will probably add to this. Kept telling myself I would do perchance things upon getting another laptop, but it’s been a bazillion years and still no laptop so here is a simple phonecreated generator :)
Nice! You could probably have the wikipedia url static, then just change the last part of the URL depending on the people :)
Generate the last 10 important/turning points based on the context inputted. Use to generate the important points in the history of your world (also generates the possible starting point of your story and title).
fun generator :)
