Iām filling in background details that I will probably never need in my gamemastering future. I have a lot of little spots where I can spend 5 to 15 minutes now creatingĀ ājust in caseā stuff, with my goal being to not have to stall during the actual session while I type furiously to answer a playerās sudden suspicion.Ā
Itās space opera. They might ask me what the star system looks like.Ā
The hardest part about usingĀ https://donjon.bin.sh/scifi/tsg/Ā is remembering to copy all the randomly generated info and paste it into a World Anvil article. If I need names for all the major bodies in that system,Ā https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/planet_names.phpĀ gives me ten at a time.
Weāre a bunch of nerds having a birthday party, so food might come up. No problem:Ā http://www.obscurehub.com/alien-restaurant-menu/Ā throws out better menus than I could create by mangling a real world takeout menu.Ā
And if they go wandering around random hallways of the space station, I can useĀ http://www.enworld.org/forum/dnd_view_block.php?id=210Ā to make up plot-irrelevant business names to keepĀ āem occupied while the bad guys sneak up from behind.
Thank Smurf for all the folks who release these random generators, because my brain is too tired to actually make stuff up right now.
