Yonks ago, I remember coming across an application that let you create random generation tables (meant for things like treasure trove contents, random names, "who is sitting at the end of the bar" questions, and s forth), then roll against them in a batch-based automated fashion. I recall that some industrious someone had used them to automate the bewilderingly complex yet awesome lifepath generation system found in the long lamented Central Castings "Heroes Of ...." books.
Anyone remember that application or anything like it? I dig lifepath systems, but they can be SO time consuming to use...
