I found something quite useful for the terminally lazy GMs:

&lt;URL:<A  HREF="http://www.irony.com/webtools.html">http://www.irony.com/webtools.html</A>&gt;

There's stuff for generating villages, taverns, cities, caverns, dungeons,
mazes, worlds (terra-like only), isles, random bits of terrain, solar
systems, galaxy sectors but no source code for any of it (apart from the
one for solar systems but that's Accrete and doesn't count). 

There's also a page of links to tools for generating things like NPC
descriptions.  Rather cool, I thought.

Apparently, the folks are happy to chat about how their tools work.  It
won't hurt to try if you're interested...
