Strange Beginnings

The notion of playing a game that develops a fantasy world from scratch all the way up to strange and bizarre societies of weirdos has always appealed to me. I've tried to approach it a number of different ways. The latest idea is to get a BRP game going and use some basic starting scenario charts ripped from myth and legend to give me a sort of jumping-off point.

HOW THE WORLD WAS MADE
1. Creation from Chaos
2. Earth-Diver
3. Emergence
4. Ex Nihilo
5. World-Parent
6. Always Existed

THE PRIMAL GODS
The Chief of the Gods is... (1d2 for male/female)
1. The God of the Heavens
2. The God of the Air
3. The God of Fresh Water
4. The God of the Underworld
5. The God of the Sea
6. The God of the Earth
7. The God of the Moon
8. The God of the Sun
9. The God of the Night
10. Some other type of god

WHAT GROSS THING IS YOUR GOD MADE OF?
1. A scarab
2. A snake
3. A sea-serpent (it's not the same thing, you know that)
4. A hawk
5. A dung beetle
6. A stag
7. A wolf
8. A spider
9. A corpse
10. Wheels upon wheels upon wheels

HOW DID HUMAN BEINGS COME TO BE?
1. Slaves of the Gods
2. Children of the Gods
3. Accidental
4. Created by the Gods
5. Arrived from Somewhere Else
6. Born out of the Primal Sea

WHAT BROUGHT AN END TO THE COSMIC BALANCE AND SET MANKIND ON THE PATH OF CIVILIZATION?
1. A flood
2. A casting-out
3. A great conflagration
4. The collapse of an important structure
5. The coming of something awful
6. An earthquake
7. The death of a god
8. vengeful spirits

These are just a few ideas I'm tossing around, of course, but they represent a larger notion of completely emergent storytelling. However, at this stage, the charts are so vague that they'd need to serve merely as templates for detailed creation work.
