This generator is based on my Simple Card-Driven Personality Generation post but repurposed for a solo game I am currently playing which is set in a tropey, savage and primeval land. All the gifs are from Fire and Ice.
The How
Draw two cards from a standard deck of playing cards (jokers removed) and consult the table below. The first card drawn indicates the adjective - the second indicates the noun. Combine the words to form the character's personality type. Depending on its use, this table go a little beyond the remit of the previous generator and can suggest things that veer beyond personality, therefore it is as much a generator of characters as it is of personalities.

ReplyDeleteThis generator is intriguing! Combining elements of cards to create character personalities and traits adds a unique flavor. I like the dual meanings it provides, both in personality and character features. Looking forward to seeing more about your game!
