Ooooh baby.Hope it proves useful. I may expand it in the future with more bits of text, since more is always better. This is actually the pure text version. I have one with images as well:
I don't care that much for Auto-Morphica or Cult Generator (they both seem cool though), but I can see myself using Mechanical Muse a lot in my Gun Francisco worldbuilding woes. Thanks a lot, mister!
Is there anywhere we can get the one with images? The Mechanical Muse looks like it could be very handy indeed, even more so with visual content.
I'm sad that you can't post the random loot generator because that sounds the most interesting. But it's understandable you're using that for ER. The other ones are cool too.I could always create a loot generator that ISN'T for ER. Though it might be very random if not focused by setting or context.

What I'm currently working on.
(http://i.imgur.com/KEA79gV.png)Using this as a base, could you also create a Random Potion Generator for RPGs and such? Each potion could have beneficial and/or negative effects in addition to how it looks/tastes/smells.

That's actually planned. I still have to add the...lets see...Strength of the liquid (ie how much is needed to see effects), major effects, minor effects, description of the container and a name generator.(http://i.imgur.com/KEA79gV.png)Using this as a base, could you also create a Random Potion Generator for RPGs and such?

That Mechanical Muse is really useful! I wonder what horrible psychological effects it would have if an audio version of it was listened to whilst sleeping :PI think after this generator is done, the next thing I'll do is update the mechanical muse with more stuff.

And who hasn't, honestly.
Interpret it however ya want friendo. Whatever produces the best result.In case you ever wanted a sword haunted by a layered hive of infant souls.Sigged.

Am I meant to be interpreting Calamitous and Viral in the same way as their perplexicon effects?
I ended up with a Potion of Moonlight.

Now if I can only figure out how to layer images in twine...This thread (http://twinery.org/forum/index.php?topic=1918.0) may help. From what I understand, you could make each image a separate CSS class and have their position as absolute so that they appear in the same location even if there's something already below them. Though that seems rather complicated and I don't know much CSS.
Thats certainly what I'm looking to do, so it's good to know it exists and is possible.Now if I can only figure out how to layer images in twine...This thread (http://twinery.org/forum/index.php?topic=1918.0) may help.

EDIT: This should do the trick! (http://strugglingwithtwine.blogspot.com.au/)
How do you open them .tws files?Those aren't finished, they're just unfinished twine projects sitting in the file.
Hey, when you're caught up, or if it takes your interest, could you add a robotic conversion system to the automorphica? Something where the base creature has one or more mechanical "themes" applied to it, where each theme would be a separate run through the generator, giving structural materials, power source, design principles, etc. So you could make a creature, generate a robotic template for it, and then add a mutation set and roll up a separate template for the mutations to do a robot that was damaged and repaired with nonstandard components. Or, you could just roll it after the mutation to get an easy cyborg generator.I could do something...sort of like that maybe. But honestly, I'll probably not mess with automorphica. First because it was designed as an automated version of a preexisting thing.
Well, food for thought, at least. Quite an impressive spread already.
Maybe it was coincidence, but the sigils produced by the second generator were slightly less busy and I liked them more. Not sure if there were other differences between the two.That is the difference. The first one chooses pieces to use every time. The second one doesn't always use all the pieces.
Other then the sigils, is there any other aspect of this that people think needs to be added or tweaked.I dunno. More odd locations (like the ones where it's inside a musical composition, people's minds, books and whatnot) would be nice though.
Why do we not have generator generators yet?

I figured it ou. When I typed that I couldn't get thtws file to open, I figured it out, I needed to use twine 1 not 2Yeah. Twine two, as far as I know, can only be used online. Which I don't like.
Where did you here that. I have it download on my computer I'll check if I have to be connected to the Internet to use it when I get home.That may have changed, I looked at it quite a while back. They might have released it for local use since then.
Yeah it works fine now.Pretty good.
this is one of the weapons my generator made
"Name
the void long sword of healing
appearance
a long sword made of average frozen quicksilver
back story
created by an angelic peasent out of spite to memorialize an assassination"
Thanks, some times my generator makes something that fits together perfectly, and some times I'm like what where you thinking computer.You can get over that via a rather more complex method of using <<if>> statements and variables to choose categories of things. So that you can have certain random choices cause the program to only choose among certain other random choices. It's a good way to prevent your "Sword of shining goodness" from also containing the ability to summon demons via child sacrifice.
How do you make your generator stay thematically correct.I'm don't know about Twine, but could you assign some sort of tag to each part of the substrings, where the tag represents the theme? If so, you could make the generator pick a theme, and then only pick strings out of that theme.
The only way I know how to do that is with many if else statementsThe way I've figured out how to do it is like this:
The Weird Technique of the Stab -- Stabbing someone is weird, apparently.
The Dirty Path of the Honest FistThe art of justifying fighting dirty while still retaining honer. :P
What do you mean by "Building"? There are a hell of a lot of different structures that mankind has made over the years, and everything from an outhouse to the great pyramid of giza is considered a building. I need specifics. Time period too.
- The Celebrated Blow Method - Uh. I hope this revolves around improvising blowdarts and not weaponized fellatio.
- Agile Coffin School - Especially popular with vampires. Horrible, horrible vampires that bounce around their coffins in broad daylight, crushing people to death.
- The Putrid Cocoon Path - I guess if you roll around in excrement, people will be hesitant to punch you.
- The Spider Method - Also known as living in Australia.
- The Ecstatic Art of the One hundred and twenty Club - Weaponized nightclubbing, apparently.
- The Lucky Path of the Electric Stampede - Segway Hit and Run.
If you're still accepting generator requests, I'd like to request a building generator.
Ooh, a bathroom or outhouse generator. Include possibilities for messages on walls, mysterious stains of varying shapes and colors, variable numbers of stalls, different models of toilet and missing hygienic articles.thats the kind of stupid I can get behind.
Nope. I'll probably throw a party when he makes this.
"You live in upper-class housing.Nope. I'll probably throw a party when he makes this.

Where's the random skeleton generator?

Where's the random skeleton generator?I'm feeling compelled.
Requesting a gibberish word generator, for... perplexicon reasons.
Yes, but PW didn't share it. :PI used...where is it...Ah here
How about a mythological monster generator? Look up Wikipedia's list of legendary creatures by type for ideas, then mix up elements accordingly.The Metamorphica has something like that, but without the stuff about their activities. Could do that.
"A creature with the head and upper body of a horse with the back and rear legs of a lion. It can turn people to stone with its breath. It is aggressive, but can be placated by giving it gold."
"A green eagle. It can cause seizures in those who meet its gaze. It takes on the form of a woman and seduces human men in order to reproduce."
"A winged bear that lives in rivers. It stalks humans and drinks their blood. It can be driven off by the smell of potatoes."
Party aftermath? Give me some examplesYou awaken in: a different hotel entirely. You are wearing: a vivisected corpse, and, an engagement ring. Around you are: half a keg of beer containing an icelandic death metal bear, a bound and struggling man with a bag over his head, a pile of receipts that smell of alcohol, a brick wall made out of bricks of cocaine, and, the Washington Monument gift-wrapped in erotic novels written in a language you can't read.
Keeps giving me infants with sexual fetishes. and who play sports. Pls nerfHmm I should probably make it so that people under 20 aren't married either...later. tired.
a) I am trying to generate a series of numbers within parameters. I need to be able to copy the text of this list of numbers. I would suggest this because I think all GMs could focus more creativity with a tool for the mundane like this.Jesus christ this is late but
b) What program is ideal to open your generators, the muse with images in reply #5, for instance?
Random bug report: In your "Character Generator" generator it is possible children aged 1-10 to be married and have a children. I mean it's technically possible for 6 year old to become a mother, but perhaps there's space for some additional age checks?
