Completely random session?
Has anyone run a completely randomly generated session before? Random as in, not a handful of prepared encounters the PCs can seek out, but random as in every encounter is generated on the fly such that not even the DM knows what's going to happen.
There are a whole bunch of random generators on donjon, and I figured I could probably open a bunch of them in different tabs and roll them when I need...
But is this style of play even fun? And is it an effective use of our 8 hours a month? (It sounds fun to me; I have till January to figure out if I can pull it off though lol)

So apparently this makes Gygax a bad guy. What? Am I missing something?
"AFTERWORD
It is the spirit of the game, not the letter of the rules, which is important. Never hold to the letter written, nor allow some barracks room lawyer to force quotations from the rule book upon you, if it goes against the obvious intent of the game. As you hew the line with respect to conformity to major systems and uniformity of play in general, also be certain the game is mastered by you and not by your players. Within the broad parameters given in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons volumes, you are creator and final arbiter. By ordering things as they should be, the game as a whole first, your campaign next, and your participants thereafter, You will be playing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons as it was meant to be. May you find as much pleasure in so doing as the rest of us do!"
