some of these links will provide you with great tips to creating a story.
It will also help in defining procedurally driven story lines created by the program itself.

Nice links! I take it you've also looked into the Hero's Journey articles out there? All about the call to adventure, the wise old man, etc etc? Good stuff too, but I am without links right now.

These, I find, can provide some interesting locations to start writing a story for an RPG. They are links to DnD hocks designed for the Ebberon tabletop series.
