There was a product named (IIRC) "Destiny Deck".  I
bought it several years ago and stopped using it when
it got wet and half the cards were damaged.  It was a
great RPG resourse because it had several different
categories.  One was settings, another has events(read
plot devices), a third was specials(read temp
skill/power bonuses), and I can't recall what the 4th
category was.  What you could do was pick out one or
more cards from one or more categories and use these
to build a plot around.  The settings were general in
nature with a list of suggested ideas... for example
one card was "A Place of Worship" and listed in
parentheses was a shrine, a temple, a synagogue, a
hidden cult cell, etc...  (forgive me I'm quoting
these from memory..)

I don't recall who published them or where they can be
found.  I found them on the back shelf of a small
comic-book/gaming shop that has since gone out of
business.  I'll do some web-searching and see if I can
turn up any info on these, if anyone is interested....
