Interesting.  I had not seen this before.  Seems rather limited in options though, since everything's just generated by picking a random wiki page that they've linked to it.  An interesting brainstorming tool I suppose though.

It did put me in mind of Dave Allen's old Nation Builder program, which was a clever little tool that would take maps generated by it's sister program, and then actually generate a whole history of the world with various nations rising and falling.

It was a pretty clever little gizmo, which you can still find in the files section here:  http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/rpg-tools/files/GMTools/

EDIT:  Unfortunately, it seems to be missing key resource files, so it doesn't actually seem to work.
Bedroom Wall Press - Games that make you feel like a kid again.

Arcana Rising - An Urban Fantasy Roleplaying Game, powered by Hulks and Horrors.
Hulks and Horrors - A Sci-Fi Roleplaying game of Exploration and Dungeon Adventure
Heaven\'s Shadow - A Roleplaying Game of Faith and Assassination

Never seen it before, but it did inspire me right off the bat. The idea of the Aswang, a bloated ghoul like creature that might resemble a pregnant woman, might be featuring in an upcoming game of mine..
The Secret Volcano Base: my intermittently updated RPG blog.

Running: Pathfinder Scarred Lands, Mutants & Masterminds, Masks, Starfinder, Bulldogs!

While I don't have access to that site, if you are talking about what I think you are, you need build11win.exe for it to work.

RPGPundit

That was fucking useless. If you set a search engine to seek out random sites under a specified header that you came up with, you would get better results.
"Meh."

RPGPundit

Meh, I thought it was kind of ok.

That's some serious nightmare fuel.
Mechanics should reflect flavor. Always.
