Teresa linked to a page of generators by Steven Savage. These are wonderful idea-sparkers for RPG games. Teresa likes the Academic SF Generator, ideal if you need course names for that far-future university setting:

• Basic Paradoxical Robotics
• Historical Genetic Engineering
• History of Inter-Planar Theology
• Nanotechnological Anthropology
• Quantumn Law
• Political Terraforming

She also recommends the Action Film Trailer Generator:

• In a city of war, in a time of fear, an inventor tries to participate in the greatest fighting tournament of history.
• In a hellish land of lost souls, in an era of mystery, two spirits quest for fame and battle a mob of undead.
• In a terrifying kingdom of blood, in a time of illusions and enchantment, a botanist quests for love and opposes evil.
• In a land of insanity and war, a fighter pilot and a gambler hope to save the last living fertile woman.

I wish I’d had the Anime Power Generator when I was first developing the Wander Angel campaign:

• Beam Flashing Laser Kiss
• Venus Shine
• Romantic Assault Lovely Illuminated Romance Spark
• Barrage Battling Weapon Cremating Lance
• Charming Umbra Shadowy Chant Curse
• Umbra Spirit

I think I can still find some use for the Academic Magical Realm Generator, fantasy equivalent of the Academic SF Generator:

• Taxonomic Summoning
• Philosophy of Invisible Studies
• Popular Magery
• Hermetic Engineering
• Recent Chronomancy
• Relativistic Invocation

...and the Dark Minion Generator:

• Brain Scions From The Chaotic Sphere
• Eating Entities Of The Unthinkable Messiah
• Jackal Inheritors
• People Of The Tearing Burner

...and the Magic Item Generator (the “Generate 50” button doesn’t seem to work), the Dark Ritual Generator, hell, the whole list of magical generators. Maybe even the Villainous Plot Generator:

Your wonderful scheme: kidnap a beloved talk-show host so you can replace him/her with an imposter, which sets the stage to sieze control of a legion of mercenaries, which allows you to create a magical focus, which sets the stage to build a super battleship, which sets the stage to summon an elder god, easily allowing you to blackmail a congressperson for a huge sum, enabling you to fund your research for the rest of your life!

Oh, and these pretentious vampire names are great:

• Demetrius Geiger
• Draco Valentine
• Jezebell Marquis
• Kristopher Youngblood
• Misty Vanderpoole
• Nichole Cross
• Solomon Dark

These were very funny. Yeah! I could see the "Academic Magical Realm Generator" titles in a China Mieville book. Hah!
