Random Prophecy Generators?

[Darkfox190]

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I didn't see a better place, so I'll put it here and see what happens.

I'm looking for a sort of "random prophecy generator" for use with a D&D game. Something that'll give me things for a seer to say, that sound good and are kind of generic, so that players can draw the wrong conclusion out of something. I've seen tons of other random *whatever* generators around the net, but a few searches in Google and Yahoo have turned up nothing I could download and give a swing at.

I have a semi-not-working prophecy generator that I can crank these out of pretty quickly:

Those who have no names shall gain hold of the saviour's court
The Armor shall be vandalized, then through the celestial hills, the spur will drain
the cursed regent will die, then the dukes of sword's strike shall gain the beautiful blades, and the Guard of the Blade must answer, and defeat Battleeye ere the earth rattles at the mouth of the night river of many branches.

Grab the "end of year" issue of a supermarket tabloid. They always have Jeanne Dixon or some other alleged psychic making vague predictions about what's going to happen in the next year.

Buy a deck of tarot cards. They usually come with a little pamphlet saying what each of the cards mean and how to do a basic reading. You can either use them as a generator of sorts to come up with ideas beforeheand or make a reading in game to use a cool prop.

If you go the tarot route, I recommend marking any cards you find boring with names of D&D monsters you find interesting. There's a lot of stuff in the tarot deck that is just not that exciting.

You can get tarot cards that look like pretty much anything. I have a deck of tarot cards with pictures of dragons on them. They're pretty awesome looking. I used to use them a lot in high school when I went through a "new age" phase. I don't use them much any more, but I have heard people suggest to use them for generating random plots. The meanings for each card are all pretty general, things like "a dark man", "a woman of power", or "a conflict", so they're easy to fit into whatever characters and world you have in mind.

May I have one with nekkid women, then, please?

One piece of advice with a tarot deck: Never play poker with it. You get a full house and three neighbours die!

Wait, you mean those predictions aren't 100% accurate? D'oh!
