Alright, the idea came to me after reading to many girl-falls-into-middle-earth/legomance/self-insert/Mary-sue (take your pick there's tons of them) style stories. Yes, I'm aware there are some very good ones and like gems studding a pile of shit, there are some that even reach epic proportions.

So I took this idea and got evil.

Also, I had writer's block and this is doing a good job at killing it.

What are the chances of a character actually surviving a drop into middle earth? Are they even going to meet friendly people? Supplies or no supplies? Skills that might be actually useful? Dropped in the middle of fuck-all-nowhere? Or accidentally trespassing in someone's domain?

So I set up a bunch of random generators.

Current lists are:

-Single/pair/group

-group size (if applicable)

-age (as young as 10 and as old as 60, rolled for each person in the event of a drop with multiples)

-male/female (also individual, in order of the age that was randomly selected in the case of multiples)

-supplies yes/no (again individual)

-special skills? (Ie. Someone who has skills from a profession (military/guide/cop/etc) or a hobby (horseback riding/hunting/camping/etc

-Where (and I used a ton of places from the general area to specific points. They can and possibly will move from the area given situation and duration)

-time of day (dawn/early morning/morning/mid day/afternoon/evening/dusk/early night/midnight/late night)

-weather

-do they appear with company or are they alone?

-is that company friendly/unfriendly/neutral?

-friendly company list

-unfriendly company list

-neutral list (wildlife/horses/domestic animals(house pets or farm) which will act as selected. Obviously a bear is going to be less pleased with your sudden company then a horse or a cow.

-Live/die/injured (will not be disclosed at the start of each chapter. It is for me to know and you to find out)

-injured serious/non serious (if applicable)

-where injured? (if applicable)

-Duration #1 minutes/hours/days? (Only one will be chosen. This will obviously change the chapter length. Someone plops down for a month is going to have more then someone who's there for a few minutes)

-minutes (if applicable) 1-60

-hours (if applicable) 1-24

-days (if applicable) 1-31

I think I got them all. If someone thinks of something else then leave a comment.

Onward to the first adventure!
