Don't know where I got this, and I haven't done it, but it sure makes sense to me!
On individual index cards, write down ten different professions, ten locations, ten obstacles and ten goals. Shuffle each of the four packs, and pick one card from each. Write the opening scene of a screenplay based on these four elements. Repeat at least three times. Add to the decks over time, and come up with ideas for new decks: villains, time periods, love interests, etc. Use whenever you’re having trouble coming up with a new story idea, or as a warm-up writing exercise.
