I'm not reprinting my long discussion on this, but wanted to direct all of you creative folks to THIS at Fan-to-pro.  An extremely detailed analysis that might give you some things to think about

Apologies to the contestants for the late update – had to fly out of town for a birthday and a family get-together.

Now we have more entries, including one for fun.  We’re getting some interesting stuff here – I definitely think the “character-driven” nature of the contest plays to people’s strengths.  However I think there’s a certain level of specificity that REALLY gets people going – be it with a character, a class, a species, etc.  I haven’t figure that out yet – but the Extreme Character contest got me very curious as to why that contest created so many entries.

Our latest entries

• Mystic Programmer and Rune Cyberneticist
• Anti-Gravity Zealot
• Blood Healer
• Gear Terraformer

As for the next generator, I hope to start on that soon. It will probably be a B-Movie title generator, as that would be A) cool and B) lead to awesome contests, but let us see . . .
