Procedural Text Generation is a web app for generating text from procedural/random tables.
It’s a practical “idea engine” for brainstorming: roll up details, combine traits, and build prompts from composable pieces.
How to use it
- Open: randomtables.tedt.org
- Pick a table/category, roll, and combine results into a larger description
- Refresh/roll again to iterate quickly on variations
Notes

- This is an evolving system that also feeds other generators and bots.
