Game Unfolding Machine

Game Unfolding Machine (GUM) is a generic and modular Game Master’s assistant that helps you set up and prepare your favorite tabletop roleplaying games with less effort by providing you with ideas for creating and playing your game.

It is essentially made of two parts, a game creation guide that helps you set up engaging plot seeds and open up to world building elements, and a second part with a set of inspiring generator random tables to enrich your game further, or get ideas on the fly, such as items, enemies, creatures, factions, and more.

Difference between PUM, GUM, and SUM?

PUM is a GM emulator for driving plots and storytelling. SUM is a supplement for Scene and NPC emulation and bringing them to life. GUM v2 is a set of abstract random tables and generators for game prep and world building. With all three you have an infinite Solo RPG setup and a source of ideas to play on the fly.

Have fun and happy gaming
