Plot Unfolding Machine (Free Version)

The Plot Unfolding Machine (PUM) is a GM Emulator that enables you to play any Tabletop RPG you like without a game master. By taking over some GM calls, you can play RPGs by yourself, or with your friends, without anybody being exclusively the GM! PUM helps you come up with scene ideas, challenges, and stakes for your PCs to fight for.

What stands between your characters and their goals? Who is opposing them, and how? What happens next?. These are questions PUM helps you answer, moving your game forward. Let PUM make the important decisions in your games through oracles and questions, and play to figure out what it tries to tell you.

Plot Unfolding Machine is an innovative way to play those tabletop roleplaying games you love at your own pace, without need for preparation. Just build your characters, print your preferred PUM sheets, and get going! Through asking questions and rolling dice in random tables, you'll figure out how your plot unfolds.

By placing conflict at the center of the adventure, you'll find your characters having to fight for their goals, interact with your world-building aspects, and have your RPG system to actually matter. PUM's main goal is to bring solo RPG players back to the playing seat, lowering your GM authorship effort when playing.
