This site is completely new to me. Or, more accurately, a good DEAL of this site is completely new to me. In fact, anything that is not the Fractal World Generator is a whole new world. (I can be very obnoxious sometimes.) I decided to go through this generator, by generator, by generator, by generator. Y'see, unlike the other generators, that I had either seen before or were very small and could be understood rather quickly, Donjon is similar to the Sanctum or Chaotic Shiny in that it is a conglomeration of a multitude of generators.
Usefulness: 4 out of 5
Donjon is very focused on Dungeons and Dragons and Dungeon Mastering. That makes it "sort of" useful for writers (you have to make sure you're not archetyping too hard, which DnD tends to do). However, unlike many of the generators I normally frequent, this has a nice set of SciFi world/system generators. It'll give you planets! That's so convenient if you want to write a SciFi but don't want to worry about all the planets you're not ACTUALLY writing about.
The naming generators are pretty intense, about as hardcore as Rinkworks. You pick a main group of names (like "Outsiders") and then a subgroup (like "Earth Elementals"). There are so many options as far as names go, plus he separates them into Fantasy and SciFi.
Fun: 1 out of 5
This is a boring website. Oh god, it's so boring. The design is bland, there is no humor involved. It's not fun. I can find literally no redeeming qualities in it, as far as fun goes.
Hipster: 5 out of 5
I've been on this site a multitude of times and never realized that there was more than one generator. That should be answer enough.
