Selection influenced by a randomly generated card from the Orphalese Tarot program
Set Up At Least 2 Characters
- it’s easier to build a dynamic with at least two characters
- for a greater challenge use just one
- use too many characters and the short story gets messy
- use existing characters created from the Chaos Cast Challenges
- or create new characters
- you can use an online dice roller to randomly select an existing character
- if you have 7 characters and you used a d8 but rolled an 8, create a new character to fill the empty slot (or roll again) for example
- you are also free to just choose the characters you want to write about
Setting
- choose a setting created from the Chaos Set Challenges

The character generator is amazing! I used it this morning and WOW! Thank you for sharing.
I love using it as a starting point when I need to break through a block. Seventh Sanctum has plenty other generators on their site to check out.
