PUM Companion

Play the Plot Unfolding Machine through an app, easier than ever!

The Plot Unfolding Machine is a game to play Role Playing Games by yourself, for storytelling and creative writing, and world building. Create stories on the fly using your own imagination, a plot structure to guide you, and a set of random prompts (oracles) that are going to give you an infinite source of ideas.

PUM Companion allows you to play and track such adventures digitally. Write notes and journal your game, roll dice, keep track of your characters and plot nodes, advance your plot through Scene Beats, ask the oracles, and bring your storytelling adventures with you all along, all in one place!

Possible ways to use PUM Companion:

• Creative and fiction writing
• Storytelling and journaling with dice
• Play tabletop RPGs by yourself
• World building and game preparation
• Get quick ideas and take notes in group games

The rulebook of the Plot Unfolded Machine is recommended to enjoy the most of this app, particularly If you never did this hobby before. The app is however self-explanatory and has some basic instructions inside to get you going.
