Rule of thumb: procedural generators can't create new content, thet can generate more of the same content. More precisely: they can generate large quantities of content that is not identical, but still feels same-ish. Generating anything truly new or unique requires manually adding more content.

Setting: post-apocalypse zombies/paranormal.

Our world collided with a parallel world. As a consequence stuff from several neighboring worlds leaked into ours. Some of this stuff could not exist in out world before and would not function even if it did exist.

Examples of stuff:

• zombies
• gremlins (Who is a good gremlin? Yes you are!)
• Alice Smith (Hey! This was not part of the deal! I already existed in all of those worlds to begin with!)
• mad scientists and their creations (steampunk)
• futuristic-looking "tech" that defies the laws of physics as we know them (sci-fi)

For a setting conbining sci-fi&fantasy:

The four major deities of the pantheon are:

• Alice - the goddes of information, sanity and order (in that order).
• Bob, her husband - the god of context
• Eve - the goddes of mischief, chaos, entropy and insanity (in no particular order)
• The Nameless one - the goddes or god of secrets. There is a sect that describes her or him as "god or goddes" instead as if they knew something the rest do not
• [REDACTED].[EXPUNGED] 404-451: Thou shalt use the phrase "her or him" as my third person singular pronoun.

Sometimes there is no sharp boundary
Sometimes there is a spectrum
Sometimes the spectrum is continuous rather than discrete
Sometimes the spectrum is not one dimensional
Sometimes the spectrum is not two dimensional either
Sometimes both math and logic admit defeat

The world is not designed to be easy to think about
