Online Random-Generator Generator using wiki

I like the idea of what that could produce, but am having difficulty designing a contest that captures the collaborative (as opposed to strictly competitive) spirit .

Well, I'll leave the philosophizing to you - just let me know when/if and how you want to go ahead with it.

Wow, this is an amazing idea! Big freakin' kudos, dude. Best use of a wiki since Tiddlywikis!

...But I was just thinking of how one could link the random descriptions to sets of properties for an item or the character descriptions to be a starting point for a random character.
...Main problem I am having is how to allow one result to influence furthur results in that "Line".

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want it to remember things it has generated and be able to reference them later, or be able to associate data for later use with generated results? It can't do that (for now), although the program that inspired me, Tablesmith, can do that kind of thing (just not collaboratively or on the web). You might be able to do something like what you're talking about, but at this point it's capabilities are, admittedly, limited compared to Tablesmith.

Also, thanks Asmor! that's high praise!
