While not exclusively a PFRPG-compatible product, our upcoming line of PDFs will be system neutral, and thus compatible with any number of systems, including PFRPG.
Releasing early next month is the first in a new line of short PDF products called Random Acts of... The first product will be Random Acts of Violence. Each product in the line will have 100 different one- to three-sentence story bites that can be used to give flavor to scenes and settings or be used as adventure seeds for further adventures.
Random Acts of... is system neutral, but the initial release will be for the fantasy genre. Future releases will include Random Acts of Kindness, Random Acts of Deception, Random Acts of Horror, Random Acts of Justice, Random Acts of the Gods, Random Acts of Humor, and Random Acts of Love & Passion. The default genre will remain fantasy, but we also plan releases for other genres, such as Random Acts of Super Violence (comic book/supers), Random Acts of Future Violence (sci-fi), etc.
As there are exactly 100 random acts in each release, a GM can easily roll d100 to randomly generate an adventure seed or scene/setting detail. No game stats are included in order to keep the acts system neutral, and thus of use in many different RPGs.
Each release in the line will sell for $1.99, and will be available at Paizo.com, DriveThruRPG/RPGNow and Your Games Now.
Here are a few samples from the first release, Random Acts of Violence:
39. After a night on the town, the PCs return to their inn where one finds a severed finger nailed to the door to their room.
40. As the PCs walk down a street, a man comes crashing through a door into the street, obviously thrown through the door by the large half-orc inside the building.
41. As the PCs are fording a river they notice a body lodged against some rocks. Investigating, they discover the body has a slit throat and clearly did not die from drowning.
42. Passing through a village square, the PCs see a peasant woman run screaming from a well. At the bottom of the well is a dead body.
43. While the PCs are shopping in a general store, several thugs armed with clubs and crossbows burst in, demanding all the coins.
44. Walking down a street at night, the PCs are surprised by a black-clad man leaping from an alley and smashing one PC in the chest with a 2x4.
45. The local lord is giving a speech in the town square when someone shoots him with a crossbow.
46. The PCs find a body in an alleyway. The person is alive – barely – buy has had the flesh flayed from both arms and legs.

Interesting, a bit like the bits of products that.... um I forget the name of the company now did awhile back. But there's was more about scenery than events.
Thanks! I think I know what you are talking about. I think I have one or two of those.
Very nice! I approve this message...er, this product line. :)
