What are your brainstorming tricks?

[Kyeudo]

I figured I should share one of the tricks I've found most useful when trying to come up with new places for my games. I use a Dominion randomizer to see a bunch of possible city traits all at once, keep any that seem to fit together or catch my interest, and repeat until everything is filled in or the idea has crystalized sufficiently in my head.

Anyone else have tricks they use?

I often ask my friend for help a lot of times. His name's Jack Daniels.

I throw in a setting shift. Maybe it's a manse that creates humans. Maybe an infinite water canteen.

Then I see what changes after that.
