What you get

Story ideas combine a character, a situation and a twist into one sentence: use it as a seed for a short story, a scene, a comic or a game session. Opening lines give you a first sentence to carry on from. Drawing ideas describe a subject, a detail and a mood or palette to sketch or paint. What to eat suggests a simple meal made of a base, a topping and a mood, for those evenings when nobody can decide.

Tips for using them

You don’t have to follow an idea exactly. Change the character, swap the ending, or use only the part that sparks something. If an idea doesn’t grab you, press Another one; there are thousands of combinations. Use ☆ Save for the ones you want to come back to. For a name for your character or a team, see the Name Generators.
