Some Moons - Random Moon Generator

"Full moon"
"Mega moon"
"Super blood harvest moon"
"Frost moon"
Etc....

WE DEMAND MORE MOONS!!!!

So I created this generator to provide EVEN MORE MOONS (fantastic, outlandish, suggestive, what have you).

Use this to create some interesting moons for your setting.
How does the moon influence the characters?

How does the world change during this moon?

I started with the moon phases (new, crescent, full, meta, micro, etc), and added in attributes and professions (many of which come from Troika and Electric Bastionland)

For extra fun, I threw in an "amount of moons" to occasionally throw out some bonus (double, triple, infinity) moons.

Here's what's going on behind the scenes:

Now... forget the annotations!

I love the slipperiness and openness of the language here.
"Drowning" can refer to the moon or to the "Chaos Champion"
Is "New" describing the moon itself, or is it a newly drowning Chaos Champion?

I left the structure deliberately open to this kind of fluid interpretation.

Here are some others I am digging:






Have fun with the generator, and share your favorites in comments below!
(Also, you can copy and "edit" the generator to create your own versions)

Ok, one more:

Faction Inspiration: Expression

Let's look at one of the many factions interested in the Solomon Stations: Expression.

(Images below can be found on my pinterest board for the Expression faction)

This faction basically answers the question: what would artists do if they discovered ancient powerful tech that would allow them to bend reality in service of their artistic vision? How could they express themselves if freed from the constraints of the oh-so-tired "laws" of physics?

• Massive environmental art (solar system as installation art?)
• Body augmentation
• Merging with the environment
• Inscribing hyper-dimensional geometries on lower-order surfaces
• Collecting and connecting objects, sacred and mundane
• Translating via the body
• Expanding and bending light (red shift, blue shift, black (w)hole)

Like the other factions exploring the Solomon Stations, Expression will have unique tech and code they've developed on the Stations.

What weird tech do you think that artists would create if they were empowered by an ancient alien intelligence?

Which artists do you think would benefit from a trip to a Station to help them expand their work?

Glitch Corps! (a Spotify Playlist-based Sandbox (SPbS))

Character and setting generation ideas sampled and remixed from Genre Glitch playlist on Spotify:

All language used is from song titles, artist names, album names, etc.

Organized for use in Troika, but can be used in any system.

No descriptions or stats, just language open to interpretation.

Go crazy with it.

You are a member of the elite Glitch Corps…

Create a character and decide what the Glitch Corps actually does, and then … do that?
