I tend to use something like Tarot cards for things like this. One to three cards for a location, major npcs or sometimes even player characters. One just to give a general feel of what might happen. Different decks normally have slightly different pictures. Sometimes looking at the card will give me inspiration, sometime the reading of a card. The suit of the Minor_Arcana can have many readings for example if you get Queen of Cups, may be a local Bishop comes to town; followed by 4 of Coins, he buys a local farm and Seven of Swords, but now he regrets his action (I wonder why?).
