I love making players ask questions. “How did this get here? Why is that thing like that?”
A random encounter might be able to inject this sort of curiosity with the right setup. By doing so you can add depth, color and even a little history to a game when the well has run dry of ideas, then unleash the characters and let their questions build the world.
However, a player should always remember what happened to the cat in the cliché...
