whole. Creativity as a result is a snapshot into the depths, chance connections of different pits and assorted remnants.
Or something like that. What I'm getting at is my brain-hole has a bunch of stuff in it and connecting things sunk in there makes more new things. To that end, spark tables the like of which are used by Chris McDowall in Bastionland are fantastic and can make those random connections and spark up new ideas and are really good when you need to ad lib something in a pinch or need something inspiring to spring off of when filling out a blank hex.
So I made Chris's Ask the Stars into a generator with a button because buttons are fun.
While doing some amateur digital archaeology I also found this wonderful table of character archetypes over on Eldritch Fields and felt I had to make that into a button as well. Similar warnings as from the original post, the source text for this table is pretty awful.
Code comes to us credit of Spwack over here.
