Idea generators say “Get an idea!”

[avram]

Meh. I don’t hold much with fortune-telling per se, but I find some techniques useful as creativity stimulators, generators of semi-structured randomness that I can spark ideas off of. At least, sometimes.

So I’m trying to come up with plot ideas for this comic strip I want to work on, and I consult the Astrodice drcpunk picked up for me at GenCon. What do I get? The Sun and Scorpio in the 5th House with the lead pipe — brilliant creativity. Yeah, yeah, I know, I’m trying to be brilliantly creative, you dumb hunks of plastic, but it’s not flowing, so make with the ideas! OK, let’s try the Voyager Tarot — the Ace of Crystals, which means brilliance. Gee, thanks.
