If you do searches, there is an amazing amount of rpg stuff out there. Random spells, magic items, class lists for various games. It takes a bit of sorting through it all, but tons of material out there.

i am not looking for this kind of lists, i am just looking for lists of keywords, i need at least a 500 words to what i am planning.

I guess it would be best to figure out the general categories and their related categories or subcategories, then search the web with help of those.
I started doing a list because I was bored. Three big contenders for top general spots are elements, weapons, and job categories.
Even with help of those, I'm barely hitting 200 words. I assume it could be expanded If more specific job categories or elements were allowed.
Here is what I was able to compile, it's imperfect and incomplete, but I barely had an hour to do it.
Some elements:
Aether (Creation), Nether (Destruction), Chaos, Order, Psyche – (Rage, Gloom, Joy, Love, Hatred, Fear), Physical – (Blunt, Slash, Piercing), Space, Time, Soul
Other themes:
Mirrors, Puppets, Crystals, Tattoo
If you find it useful, perhaps me, you, and other forum users could help to expand it or give it some sort of categorization... If not... oh, well. I've tried!
Okay, out of time for today.

I was going to go off on how the choice of what classes you decide to include effects world building... but seems this is about something else
emperor Wrote:500, what would you need that many for? Well, my immediate thought is pathfinder, it has quite a few classes on its own, but to get to 500 you might want to count archetypes as separate classes, maybe even included class option like sources bloodlines, cleric domains, fighter weapon groups, etc.The Wrote: If you do searches, there is an amazing amount of rpg stuff out there.

the regular ways i use to create content for games of defining needs(not that i have a lot of practice wit hit) is just not suitable for litrpg, where the focus is on creativity and complexity.
to do that, i am planing to make a generator that will throw key words at me (3-5 words at once), and i practice making a class for it with a skill kit.
for example:
keywords: sword, duel wielding, spear, air
class: wind warrior of the deer tribe
a warrior that fight with a spear. his speed and reach allow him to keep opponents at bay.
his innate magic give him a the ability to control a sword made of air at very close range that he can use to defend attacks and any opponent that passed his spear tip.

Get a dictionary, use a verb/adjective in the first row, and a noun for the second. Maybe split verb and adjective into two rows.
For example, look at a bullshit generator (khmm... corporate speech generator)
Sure, you could end up with a [Drunken Underdog Whiner] or a [Lonely Strong-Armed Wanker], or even a [Monthly Water Potter], but hey! It's random!

Please tell me where I can find this generator and how many clicks it will take me to get "Tribal Mud Spaceship" As a class archetype. I don't know how that works, but I am going to love reading it.
