Looking for lists

[Fiskonian]

Hi,
I am looking for lists of random names, backgrounds, goals, etc. much like you find a DM guide for NPC's.
Also, the same thing for weather, taverns, books, item descriptions.

Basically looking for easy to use lists that I can print out for the game. I discovered I don't like having the computers in the way because people get distracted too easily.

I'm sure there are free online resources, but you'd probably love this book: Ultimate Toolbox.

Thats pretty much exactly what I was looking for. You sir, are amazing!

I regularly use Seventh Sanctum, which contains tons of random generators. Names, setting details, equipment, character descriptions, and other things as well. I have a number of lists I've generated from there that I keep on my computer for use as a GM.

The site Serendipity also has a number of generators. They have name generators of some interesting flavors, but also generators designed to help spur your story along, which can be used for plot, places, and people in the game.

May I suggest Medieval Times?
