I have a bunch of level themes, But the content escaped me...
So I made a list of 'things'. Some things are specific, and some can apply to many situations.

Each word could lead to many ideas. That's why some are obscure. This is a list that may grow (Feel free to add words to this thread!)

Take each word and ask yourself if there's something about that word that could apply to your level, room, theme, whatever.

Plural words can be singular and the other way around, and there's so many variations. Like SPLASH (a sound) SPLASHING (something coating the walls or floor, or thrashing in water) SPLASHED something that slpattered on the wall...

The word TIME.. could be a clock, a calendar, a sun dial, an hourglass etc...

Hope it helps some people get some ideas. For each of my levels, I'll be looking at each word to see how it can apply to it or not.

It's a long list, so maybe copy it and put it in a text file.

hey I like that idea. By just going through that more or less random words you get a lot of ideas. Easy, but effective!

That was my thoughts too \:\)

Also you can combine words... which is really great! Anyone can put a chair in an old attic... but add 'stained' or 'scratched' or 'carved' and you can make your content a little more realistic...

New words to add....(I think one is a double)

Many people find it effective to "limit" themselves when it comes to coming up with ideas - i.e. choosing three random words and then making a game around that.

Thats another way to use your list \:\) So who's going to make the best "rounded Mirror-mosaic" game? ;\)


Perhaps this post will get me points for originality at least.

Check out Dungeon Deities! It's amazing and will make you happy, successful and almost certainly more attractive! It might be true!
