Serendipity
Hi, my name is Manon and I like random generators. Kind of a lot, actually. Having discovered that the venerable Seventh Sanctum had templates available for download, I set to work overhauling my old generators and making some new ones. And now look at me.
Yes, you may use the output of these generators in your novel, RPG, etc. That's what they're for. If you want to give me credit with a note and/or link, that's very nice of you and is appreciated, but it's not required. You DO NOT need to contact me for permission.
IMPORTANT: READ THIS

Feel free to email me with your comments or suggestions. I don't promise to respond to all of them, but I'll read them. You can also sign my shiny new guestbook if you don't feel like bothering with email. But first, read the FAQ! :)
