What it does

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.
