Game Unfolding Machine

The Game Unfolding Machine (GUM) is a GM Emulator to play any RPG you like without a GM figure. It follows the road of my previous installments the Plot Unfolding Machine and the Scene Unfolding Machine, and represents my current way of playing games right now.

• 8 Steps process to create a game from scratch into your first scene
• Meta-tool to design interesting scenes and content for your PCs
• 10 tailored random tables that aim for an all-in-one solo experience
• Advice for playing solo RPG, and all my love of months of work
• One-pager with a compact version of the tools to play conveniently

GUM Extended (threshold price $5) - Features

5 additional tools to add to your toolkit:

• Brain prober: Prompting questions for expanded world and scene building
• Scene kicker: Get unstuck by generating scene starting phrases
• Plot discovery: Reveal the plot with past, present, and imminent clues
• NPC interaction: Get ideas for NPC dialogue and feedback

• Additional meta-tool Hexflower based scene prompt scenario for traversing dungeons and unknown areas!

I really hope you like this toolbox for playing Solo RPGs, and it may be used to play with friends, or be used to generate amazing adventures for your groups too!
