Thanks for sharing, I like it.  I'm actually going to print it out for my Traveller notes, see if I get a chance to work it in.

Cool! Hope it comes in handy some day!

Great stuff!

I can spin entire adventures from each individual item on that list.

Thanks for posting it.

Wow, now that is cool!

Very cool. I'll get some use out of this.

Check out the island creation rules for Mazes & Minotaurs (free PDF). Its a quick and basic three step chart worth emulating.

Check out AEG's Ultimate Toolbox. It's about 400 pages of that sort of thing.

I bought the original Toolbox, and certainly made use of it; but I did finally end up with the conclusion that there is such a thing as too much of this stuff; some of the awesomeness ends up getting drowned out somehow.
