Random Swords & Sorcery Adventure Generator
For my own convenience, I converted the Random Swords & Sorcery Adventure Generator, offered as a resource on the AS&SH site, to HTML and JavaScript. The content was all written by Ben Ball, and isn't my work: all I did was reformat it for the web and add the code for easy random generation.
Going to the web page will generate a new set of results. You can generate additional sets of results with the GENERATE NEW ADVENTURE button. The category titles are all buttons: you can use each button to generate a new result for just that category, leaving the others as-is.
The address of the web page version I made is:
EDIT: Dropbox has changed the way it delivers HTML pages over the browser. Consequently, I've made the page available at
Its presentation is very plain, but it seems to work well enough. Thought some others might be interested.

Re: Random Swords & Sorcery Adventure Generator
You're welcome.
I recently updated the page to include a checkbox that allows you to use "expanded" data sets when generating the adventure. If the "expanded" check box is not checked, it will use the original data sets (typically 20 possibilities per category); if it is checked, it will use additional possibilities for some categories.

Re: Random Swords & Sorcery Adventure Generator
Mr. Jurament, I presume?
I believe we previously met on the Troll Lord Games forum and/or Dragonsfoot forum. This is really cool. Thanks for sharing it!
