Theme: open a dictionary randomly (eyes closed) and put your finger on the page. Open your eyes and see what you're touching. That's your theme.
Places.. you could do an Atlas, but you could world-build. Ooh! Do like above but with an Atlas and use that type of ecosystem/terrain! Desert, temperate, mountain, etc. Try again if you hit water (or go with island). LOL
Need more ideas? dictionary again. Do it 5 times and think what you can do with those words.
Genre, if nothing comes to you assign different genres to a side of a die, then roll the die. There's your answer. Having polyhedral dice is handy for this, or if you only have 6-sided ones you can go 2-12 and roll 2, 3-18 and roll 3, etc.
Ask a friend to name an event. Don't say why, just get them to name one. Do this with a few different people.

When in doubt, leave it to chance. :)
