Random Brief generator

[xabian]

I seem to remember something like this rattling around a while back but can't seem to find it again, also it seemed to come up with some really random combination's.
So yeah I've attempted to make one kinda, how it works is you use a random number generator such as this Dungeons and Dragons dice roller (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm) to choose a number for each of the topics listed bellow, any suggestions on this or whatever would be much appreciated

What do you want it to, you know, do? Easy enough to choose a random item from each list and join them together but it won't make much sense. Maybe give an example of what it might say?

[xabian]

Ok right yeah fair enough I'll do an example to show you how it works.
Medium = RTS
Concept Type = Sketch
Genre = Fantasy
Form = Prop
Key words/phrases = Elemental

So the brief would be "to sketch a fantasy elemental prob for an RTS"

I was thinking about this, and maybe if you combined it with Prometheus|ANJ (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=129457&page=8) ArtPG (http://www.sirmikeofmitchell.com/apedogs/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=158&sid=c8d93e6db96db6049a0c7b571e99f441) it could work out to be a really fun amazing project.

Can't this site just eaily implement that the first 2 posts posted from a new account has to be reviewed before any posts can be viewed? Cgtalk I know has this policy. I don't know how easy it is to implement though.

Perhaps a 5-10 minute wait between posts for anyone with a post count under ten?

I have a fair bit of trouble coming up with design briefs for myself to keep my drawing in practice, this really helped. Nice one!
Found it works well if you roll a couple of times per criteria, gives it more depth!
Maybe if we all chipped in, we could get the Keywords up to a list of 100, that'd make it random!
Thanks!

Roll 5 dice if you don't have 5 dice there are two links before the key.

"Hello, where is everyone?..."

*silence

"I'm the only one left, I have all the time in the world to draw my pictures uninterrupted now."

*puts hand in one pocket and pulls out the Random Brief generator and in the other hand, a 20 sided dice. Unfortunately, the dice slips from the fingers, bounces along the ground a few times and tumbles down a drain.

"That's not fair. That's not fair at all. There was time now. There was all the time I needed...! THAT'S NOT FAIR!"
