Dear all PUM players,

It's been a long journey, and an awesome one. It is time to commit to a break with the Plot Unfolding Machine, not only because you deserve some stability, but also because I feel really happy with the way it works in V8. I'll always wish for improvements and changes, but I think the thing also deserves a break, to be able to move to something else in 2024 :)

PUM, SUM, and GUM are now stable, and are cool:

- PUM takes care of the plot
- SUM takes care of your NPCs
- GUM takes care of your game in general

So, what's NEW in this FINAL version (unless I messed up or there's a bad editing typo in it).
If you printed it, NOTHING was changed, only new stuff added that didn't fit in previous releases.

• I added an extra page of oracles. With those oracles that I had on previous versions and didn't make it because of space reasons. I really don't want to throw them away! I reworded them from old PUM versions into the playstyle of PUM v8:
  • Quantifiers: How much, how many, how well, how hard
  • Time (when?)
  • Object (what for?)
  • Fight (skills)
  • Sense (perceive)
  • Discovery (find)
  • Stakes (risk)
  • Description (a d100 adjectives list)
• The Custom plot sheet was changed so ALL entries are blank for you to customize your PUM
• A new Plot Nodes (optional) sheet added with additional nodes I once considered:
  • Notable characters
  • Interesting locations
  • Two empty lists for you to define, if you like

And that's it! Nothing changed from PUM V8 Rev1 other than these extra and optional additional pages.

Feedback is always welcome! Good or bad, or even better, the awesome stories you make with PUM!

Have fun!
