Haven't seen one of these before, so let's give it a shot. We're going to be using the tables on page 7 to 11 of the Instant Game Rulebook (found here http://www.nerdprideradio.com/?page_id=82) to create a setting, rolling in order. I'll start.

Rolled 8 (1d100)

>>48051838
So, the setting we're rolling is on an Arkship.

Rolled 91, 11, 13, 87, 17, 9, 12, 39, 81, 79, 100, 62 = 601 (12d100)

Well shit.
That practically writes itself.

Rolled 49 (1d100)

So we have horror onboard an arcship. Sounds good so far.

Mileage may vary, I guess

Rolled 97 (1d100)

>>48052836

>>48052837
Let me give it a shot:
It's set in a wild-west style city in the desert created for genetically-engineered psychics after their presence caused many around them to go insane. The players have to fight a member of the city council who is part of a religious sect who wants to use the psychics as a way to drive huge masses of people insane at once, an act they say brings their god closer to the world.
Can't figure out how the concerned eager parent fits in, though.

>>48052910
With werewolves. Anyone mind if we change that to just "people transforming into monsters?"
>>
>>48052951
I do believe you mean with "Even more?" people.
>>
Rolled 13, 68, 45, 26, 3, 15, 18, 8, 64, 4, 81, 44 = 389 (12d100)

>>48052837
>Mileage may vary, I guess
Alright, I'll give it another go.
>>
>>48052951
Oh. I just moved to things, but population is probably worth a roll. It is an arkship, after all.
>>
Rolled 24 (1d100)

>>48053008
>>
>>48053035
>>48053047
Alright, so ~600 people, some of which are werewolves.
>>
>>48053057
Actually, I used anon's rolls and then moved to things. So, a shitload of people and a dungeon.
>>
>>48053071
Big Arkship. Less interesting though.

>>48053022
>Setting: Boston, 1770s
>Tone: Parable/Moralistic
>Population: 15,000
>Thing: Empire
>Other Thing: Auditorium
>Action: Clear
>Opposition: Deity
>Tech: Artificial Intelligence
>Place: Orphanage
>Description: Ancient
>People: Security Forces
>Personality: Hasty

>>48052837
Point conceded.
>>
>>48053071
Maybe the arkship is some sort of alien tech that showed up just when the earth was about to die from disease, overpopulation, and flooding. Humanity has made a mass exodus to the ship, but the labyrinthine inner workings of the ship have yet to be explored.

>>48053118
>Festival
How do we do sci-fi dungeon festival-related horror?
>>
>>48053137
Maybe on certain dates the inner workings of the ship change enough so that people can move deeper inside, and the players are trying to divine the function of the devices within the ship?
>>
>>48053089
Boston, 1770's and Empire seem pretty self explainatory. Boston's population as of 1770 was 20,000, so that 15,000 number's not far off. In 1770, I'd think a sufficiently advanced AI would seem like a god, so that makes sense as well. The only thing I don't understand is a security team clearing an ancient orphanage.
